LUBBOCK, Texas -
Texas Tech's 2013 season opener against SMU at Gerald Ford Stadium in
Dallas has been moved to Friday, Aug. 30, to accommodate a national
television
broadcast on ESPN. Kickoff has been set for 7 p.m. CT.
The
game will mark the first of the Kliff Kingsbury era and the second
consecutive Texas Tech-SMU game to air nationally on ESPN. In the last
match-up between the two
teams, the Red Raiders defeated the Mustangs 35-27 at Jones AT&T
Stadium on Sept. 5, 2010.
Texas
Tech will be making its first Friday night appearance since a Sept. 27,

the Red Raiders to
a 49-0 shutout of the Lobos.
