LUBBOCK, Texas – Texas Tech announced Tuesday its theme schedule for the 2024 football season, which will feature the annual Agriculture Game as well as a new initiative in the Raider Power Game.

Sept. 14 vs. North Texas – Agriculture Game: The Ag Game promotion is part of a partnership between the athletics department and the Davis College of Agricultural Sciences and National Resources, highlighting the crops, livestock and technologies that are prominent to Texas Tech and the South Plains. Representatives from the agriculture industry to the university’s nationally prominent judging teams will be among those honored throughout the game.

Texas Tech will recognize each branch of the military and its campus military and veterans’ programs throughout the game. This will also be Texas Tech’s Hall of Fame weekend where the 2024 class will be honored at halftime. The 2024 class to the Texas Tech Hall of Fame will be announced later this summer.
Nov. 30 vs. West Virginia – Senior Day: Texas Tech will honor its senior class prior to kickoff with an on-field ceremony featuring head coach Joey McGuire and the families of each Red Raider senior.
