AMES, Iowa (AP) — Texas Tech’s visit to Iowa State on Saturday will be its furthest trip north in November in 52 years.

It’ll be an especially chilly afternoon for the Red Raiders if they can’t get rolling against the Cyclones.

Texas Tech (3-7, 1-6 Big 12) has lost three straight, and its only league win came against Kansas.

The Cyclones (2-7, 0-6) has also dropped its last three. But their most recent loss, a 34-14 whipping at the hands of the Jayhawks, might have been the worst in six seasons under Paul Rhoads.
