Joey McGuire is optimistic the Texas Tech football team will have more weapons on the field of Galaxy Stadium for the Red Raiders' showdown against Houston.
Safety Brenden Jordan has wrapped his two-game suspension for a violation of team rules and will return to action on Friday night. As for a pair of injured starters, that's up to how the short week of preparation goes.
Outside linebacker Trey White (back) has missed the first two games of the season while tight end Terrance Carter Jr. was in a boot before the game and missed Texas Tech's 35-24 win over Oregon State.
"Trey and TC are trending in the right direction," McGuire said. "They both had good runs this morning. They're doing their recovery stuff right now. Trey will get a little bit individually this afternoon and then TC will get some scout periods this afternoon. Feeling good as long as we don't have any setbacks to getting those guys back."

NEW YORK, N.Y. — How can pain and joy, love and heartbreak, coexist, side by side, year after year? How could the worst day of your life lead to the best? How do you rebuild a life shattered in an instant?
One ballgame at a time, as it turns out.
On Friday night, the 25th anniversary of 9/11, Brielle Saracini and her husband Sean McGuire provided the highlight of an emotional pregame ceremony when they threw out the game's ceremonial first pitch. Both 37, they represent both the tragedy and the resolve of 9/11, the devastation of loss and the strength of resilience. Brielle's father Victor was the captain of United Flight 175, the plane which impacted the South Tower … where Sean's father, Patrick, worked on the 84th floor.
The two were just 10 years old when their fathers died. They met two years later at Camp Better Days, a camp established to help children who had lost a parent on 9/11, and were married on September 9, 2017. And on Friday night, they walked out on the field together — Brielle wearing a Derek Jeter jersey, Sean bravely wearing a Mike Piazza Mets one — showing that joy can come from even the most horrifying of days.
Brielle Saracini and Sean McGuire share a special moment in the Bronx.
As kids, they both lost their fathers on 9/11. They met in 2003, became friends first, then fell in love.
They married in 2017.

Starting safety Brenden Jordan was a late scratch from the Texas Tech football team's starting lineup against Abilene Christian, the team announcing he would miss the first two games of the season just before kickoff.
The initial news release said Jordan's absence was non-injury related reasons. Joey McGuire explained after the game that Jordan has been issued a suspension for a violation of team rules.
"He'll be back," McGuire said. "He's in good standing. He was on the sideline tonight and we expect him back. He won't play these first two games."
Jordan was the veteran returner in Tech's secondary, entering his fourth year with the program and had started 15-straight starts at the end of last season.
Peyton Morgan and Malik Esquerra started at the safety positions for Texas Tech in the 33-10 win over ACU.

Texas A&M's season opener vs. Missouri State kicks off on Saturday night, and after a productive preseason, coach Mike Elko, entering Year 3 at the helm after leading the Aggies to the College Football Playoff last season, is confident that his revamped roster is ready for battle, facing the new nine-game SEC schedule that features road tests vs. LSU, Missouri, Alabama, South Carolina, and Oklahoma.
Last week, Mike Elko's first in-season press conference revealed that a pair of redshirt freshmen will miss the season due to injury: running back Tiger Riden and defensive tackle Chace Sims were set to compete for reserve roles but will now have to wait until the 2027 offseason to compete for rotational roles.
Combined with former five-star wide receiver Jerome Myles and former four-star OL Nelson McGuire departing the program for unknown reasons, Elko's various media appearances on Wednesday did not include any new injury updates, which is obviously great news for the Aggies, who will heavily rely on their depth at every position to get through the nine-game conference schedule.
Most importantly, senior linebacker Daymion Sanford is on track to make his debut after suffering a lower-body injury to his fibula during the Maroon & White Game, as Elko stated that Sanford remains a "game-time decision" but is on track to play vs. Missouri State.
"Right now, yes. Probably still a little bit of a game-time decision. To ask me right now, I anticipate him being out there," Elko told TexAgs about Sanford on Monday.

In 1980, Duke was in the market for a new coach. Bill Foster was unhappy, and for some reason, thought that South Carolina was a solid move.
It wasn't: South Carolina had left the ACC on June 31, 1971 and was still an independent, a disastrous decision made by then-AD Paul Dietzel and basketball coach Frank McGuire. South Carolina joined the SEC in 1990, and has never really been much of a factor there.
Duke AD Tom ******* ers made what appeared to be a curious decision, hiring Army Coach Mike Krzyzewski, who had just come off of a 9-17 season.
Butters introduced Krzyzewski, calling him as "the brightest young coaching talent in America." Time would prove that ******* sment correct, but not many people believed it at the time. The Duke Chronicle actually ran a headline that said "This is not a Joke."
Coach K said that that he was coming from one great school to another, and that "Duke basketball is excellent, has been excellent, and we hope to continue that tradition."

Texas Tech football coach Joey McGuire started his response to reporters on Monday, Aug. 31 by noting his respect for Southern California coach Lincoln Riley, before then seemingly calling out the Trojans' fanbase for the small crowd at USC's Week 0 win over San Jose State.
The No. 14 Trojans defeated San Jose State 42-26 on Saturday, Aug. 29 in front of an almost-empty crowd at Los Angeles Memorial Stadium, due to unusual humidity in the area paired with low interest in a Week 0 game against a lower-tier Mountain West opponent.
REQUIRED READING: Where is everybody? USC football opens season to empty LA Coliseum
McGuire said that won't be the case when Texas Tech faces Abilene Christian on Sept. 5 in Lubbock, Texas.
"Not to take any shots, because I have a lot of respect for USC and Lincoln Riley, but it's really awesome to be playing in Lubbock, Texas, knowing we're going to be playing in front of 60,000 (fans)," McGuire said Monday. "It's going to be warm. It's going to be every bit as warm as it was Saturday.

The Texas Tech football program has been a major topic of discussion during the offseason.
Whether it was the whole Brendan Sorsby situation or spending a lot of money on its roster, the subjects got a lot of fans and other schools talking. People weren't happy with the way Texas Tech went about things, but according to head coach Joey McGuire, that is just fine.

He and the rest of the team will use the ammo directed at them to their advantage.
"We have a lot of stuff banked because there was a lot of universities in our conference, whether it be their AD or their president, or it was one coach that had a lot to say about the Sorsby situation. I always look for ***** ons to push. These ***** ons are going to be a lot easier to push because I can find a lot of comments from a lot of different people," McGuire said on SiriusXM. "It was directed at us, and I totally understand because he was part of us. He's still part of us. He was at our scrimmage, our first scrimmage. He's been out here twice since we started camp, and he's still a part of this family, and he always will be."

The Big Ten and SEC have passed rules saying players who have been under contract with NFL teams are not eligible to play in either conference. But the Big 12 has no such rule, and Texas Tech coach Joey McGuire says he'll look into adding a player who was in an NFL training camp but didn't make the final roster.
"We've been monitoring, for the last week or so, how we can add, if possible, somebody to make this team better," McGuire said. "We haven't called any NFL coaches. We haven't scouted any NFL players, that I think some teams have done, but we're definitely gonna look."
Two players who were cut by NFL teams this month, tight end Dae'Quan Wright and defensive tackle Zxavian Harris, had agreed to play for LSU this season, reuniting them with coach Lane Kiffin, who coached them both at Ole Miss last year. The new SEC rule would seem to preclude them from going to LSU, but wouldn't preclude Texas Tech from adding them — unless the Big 12 adopts the same rule. McGuire said he's unsure whether the Big 12 will do that.
"You know what's coming next: Those players are gonna sue the conference. So what do you do? I was checking with our guys today, what's the Big 12 gonna do? It's going to be interesting," McGuire said.
NCAA teams are allowed to have up to 105 players on their rosters. McGuire said he currently has one roster spot available and won't kick anyone off the team to make room for a new player, so Texas Tech would only add one former NFL player to the team.

Texas Tech head coach Joey McGuire was hoping to have quarterback Brendan Sorsby for the 2026 college football season, but that didn't happen.
Sorsby admitted to gambling, including placing bets on his own team while he was at Indiana. He placed thousands of bets over four years.
There were several legal battles throughout the year, but in the end, Sorsby and Texas Tech agreed to part ways. He will be eligible for the 2027 NFL Draft.

Despite that, McGuire still isn't happy that Sorsby has to sit out the 2026 college football season.

As a child, Paul Aaron can remember his mum shouting at him for cutting up her party dresses to make clothes for his Barbie dolls.
But decades later, his mother Ali is a lot more understanding as his coveted knitwear designs have been worn by some of the world's most famous faces including Kylie Jenner, Shakira and Zara Larsson.
Aaron, from Hooton, near Chester, said he had to pinch himself earlier this month when Hilary Duff wore his statement dress during her The Lucky Me Tour at New York's Madison Square Garden.
"It was crazy," said the 31-year-old, who loved watching the TV show Lizzie McGuire as a child where Duff plays the main character.
His fashion career began as a student at Central Saint Martins in London where he created a dress by knitting bin bags together.

Last-minute mishap: Sporting Club Jacksonville men's soccer experienced another heartbreaker at the finish, when a deflected header rebounded off defender Antonio Gomez and into his own net in stoppage time to give Indy Eleven a 1-0 victory in the USL Championship on Aug. 15.
Painful finish: Sporting Jax (1-14-5) looked on course for a tie until the 92nd minute. Indy's Cam Lindley lofted a cross from the left wing, Paco Craig headed it from a tight angle and the loose ball ricocheted off Gomez and into the net past Jacksonville goalkeeper Jake McGuire.
Blake back in town: Jack Blake, who played for the Jacksonville Armada in the North American Soccer League in 2017, played all 90 minutes in midfield for Indy.
Quick free kicks: Sporting Jax was outshot 19-5 and never managed to take an official shot from inside the penalty area. … Sporting Jax midfielder Raheem Somersall left the game due to injury in the 29th minute, replaced by Harvey Neville. … Canadian defender Marcus Godinho made his first start for the club. … Sporting Jax has now gone 351 minutes without scoring, since Ahmad Al-Qaq's ninth-minute goal on July 18.
Up next: Sporting Jax next plays 8 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 22 against the Birmingham Legion at Protective Stadium in Birmingham, Ala.

The Texas Tech football team is in the middle of the preseason camp, but the roster may not necessarily be finalized.
Recent movement in the eligibility **** e, primarily focused on basketball right now, has opened the door for Class of 2022 recruits to have an additional year to play their respective sports. The Texas Tech men's basketball team has benefitted from this, adding Darrion Williams and Jamichael Stillwell recently, so there's an opportunity for Joey McGuire to add a piece or two to the football roster.
McGuire hasn't ruled out bringing in somebody else before the start of the season, though there are a number of factors to consider before doing so.
"I don't think there's necessarily a spot," McGuire said, "(James) Blanchard and I, not only just daily, we're talking throughout the day of what everybody's hearing. ..."
While there are several cases going on at the same time, the main one centers in Colorado, where a judge ruled the entire 2022 class can play this season if they want. However, that judge clarified that players who didn't enter the transfer portal during that sport's window (for football, it came in January) then their only option is to return to their previous school.

Offensive tackle Jacob Ponton and defensive tackle Mateen Ibirogba got tangled up and went to the turf during a recent Texas Tech football practice. The behemoths toppled, and because Will Hammond was in the vicinity, the Tech quarterback went down, too.
Quarterbacks aren't supposed to get hit in practice, much less hit the ground.
"Not going to lie," Tech coach Joey McGuire said. "I was holding my breath, but Will popped up and Mike (Ramirez), our head trainer, goes, 'I didn't have that on my bingo card, the first time Will would hit the ground is in this group.'"

Robert Carradine's family is suing over his suicide, accusing a University of California Los Angeles facility of failing to prevent his death.
The actor's estate is suing the Regents of the University of California for wrongful death and elder abuse, after the "Revenge of the Nerds" star died by suicide, according to an Aug. 7 lawsuit obtained by TheWrap on Sunday, Aug. 9.
The "Lizzie McGuire" actor, who battled bipolar disorder for nearly two decades, checked himself into a UCLA neuropsychiatric hospital in January after experiencing suicidal ideation, according to a medical examiner's report previously obtained by USA TODAY. His family's lawsuit states that Carradine felt "relieved to be hospitalized" in UCLA's psychiatric units and hoped treatment would allow him to rest and "reduce his anxiety."

Cole Caufield's 51-goal breakout season has changed expectations around the Montreal Canadiens winger. NHL Network ***** yst Mike Rupp now believes the 25-year-old has a realistic path to 60 goals.
Caufield entered NHL Network's Top Wings Right Now list at No. 9 after producing 51 goals during the 2025-26 season. That marked his first 50-goal campaign and helped establish him among the league's top scoring threats.

Rupp pointed to Caufield's shooting ability as the main reason behind his scoring ceiling. "He is a stop-and-pop type shooter where he could just kind of wind up and let her rip," Rupp said.
"He could change the angle of the shot," Rupp added. "He's got a great release, but probably one of the cleanest, prettiest releases I think at heart."

One of Joey McGuire's bold statements that backfired came early in his tenure when he said his 2023 Texas Tech football team would be two touchdowns better than his 2022 team that finished 8-5. Didn't work out that way. The 2023 team wound up with a worse record by one game.
So when McGuire was gushing about his 2026 team on Thursday, Aug. 6, he was playfully asked who'd win if the current Red Raiders played his Big 12 champions from last year.
McGuire, well aware of the callback to three years ago, laughed and wouldn't go there.
"I'm not going to say that," he answered, "because I said that year 2 and then we had more injuries than I've been part of since 2012. Literally, those two years, 2012 and my second year here, 2023, I've never had so many injuries, so I'm going to try to stay away from that so we stay healthy."

Big Bad Wolff bites Sporting Jax: Tyler Wolff scored a hat trick and host Sacramento Republic FC punished another sloppy defensive performance from Sporting Club Jacksonville, romping to a 5-0 shutout in USL Championship men's soccer on Aug. 1 at Heart Health Park.
Miscues spoil Sporting Jax night: Wolff, the son of two-time World Cup forward Josh Wolff, scored his first goal in the seventh minute after a Sporting Jax turnover at the edge of the penalty area. He scored his second on a 40th-minute breakaway and his third in the 69th minute following another giveaway in defense.
Second-generation hat trick: It's not the Wolff family's first hat trick against Jacksonville. On July 11, 1998, Josh Wolff scored all three visiting goals for U.S. Pro-40 Select, a short-lived experimental team made up of young players from across Major League Soccer squads, in a 3-2 win over the A-League's Jacksonville Cyclones at Mandarin High School.
Big night for Rodriguez: Midfielder Memo Rodriguez supplied three ******* ists for Sacramento (7-4-5), including corner kick deliveries leading to headed goals from Jared Timmer and Lee Desmond before halftime.
Quick free kicks: Sacramento outshot Sporting Jax (1-13-5) 19-1 and controlled 66 percent of possession. … Former United States men's national team defender Ventura Alvarado made his first start for Sporting Jax, playing the first 60 minutes, and Brazilian midfielder Jean Mota appeared for the last 13 minutes in his club debut. … With Ryan Edwards out, goalkeeper Jake McGuire served as Sporting Jax captain. … Alvarado, Harvey Neville, Emil Jaaskelainen and Jordan Rossiter all received yellow cards for Sporting Jax.

The recent entry of Elon Musk's ******* eX (SPCX) into public markets has garnered investment interest on Capitol Hill, with half a dozen lawmakers taking stakes in the company, according to recently disclosed transactions.
The first apparent purchase came from Rep. Lisa McClain, a Republican and member of House Speaker Mike Johnson's leadership team. Her husband purchased between $100,000 and $250,000 in Musk's xAI in December 2025, before it was folded into ******* eX in February, giving the lawmaker and her family early exposure to the public debut on June 12.
SpaceX's initial public offering then saw five more lawmakers make purchases, according to the disclosures.
Rep. John James, a Michigan Republican, was first in as his wife bought between $15,000 and $50,000 worth of stock on the day of the IPO.
Three more GOP lawmakers — Rep. Daniel Meuser of Pennsylvania, William Timmons of South Carolina, and John McGuire of Virginia — obtained shares three days later.

exas Tech and Colorado may be headed for another Big 12 fight, but the softest moment this week came off the field. Deion Sanders Jr. publicly thanked Joey McGuire for a gesture that stretched back years, long before the Texas Tech coach signed his $51.9 million extension.
"From Cedar Hill to Texas Tech – it's a beautiful thing!" Deion Sanders Jr. posted on X, tagging Joey McGuire. "I asked Coach for help expanding; he told me I could come record at Texas Tech during spring workouts and etc… I never got around to it, but thank you for always looking out for me since I was 14."
Joey McGuire wasn't simply another coach offering a favor to Deion Sanders' oldest son. He has known the Sanders family for well over a decade. Before he arrived in Lubbock, the 54-year-old coach built Cedar Hill High School into one of Texas's powerhouse football programs during a remarkable 14-year run that produced three state championships.
During that stretch, Joey McGuire coached Deion Sanders Jr. as a freshman in 2009 before he transferred schools. The football partnership lasted only one season, but the relationship never disappeared. Today, Bucky is best known as the driving force behind Well Off Media, the behind-the-scenes platform that has become almost inseparable from the Sanders family brand.
It started as a YouTube channel where Deion Sanders Jr. filmed everyday life around his family. Now it's much bigger than that. Well Off Media has grown into a major name in college football content. It's no longer just practice clips and locker-room videos. The company has brought in more editors and videographers, landed a partnership with Nike, and is steadily pushing into bigger projects across the sports world.

Curt Cignetti doesn't smile or laugh a lot along the sideline, with his fists often attached to his hips. But not many college football fans can work up a great hatred for him.
The national champion Indiana football coach joined the "Up and Adams" podcast, and host Kay Adams jokingly scolded him for place eighth on a recent survey of hated college football coaches.
Cignetti offered a potential reason: "Maybe I'm so cuddly and likable."
The Rotowire poll of fans listed LSU's Lane Kiffin as the most hated coach. Also "more hated" are Colorado's Deion Sanders, Clemson's Dabo Swinney, USC's Lincoln Riley, Ohio State's Ryan Day, Georgia's Kirby Smart and Miami's Mario Cristobal.
Cignetti is apparently slightly more hated than North Carolina's Bill Belichick and Texas Tech's Joey McGuire.

Texas Tech drew quite a bit of ire from the wider college football world over its handling of the Brendan Sorsby situation this offseason.
The transfer quarterback addition was ruled permanently ineligible after he admitted to placing more than $90,000 in sports bets, including wagers on his own team during his time at Indiana. He later sued the NCAA and received an injunction to play this fall.
The Red Raiders initially supported Sorsby's efforts, but as the Big 12 threatened legal action against the school, Sorsby ultimately left the program and withdrew his lawsuit. Speaking to CBS Sports' Richard Johnson at Big 12 media days this week, coach Joey McGuire said he may have acted differently had he been able to foresee the response to the Sorsby saga.
"If I would have been able to have a crystal ball and see in the future, as far as would they have had a supplemental draft, I would have probably said (earlier), 'Brendan, let's don't do this. Go to the supplemental draft,'" McGuire said.
McGuire acknowledged that the backlash from other universities in the Big 12 was stronger than expected, and he also said Texas Tech likely wouldn't have added Sorsby in the first place were it not for the fact that Will Hammond, a backup who started two games last season, was recovering from a torn ACL.

PEKIN — Not once, but twice, Keota was one pitch away from dashing the state tournament dreams of the Pekin baseball team on Tuesday.

The Panthers scored five runs in the final inning with two outs, erasing the 4-1 lead that the Eagles carried into the bottom of the seventh.
Pekin (17-3) heads to Moravia for the Class 1A, District 14 championship game on Saturday. The Mohawks earned a 1-0 lead over the Panthers back on May 27.

One of the NFL’s most dominant wide receivers over the past decade has been former Kansas City Chiefs and Miami Dolphins star Tyreek Hill. Hill built his reputation on extraordinary speed, elite acceleration, and ultra-reliable hands. His trajectory became clear during his rookie season, and at one point, he appeared well on his way to a future enshrinement in Canton, Ohio.
However, few could have imagined his career taking such a dramatic turn just four weeks into the 2025 NFL season. Hill suffered a gruesome knee injury that not only put his 2026 season in doubt but also sparked serious speculation that his career could be in jeopardy.
MORE: Joey McGuire confirms Brendan Sorsby will remain around Texas Tech program
A recent report from NFL insider James Palmer revealed that Hill underwent surgery to repair his ACL and multiple other knee ligaments after suffering a torn ACL and dislocated knee in Week 4 of the 2025 season. Palmer described the possibility of Hill playing in 2026 as “wishful thinking.”
This is certainly not how Hill envisioned this chapter of his career ending. He is 32 years old and will turn 33 next year. Although he still possesses excellent hands and entered the injury with blazing speed, his age and the lengthy recovery process could diminish the traits that have made him such a special player.

Harrisburg (Pa.) Bishop McDevitt tight end prospect Zayden Smith tells Rivals he has committed to Texas Tech.
The 6-foot-5, 205-pound Smith is currently in Lubbock for his official visit and chose to play for head coach Joey McGuire and the Red Raiders over Penn State among others.
“When I came down here for the unofficial visit I liked the area and how well the coaches invited me in and how friendly they are and hospitality and everything I felt it was the right place for me,” Smith said.
“Coach McGuire, I think he’s a really cool guy. Really friendly. I think he’s a good coach, leading them to a Big 12 championship last year.”
Over the last two seasons Smith turned 56 receptions into 810 yards and 10 touchdowns. He also has 67 tackles and four interceptions.

No football program in the country has been under the spotlight more this offseason than Texas Tech. The Red Raiders have a little bit of closure with the Brendan Sorsby saga and are moving on to build the best roster they can for the future.
The Lubbock Avalanche-Journal reports that the school has received a 2027 commitment from Hunter Haug, a four-star safety who is playing his high school football for Smithson Valley in-state.
It's be interesting to see how the Red Raiders and head coach Joey McGuire use Haug once he gets to campus after his high school career ends. He posted 57 tackles and two forced fumbles as a defensive back, but has also been a weapon on offense.
Haug recorded 1,156 yards and 16 touchdowns on offense for Smithson Valley in 2025.

The Brendan Sorsby drama has been one of the main tunes floating around college football’s airwaves in recent weeks. Despite past gambling violations that were cited against Sorsby by the NCAA, which ruled Sorsby ineligible to play in 2026 with Texas Tech, a Lubbock judge recently granted Texas Tech’s signal-caller a temporary injunction against the ruling.
What comes next, according to Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian?
Per his sense of humor noted in Sports Illustrated, Sarkisian said, “[Given] the way these injunctions are going, Pat Mahomes might be playing quarterback for Texas Tech again before [Texas Tech head coach Joey McGuire is] done.”
