LUBBOCK, Texas — The Texas Tech Red Raiders will try to salvage their chances of making a bowl game Saturday evening as Kansas State comes to Jones AT&T Stadium.

At 6-4, the Wildcats are already eligible for a bowl but are just 3-4 in Big 12 play. Texas Tech is 2-5 in conference, so it would pass Kansas State in the conference standings with a win.

Here’s everything you need to know before the game.

When: Saturday, November 23 at 6 p.m.

Where: Jones AT&T Stadium. Lubbock, Texas.

Players to watch

Texas Tech QB Jett Duffey: Duffey has gotten into a groove in Texas Tech’s past two games, throwing for a combined 687 yards and five touchdowns. He will be challenged Saturday against Kansas State’s talented pass defense.

Texas Tech DB/LB Adam Beck: When Jordyn Brooks went down last weekend Beck filled his place admirably, making a team high 12 tackles. With Brooks a game-time decision on Saturday, it will be interesting to see how much Beck plays and if he can replicate that impressive output.

Kansas State QB Skylar Thompson: Like TCU’s Max Duggan, Thompson is dangerous with his legs. He rushed for seven touchdowns in a two week span against Oklahoma and Kansas.

Kansas State DB A.J. Parker: Parker leads Kansas State in pass defended with five and interceptions with three.
