Joey McGuire Wants Cleaner Football From Unbeaten Texas Tech

Texas Tech football, riding a 5-0 record and a No. 11 ranking in the AP Top 25, enters its midseason bye week with momentum but also a clear focus on refining key areas ahead of Big 12 play.

The Red Raiders’ recent 29-7 road victory over Colorado showcased a dominant defensive performance, though the team faced early struggles before turning the game around in the second half. Head coach Joey McGuire’s leadership has been a focal point, with the program aiming to build on its strong start and push for a top-10 ranking after a two-week break.

Meanwhile, Texas Tech’s offensive standout Cody Campbell has become a lightning rod for attention, responding sharply to a provocative comment from an Arkansas booster during the bye week. The Red Raiders now sit atop the Big 12 power rankings, but the upcoming schedule—including a potential matchup with Arizona State—will test their ability to sustain their form and address lingering concerns before conference play intensifies.
