The program
Overview
Texas Tech became known for high-powered passing under Mike Leach's Air Raid offense, highlighted by Michael Crabtree's last-second touchdown that beat No. 1 Texas in 2008. Patrick Mahomes played quarterback in Lubbock, and the 'Guns Up' hand sign is a signature tradition. Under Joey McGuire, the Red Raiders won the 2025 Big 12 title and earned a College Football Playoff bye.
