Texas Tech enjoyed one of its best-ever seasons in 2025—but on Thursday, the Red Raiders ended that season with one of the College Football Playoff’s biggest-ever duds.
Oregon shut out Texas Tech 23–0 in the Orange Bowl Thursday, advancing to the Peach Bowl to meet the winner of the Rose Bowl between Alabama and Indiana. The Ducks dominated proceedings despite a strong defensive performance from the Red Raiders; Oregon outgained Texas Tech 309–215 and forced four turnovers.
