Big 12 Football on TNT this Saturday at Noon ET: No. 24 Texas Tech Raiders to Host Kent State Golden Flashes

TNT Sports will continue its season-long coverage of Big 12 football with the No. 24 ranked Texas Tech Red Raiders hosting the Kent State Golden Flashes on Saturday, Sept. 6, at Noon on TNT, truTV and HBO Max presented by Modelo.

Pregame coverage presented by AT&T will begin at 11:30 a.m. and feature Champ Bailey, Takeo Spikes and host Adam Lefkoe. Texas Tech legend Michael Crabtree will serve as a guest analyst throughout the afternoon, replacing Victor Cruz who is being enshrined into the UMass Hall of Fame on Saturday. Studio coverage throughout the night will also include halftime presented by Vanda Pharmaceuticals and postgame presented by GEICO.

Play-by-play voice J.B. Long and analyst Mike Golic, Jr. will call Week 2's action in Lubbock along with reporter Allie LaForce.

Leading into Saturday's Week 2 action at 11 a.m., TNT Sports will present its second installment of XII Uncovered, an access-driven show in which Big 12 football will be highlighted like never before. The weekly program will lead off with Texas Tech and provide fans an in-depth, all-access look at the Red Raiders.

The "Big 12 Studios" produced magazine-style show Inside the 12 will air on Thursday, Sept. 4, at 7 p.m., on truTV and HBO Max. The weekly preview will be hosted by Pete Sousa and Taylor McHargue.

Bleacher Report will showcase the most compelling storylines, key moments and top players 24/7 across its social platforms including House of Highlights and the B/R CFB, its college football-focused vertical. Throughout the season, Bleacher Report will produce a series of new Big 12-centered programming concepts, including Field Study, which this week will feature Texas Tech head coach Joey McGuire and star quarterback Behren Morton.

For Week 3, TNT Sports will present the No. 12 ranked Arizona State Sun Devils hosting the Texas State Bobcats on Saturday, Sept. 13, at 10:30 p.m. All three of the first games will air across TNT, truTV and HBO Max.

In addition to its Big 12 coverage, TNT Sports will once again be the home to two First Round College Football Playoff games later this year. Last December, Penn State/SMU and Texas/Clemson delivered cable's two most-watched college football games at the time, and the most-watched college football games ever for TNT Sports.
