After what should be an easy first two weeks of the 2025 season, things kick up a few a notches for the Texas Tech football team in Week 3.
The Red Raiders open the season with three straight home games and close non-conference play against Oregon State. Arkansas-Pine Bluff and Kent State shouldn’t be much of a problem for Tech, but the Beavers have some talented offensive weapons that could be a shock to Joey McGuire’s team on Sept. 13.
Here’s what to know about the Oregon State Beavers as we continue to take an early look at Texas Tech’s 2025 schedule:
Get to know Texas Tech football opponent: Oregon State Beavers
The 2024 season was a wild ride for Oregon State. The Beavers started well, winning four of their first five games, but then lost six of their final seven contests, including a five-game losing streak that included a 28-0 loss to Air Force.
Oregon State should be better equipped to compete in 2025. Returning are the team’s top rusher, Anthony Hankenson (232 attempts, 1,082 yards, 15 touchdowns), top receiver Trent Walker (81 catches, 901 yards) and tackler DB Skyler Thomas (81 tackles, nine pass breakups).
The headliner here, though, is the quarterback head coach Trent Bray brought in from the transfer portal. Former Texas Longhorn Maalik Murphy put up solid numbers for Duke last season, completing 60% of his passes and totaling 2,933 yards and 26 touchdowns with 12 interceptions. He’ll be the guy for Oregon State this season, adding a more proven gunslinger to an offense that had just seven passing touchdowns in 2024.
