Preview, score prediction as Texas Tech football visits Colorado

The Texas Tech football team stands in the way of an open schedule for their upcoming game against the struggling Colorado team in Boulder. While the Red Raiders are the heavy favorites, some areas may provide opportunities for a Colorado upset. Texas Tech's offense has not been at its best, so interceptions and turnovers will be crucial for Will Hammond.

Tight end Terrance Carter Jr. is expected to return, providing the team with a valuable weapon. Quarterback Cameron Dickey has been impressive with 156 yards and 3 touchdowns in his last two games, making him the primary back. On the other side, Colorado's defense is not the strongest, although they have managed to prevent touchdowns from teams like Northwestern and Baylor.

The Buffs struggle with both the air game and the ground game, ranking 77th in the country in rushing yards per game and struggling with passing the ball. They have switched to former Utah quarterback Isaac Wilson, who has shown promise in benching Juju Lewis. The story to watch in this game is whether Colorado's new QB can ignite their team, especially since they will be playing at home with their dedicated fanbase.

This game could be a determining factor for Texas Tech's season, and a successful early performance may set them up for a strong finish. The predicted score for this game is Texas Tech 38, Colorado 14, as the Red Raiders aim to walk out of Folsom Field as victors after a strong start.
