The Texas Tech Red Raiders (7-5, 5-4 Big 12) will face the Ole Miss Rebels (8-4, 4-4 SEC) in the TaxAct Texas Bowl at NRG Stadium in Houston, TX.
In the Red Raiders’ first season under Joey McGuire, they finished their regular season on a high. They won three-straight games despite quarterback changes throughout the season due to injury. Texas Tech’s last win of the season came in a 51-48 thriller over Oklahoma.
The Rebels didn’t end their season on a good note. They dropped four of their last five games after starting the year 7-0 under Lane Kiffin. The Ole Miss running game has caused problems for opposing defenses all season, ranking 10th in yards per rush attempt (5.4). Leading the rushing attack was Quinshon Judkins, who rushed for 1,476 yards and 16 touchdowns this year.
