Texas Tech's Season Finale Against West Virginia Holds Major Stakes for Football Program

This Saturday's regular-season finale between Texas Tech and West Virginia is crucial for the football team because it holds a lot of possibilities. Bob Giovannetti, Senior Associate Athletics Director, talked about how important it is and said that the team can end with an 8-4 record, which hasn't happened since 2009.

He said, "This is a great way to end the season." "We have a 3.9% chance of making it to the Big 12 title game, finish 8-4, and say goodbye to our senior class. A bowl game would be great for us."

The Red Raiders also want to set a new record for the most fans in a single season. About 55,000 people are expected to fill the seats. Giovannetti said he hopes that everyone, even those going home for Thanksgiving, will return to the stadium because the kids are a big part of what makes it unique.

Before the game starts, more than 20 seniors will be honored on the field. Notable running back Tahj Brooks, the program's all-time top rusher, will be among them. Brooks could have quit after last season but decided to stay for his senior year. This shows how close Coach Joey McGuire is to his players and how loyal the fans are. 

Many people think this is their last chance to play in front of one of the best crowds and venues in the country.
