Texas Tech @ Penn St? A season opening game?
1995?
I specifically remember watching this game because it was the first time I ever watched anything Texas Tech. And as a kid living in Texas at the time, it kinda reminds me how coverage for the Aggies and Longhorns, and prime-timing their games, drowned out the other Texas schools. All the local papers from Houston to San Antonio devoted there college coverage to those two, understandably.
From what I remember, Texas Tech moved into the rankings the next week up to 22nd. Even though they lost, the voters were impressed enough with the Red Raiders going toe to toe with a 4th ranked team on the road.
