College Football:
Oregon is on the road at Texas Tech Saturday where a 16 game non conference home winning streak is on the line for the Red Raiders. The game is set to be played in front of a record sellout with temperatures in the 90s at kick-off. With that heat it’s probably a good idea the Ducks will wear white uniforms with silver helmets. Hear pre and post-game coverage and the 4 pm Kickoff Saturday on KBND.
