Start time, channel announced for ASU football’s matchup with ranked Texas Tech

Arizona State football will face No. 11 Texas Tech on Saturday, Oct. 17, on FOX at 12:30 p.m. MST, the Big 12 announced on Monday.

The road matchup will be ASU’s first game on FOX this season after previously playing on ABC, FS1 and most recently ESPN.

That latest game against Baylor was a major step back for Sun Devils this season, as they lost their Big 12 home opener 55-19. Mountain America Stadium emptied out by the fourth quarter, and ASU fell to 2-2 (1-1 in Big 12 games).

Head coach Kenny Dillingham said his team is not playing up to its capabilities, which he took responsibility for.

ASU has a home game against 1-4 Hawai’i on Saturday to find some answers before taking on a ranked opponent. The Hawai’i game will air on FS1.

The Red Raiders are 5-0 this season under head coach Joey McGuire and quarterback Will Hammond, coming off a 29-7 victory over Colorado.

Texas Tech has a bye week before hosting ASU.

The Big 12 slate on Oct. 17 also includes:

• Cincinnati at West Virginia, 9 a.m. on TruTV
• Kansas at Kansas State, 9 a.m. on FS1
• TCU at Baylor, 4 p.m. on FS1
• Oklahoma State at Houston, 4:30 p.m. on FOX
• Notre Dame at BYU, 4:30 p.m. on ABC
• Utah at Colorado, 7:15 p.m. on ESPN/ESPN2

The Arizona Wildcats have a bye week after taking on West Virginia this Saturday in Morgantown.
