The Red Raiders, who haven't started 5-0 in back-to-back seasons since 2012-2013, are led by linebacker Austin Romaine's two interception returns for touchdowns in last week's win. Colorado has dropped two straight games after a 2-0 start, making a quarterback change midway through last week's loss to Baylor.
Despite quarterback Will Hammond's five interceptions this season, Texas Tech is favored over a Colorado team that struggles defensively, allowing the third-most yards in the Big 12. The Buffaloes also face offensive challenges, averaging the fewest points in the conference as they look to avoid a third straight loss. freshyourfeel.org
