Ole Miss-Texas Tech football: TV channel, game time, odds
By Andrew Olson
Published:
Ole Miss’ second season under head coach Matt Luke (the first sans the interim tag) gets underway with a big test as the Rebels travel to Houston to face Texas Tech in the Advocare Texas Kickoff. Ole Miss notched six wins in 2017, but Luke’s squad was banned from playing in the postseason. Under different circumstances, the Rebels might have gone to a December bowl game, but fans are certainly satisfied with a November Egg Bowl victory that provided plenty of optimism for 2018.
Saturday’s neutral-site showdown with the Red Raiders should feature plenty of scoring. Below, find kickoff time, TV channel information and odds for the Ole Miss-Texas Tech football game.
