The official schedule for the 2011 season for the Texas Tech Red Raider football team has been released. The Red Raiders will play three non conference games and play all nine teams in the Big 12 conference. Tech will also play a total of six home games and six road games.

The Red Raiders will kick off their 2011 season on Saturday, September 3, at Jones AT&T Stadium when they play host to Texas State. The season opener for the Red Raiders with the Bobcats will mark the first time in school history the two teams have met.

Texas Tech will be open during the second week of the season before returning to non conference action on September 17th at New Mexico. The Red Raiders will close out their non-conference schedule on the 24th playing host to Nevada.
