Texas Tech Favored Over Colorado in Week 5

Despite throwing three interceptions last week, Texas Tech still dominated Sam Houston 49-14, with linebacker Austin Romaine returning two interceptions for touchdowns. Colorado, meanwhile, has dropped two straight games after a 2-0 start, getting outscored 64-20. The Buffaloes benched starter Julian Lewis for Isaac Wilson at quarterback last week.

Texas Tech quarterback Will Hammond has struggled with five interceptions compared to four touchdown passes this season. The Red Raiders haven't shown the explosiveness of last season, averaging the sixth-fewest yards per game in the Big 12. Colorado has struggled defensively, allowing the third-most total yards and second-most points per game in the conference. With Colorado's unsettled quarterback situation, Texas Tech is expected to maintain their momentum and improve to 5-0. afnews.co.za
