Texas Tech and SMU have moved the school’s 2013 football opener to Friday, Aug. 30 as an ESPN national telecast, officials from both schools announced today. The contest will kick off at 7 p.m. at Gerald J. Ford Stadium in Dallas.
The contest will be Tech’s first game under coach Kliff Kingsbury, who replaced Tommy Tuberville after the former coach took the Cincinnati job in December. Tech will be making its first Friday night TV appearance since 2002, when Kingsbury led the team to a 49-0 victory over New Mexico as the team’s starting quarterback on Sept. 27, 2002.
