Can Texas Tech Sweep Arizona Schools?

After a rocky start to the season, Texas Tech has put things together over the last few weeks. The Red Raiders are up to 4-1 on the season and 2-0 in Big 12 play after beating Cincinnati and Arizona State to open their conference campaign. While Texas Tech's start to this season has been commendable, strength of schedule has been a major concern for them, as they have played two of the worst teams in their conference to start league play. Here, the Red Raiders will need to find a way to slow down Tetairoa McMillan if they want to get enough stops to win this game on the road to improve to 3-0 in the Big 12.

Arizona Looks to Stay Perfect In Big 12 Play All-Time

The Arizona Wildcats have played one conference game as a member of the Big 12 since joining the conference after last season. They won that game last week, delivering an upset on the road over the Utah Utes, who were without starting quarterback Cameron Rising due to injury. The Arizona defense was stellar in that game, giving up just 10 points to the Utes and getting multiple fourth down stops. Arizona did lose to a Big 12 team in Kansas State this year, to be fair, but that game was considered a non-conference contest meaning that Arizona can improve to 2-0 in conference play with a win in this matchup.

Texas Tech vs Arizona Prediction

Our best bet for this Texas Tech vs Arizona matchup is for the Arizona Wildcats to get a win at home and to cover the spread along the way. We were very impressed with the defense of the Wildcats last week, albeit against a banged up Utah offense. Look for them to slow down the Red Raiders offense in this game and for McMillan to get loose in the Texas Tech secondary throughout this matchup in Tucson.
