Up Next: Texas Tech

Fresh off its 41-34 upset victory over 6th-ranked Oklahoma, Kansas State now turns its attention to Texas Tech. The Red Raiders pulled off an upset of their own in their conference-opener, topping in-state rival Texas 37-34 in overtime. In this installment of Up Next, Jeff Burkhart (@jeff_burkhart) caught up Steven Rodriguez @L_S_Rodriguez of the Talkin' Tech Podcast (@TalkinTechPod). Steven offered up his thoughts on the following questions surrounding the up-and-coming Red Raiders:

- How big was the home win over Texas for first-year head coach Joey McGuire?

- What was the fan reaction to the Big 12 Conference fining Texas Tech after fans stormed the field?

- What has quarterback Donovan Smith given the Red Raider offense after stepping in for injured Tyler Shough?

- Who has emerged as a complement to breakout wide receiver Myles Price?

- How has the offensive line held up in pass protection for this "Air Raid" attack?

- What has defensive coordinator Tim DeRuyter done to improve his side of the ball?

- Which team is more likely to suffer the "hangover" effects this Saturday?

- How do Texas Tech fans feel about the Wildcats taking 10 of the last 11 meetings in the series?
