Following a 24–25 loss to Kansas State in the eighth week of the 2021 season, head coach Matt Wells was fired on October 25.[6] Offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Sonny Cumbie was named interim head coach for the rest of the 2021 season. On November 8, Joey McGuire was hired as the Red Raider's new head coach, having previously been the associate head coach and outside linebackers coach for the Baylor Bears.[7] On November 24, McGuire announced that he would be retaining Cumbie as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.[8] However, Cumbie was hired as the head coach at Louisiana Tech University on November 30.[9] Running backs coach DeAndre Smith, father of quarterback Donovan Smith, was retained by McGuire.[10] On December 5, Virginia Tech announced that it had hired co-defensive coordinator Derek Jones.[11] The following day it was announced that head defensive coordinator Keith Patterson had been hired as the head coach at Abilene Christian.[12] DeAndre Smith was later hired as the New York Giants' running backs coach on February 11, 2022.[13][14]

Game information

Tyler Shough started at quarterback for the Red Raiders but exited the game at the end of the first quarter due to a possible injury.[29] Donovan Smith then came in at quarterback and quickly scored with a 30-yard pass to Jerand Bradley. Murray State's starting quarterback, D. J. Williams, would also be injured, as his right leg gave out on a sack on the last play of the first half. With the Red Raiders up 56–10, Smith exited the game midway through the third quarter and was relieved by Behren Morton. The three Texas Tech quarterbacks went for a combined 27/36 for 472 yards, 6 touchdowns, and one interception.

Game information

This was Texas Tech's first win over Texas in Lubbock since 2008.[32] Texas Tech narrowed the Longhorns' lead in the all-time series to 16 wins against 52 losses in the 68-game in-state rivalry.[33]

Although the Red Raiders held a 14–10 lead early in the second quarter, they trailed 24–14 at halftime. Trailing 31–24 after three quarters, Texas Tech tied the game on a Donavan Smith pass to Baylor Cupp, and then took a 34–31 lead late in the 4th quarter on a Trey Wolff 45-yard field goal. The Red Raiders appeared to have the game in hand as the Longhorns got the ball with just 21 seconds left in the 4th quarter at the Tech 29-yard line. But the Longhorns drove 46 yards in three plays and got a long field goal as time ran out to force overtime.[34] In overtime, the Red Raiders won the coin toss and elected to play on defense first. The strategy paid off when linebacker Krishon Merriweather's hard hit on all-conference tailback Bijon Robinson forced a fumble that was recovered by defensive back Reggie Pierson Jr. Texas Tech's SaRodorick Thompson gained 17 yards on Tech's first offensive play in overtime, setting up Trey Wolff's game-winning field goal.[35]

Game information

The Horned Frogs entered the game with an 8–0 record and a top-10 ranking. TCU took an early 7–0 lead on a long punt return, but starting quarterback Behren Morton pulled Tech even at 7–7 with a 47-yard touchdown pass to Jerand Bradley. Trey Wolff added a short field goal to put Texas Tech up 10–7, but Morton suffered a lower body injury in the second quarter. He was replaced by Tyler Shough.[36]

Tech's defense held the Horned Frogs scoreless in the third, with Jaylon Hutchings making a key sack against TCU's Max Duggan on a 4th-down play deep in Tech territory. Shough's 33-yard touchdown pass to J.J. Sparkman gave the Red Raiders a 17–13 lead going into the 4th quarter, but the Horned Frogs were able to drive 81 yards to retake the lead. Texas Tech, which committed just 6 penalties in the game, was flagged three times on TCU's go-ahead drive. The drive was extended in part by a blown call on a facemask penalty when Tech's Tyree Wilson sacked TCU's Max Duggan early in the drive deep in TCU territory. The Horned Frogs added two more Max Duggan touchdown passes in the fourth quarter to put the game away. Shough scored on a touchdown run late in the fourth quarter with the game out of reach as Tech fell to 4-5 for the season.[37]
