LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) Texas Tech and Kansas State are both looking to snap losing skids when they play on Saturday.

The Wildcats have lost five straight - a first since 2008 - and want to avoid their first six-game skid since 1989.

The Red Raiders have dropped their last three after a promising start, eliciting memories from coach Kliff Kingsbury's first season - After starting 7-0, Texas Tech lost its final five games in 2013.

Even if they win their last two games, the Red Raiders (5-5, 2-5 Big 12) won't have a winning Big 12 record for a sixth straight season.

Both teams need the win to become bowl eligible: Kansas State (3-5, 0-5) requires wins in three of its final four games, while Texas Tech has to win one of its final two.
