Lubbock, TX, October 17, 2026 —
No. 10 Texas Tech is preparing to host Arizona State in a Homecoming football game in Lubbock. The Red Raiders enter the matchup with a 5-0 record, while the game also revives the memory of last season’s regular-season meeting between the teams.
Arizona State handed Texas Tech its only regular-season loss last year, giving the upcoming game a payback storyline. That history provides context for the matchup, but players and coaches have emphasized focusing on the current game rather than dwelling on the earlier result.
The contrast between the broader narrative and the team’s stated focus places the attention on how Texas Tech approaches this meeting. The available information identifies the game as a Homecoming contest and says it will be played in Lubbock, but does not provide a date, kickoff time, stadium, or details about either team’s preparation.
No player or coach names, direct quotations, or specific assessments of Arizona State were provided. The information also does not state Arizona State’s record or describe the outcome of this year’s game. For now, the key facts are Texas Tech’s 5-0 record, its No. 10 ranking, and the previous season’s loss to the Sun Devils—the result behind the payback framing, even as the team’s stated emphasis remains on the game ahead.
