The Raider Read: 10/8

Hard to believe that with all the highs and lows that have come in Tech's first 5 games, that we still have another 7 to go! It all starts this Saturday with Iowa State, but first lets take a look at other Red Raider news from around the country.

Iowa State

The Dallas Morning News has 5 things that Tech fans should know about Iowa State.

ESPN did a Q&A with Zach Austin after his big game against Baylor.

Recruiting

New 2017 5-Star O-Line commit Jack Anderson had this to say about his goals when he arrives on campus:

"There was a time when Texas Tech used to beat Baylor and TCU by a bunch of points. My dad told me about watching some of those games," Anderson said. "My goal is to help bring back that prior glory. I think history will repeat itself, Tech will be back on top and I can't wait to be a part of it."

Anderson also tweeted this:

We will be back. Believe that! Can't wait to be in Lubbock this weekend☝ ️ See you soon 806! ⚫️ pic.twitter.com/emuKN1pu3U

Speaking of recruits. The best recruitment is always word of mouth. Turns out 2016 commit, Mandeville LB, Johnathan Picone is turning into a recruiter himself.
