Texas Tech pulled off an emphatic 29-7 victory against BYU to move to 9-1 and 6-1 in Big 12 play. The triumph puts them on track to reach the Big 12 Championship Game and gets them into the conversation for a bye in the College Football Playoff. This is the story of a transformative weekend for Texas Tech.

Texas Tech's campus isn't a familiar place for "College GameDay," only appearing as the site of the ESPN show once. In fact, that came in 2008, when the Red Raiders upset No. 1 Texas on a game-winning touchdown catch by Michael Crabtree, a two-time Biletnikoff Award winner.

Texas Tech football's barber Ivan Ortiz's wife Maddie was critically injured by a drunk driver. BYU fans rallied to exponentially exceed the $25k asked to help.

During Tuesday’s weekly presser, Texas Tech linebacker/safety John Curry talked about his electric performance against Kansas State where he finished with 62 total snaps and recorded six tackles, two stops and one fumble recovery that he took in for his first touchdown of the season.
