Why Texas Tech can cover
The Red Raiders are led offensively by quarterback Tyler Shough. The senior signal caller turned it on down the stretch in 2022, leading Texas Tech to four consecutive victories. Shough put on a show in Texas Tech's 42-25 victory over Ole Miss in the Texas Bowl, finishing with 242 passing yards, one touchdown and one interception. He also recorded 25 carries for 111 yards and two scores.
Shough rushed for over 75 yards in two of his final four games last season, giving the Red Raiders another effective ball carrier. Texas Tech has also fared well against the Mountain West, posting an 8-2 record in their last 10 meetings against a team from the MWC. See picks at SportsLine.
Why Wyoming can cover
Wyoming's defense creates havoc, making it difficult for opposing offenses to get into a rhythm. The Cowboys are led by linebacker Easton Gibbs, who finished last season with 121 total tackles, three sacks, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.
Shae Suiaunoa also brings a veteran presence at the linebacker position. Suiaunoa ranked second on the team with 73 total tackles last season. He also added 2.5 sacks and one interception. The Cowboys will rely heavily on the experience of Gibbs and Suiaunoa to slow down Texas Tech's offense on Saturday. See picks at SportsLine.
