Texas Tech vs Wyoming Preview
The Red Raiders finished with an 8-5 overall record last year, averaging 34.2 points per game on offense while allowing 29.2 points per game on the defensive side. Quarterback Tyler Shough, who threw for just over 1,300 yards while tossing seven touchdowns and four interceptions in seven appearances last season, will be the starter for Texas Tech again.
Texas Tech ended their 2022 campaign on a four game winning streak, and the team will get a good test out of the gate in the Cowboys.
“I’m really excited about playing Wyoming, I’ve never been to Wyoming,” Texas Tech head coach Joe McGuire said the week of the game. “We’re playing one of the best coaches in the nation. I’m a football geek and whenever you’re playing a coach with three national titles … (Bohl) is a culture builder. He hangs his hat on tough teams, and I absolutely love that because I think that’s who we are.”
On the other side, Wyoming finished with a 7-6 overall record last year, going 5-3 in the MWC. The Cowboys scored 21.2 points a game, while surrendering just under 24 points per game on defense.
Senior quarterback Andrew Peasley will lead Wyoming’s offense again this season. Peasley completed 52.4% of his passes for 1,754 yards, 10 TDs and nine picks. The Cowboys also have their top three running backs from last year returning, including Dawaiian McNeely, D.Q. James and Andrew Peasley.
“We’re locked in. The best thing I know is there’s an old saying, ‘You dance with who brung ya’. You better leverage your strengths, try not to be somebody that you’re not, try to be very authentic. For our players, to recognize this is an opportunity to highlight our program. Also, I am excited for our fans to have a chance to experience that as well,” Wyoming head coach Craig Bohl said.
Wyoming holds the edge over Texas Tech in the all-time series, 3-2. These two teams last played each other back in 1992, when The Red Raiders won, 49-32. With offense being the strong suit of Texas Tech, and defense being the strong suit of the Cowboys, this promises to be one of the more intriguing matchups this weekend.
