This weekend the Big 12 Championship is happening at AT&T Stadium and members of Texas Tech were asked what it was like playing in the stadium as a Texas kid in high school.

The last time Texas Tech and BYU met up was on November 8th. Tech dominated with a 29-7 win. This time the game is for the Big 12 Championship and is in a much bigger venue. For the ninth consecutive year, the Big 12 Championship will be held at AT&T Stadium, home to the Dallas Cowboys.

The last time Tech played there was in 2018 for a match up against Baylor. No current Red Raiders have played at AT&T Stadium for Tech. However, many of them as high school athletes got to compete there in the high school playoffs. Including Jacob Rodriquez when he was a Rider Raider.

Jacob Rodriquez Talks About Playing at AT&T Stadium Again

Jacob talked about the last time he played in Arlington and that would be in the 2018 State Championship game. Jacob says it is a great place to play, but he did get beat terribly the last time he was there. I was curious to see if Jacob had any highlights and here is what DFW Inside High School Sports has.

Yeah, Jacob wants to forget this one, right before the half he threw an interception that got returned 100 yards for a touchdown. The good news is that I don't think Jacob will be doing a lot of throwing on Saturday since he now plays linebacker. Tech has been using him on a few goal line and two point conversion attempts this year on offense.

Hopefully Jacob is the one picking one off for 100 yards this time around.
