The 2013 Texas Tech Red Raiders football team represented Texas Tech University in the 2013 NCAA Division I FBS football season as members of the Big 12 Conference. Kliff Kingsbury led the Red Raiders in his first season as the program's fifteenth head coach. The Red Raiders played home games on the university's campus in Lubbock, Texas at Jones AT&T Stadium.
At the end of the 2012 regular season, Head coach Tommy Tuberville resigned to take the same position with the Cincinnati Bearcats. Former Red Raider quarterback, Houston Cougars offensive coordinator, and Texas A&M Aggies offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury was hired as the new head coach prior to the 2013 season.
Following the conclusion of the regular season, the Associated Press named tight end Jace Amaro, offensive tackle Le'Raven Clark, and linebacker Will Smith to their first team selections. Defensive tackle Kerry Hyder and wide receiver Eric Ward were selected for the second team. [2] Jace Amaro additionally earned Unanimous All-American honors from many organizations and broke the single season tight end receiving yards record in a 37–23 upset over #14 Arizona State in the 2013 Holiday Bowl. Despite having two true freshman quarterbacks start every game, the Red Raiders ended the season as the number-two-ranked passing offense in the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) with 392.8 yards per game, just behind Fresno State's 394.8 yards per game.

In a Thursday night nationally televised game, the 2–0 Red Raiders faced the 1–1 Texas Christian University Horned Frogs in the opening Big 12 game for both schools. Lightning near Jones AT&T Stadium forced a delay in the kickoff for the second straight game. Texas Tech got in the scoring column first with a touchdown pass from Baker Mayfield to Kenny Williams, who took the ball 50 yards down the right sideline for the score. Texas Tech's Ryan Bustin added a 39-yard field goal to make the score 10–0 in the first quarter. Neither team scored in the second quarter. TCU got a field goal in the third quarter, and tied the score midway through the fourth quarter on a touchdown run by B.J. Catalon. An apparent punt return for a touchdown by TCU's Brandon Carter was taken away earlier in the fourth quarter after officials ruled that he had signaled a fair catch on the play. Mayfield suffered a leg injury in the second half, and Davis Webb came in at quarterback for the Red Raiders with the score tied late in the game. Webb threw what looked to be a go-ahead touchdown pass to DeAndre Washington, but officials ruled that Washington dropped the ball just short of the goal line and the touchdown was taken off the scoreboard. Webb then threw a perfect 19-yard touchdown pass to Bradley Marquez to give the Red Raiders a 17–10 lead with 3:48 remaining. Texas Tech's defense forced TCU to punt on their next possession, and the Red Raiders drove into scoring position for Ryan Bustin to add a 37-yard field goal to make the final score 20–10. Mayfield threw for 216 yards before his injury, but was intercepted three times. Jace Amaro caught 9 passes for 97 yards during the Texas Tech victory. A student attendance record of 16,092 was set during the TCU game, breaking the record of 14,915 set just one week earlier, with an overall attendance of 58,701 for the game. [10] Texas Tech made its debut into the Associated Press Top 25 following the win over the Horned Frogs, who were playing with star defensive end Devonte Fields, who had been suspended for parts of the first two games.

Undefeated and ranked #16 by the Associated Press, the Red Raiders traveled to Morgantown to face 3–3 West Virginia. The matchup was a reunion of sorts, as West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen was an assistant at Texas Tech from 2000 to 2007, during the quarterback tenure of Kliff Kingsbury (1999–2002). The Red Raiders got out to a quick 13–0 lead, with a pair of field goals by Ryan Bustin and a 10-yard touchdown pass from Davis Webb to Jace Amaro. The Mountaineers then went on a 27–3 scoring run, taking a 27–16 lead in the third quarter. Texas Tech faced a crucial third down play in the third quarter at the West Virginia 43-yard line, and Webb connected with Jace Amaro for a 32-yard gain to put Texas Tech deep in Mountaineer territory. Kenny Williams completed the drive with a touchdown run to pull Texas Tech to within 27–23. Texas Tech took the lead in the fourth quarter on another touchdown run by Kenny Williams, and the Red Raiders extended their lead to 37–27 on a touchdown pass from Webb to Amaro on their final possession to put the game away. Webb ended up breaking Texas Tech's freshman passing record for a single game with 462 yards, hitting 36 of 50 passes for two touchdowns and no interceptions. Texas Tech's defense totally shut down the Mountaineer offense in the fourth quarter, forcing the Mountaineers to punt on four straight possessions in the second half. [15] After starting the season 7–0, this would be the last game the Red Raiders would win in the 2013 regular season. After their win, this would be the highest rank for Texas Tech in the 2013 season at #10 in both the AP and BCS overall standings and #9 in the USA Today coaches poll. [16]

After losing their last five games of the regular season, the Red Raiders were expected to lose to the Sun Devils. ESPN broadcasts during 2013 bowl games included a prediction that Texas Tech would lose by 22 points, based on computer models. Las Vegas odds makers also favored an Arizona State victory by a line of up to 14 points. In an unexpected turn, Texas Tech got the upset and won their first game since October 19 against West Virginia. Davis Webb threw for 403 yards and tied the Holiday Bowl record with four touchdown passes.
The Red Raiders opened the scoring on a 1-yard touchdown pass from Webb to Rodney Hall on their first possession, capping a 77-yard drive. It was Hall's first catch of the year from his fullback position. Webb also threw two first-half touchdown passes to Jakeem Grant and a touchdown pass to Bradley Marquez as the Red Raiders opened a 27–13 halftime lead. The Sun Devils scored on their opening possession of the second half to pull within one touchdown at 27–20, but the Red Raiders struck back immediately when freshman Reginald Davis ran back the ensuing kickoff 90 yards for a touchdown. Ryan Bustin's 23-yard field goal late in the third quarter extended Texas Tech's lead to 37–20. Arizona State added a field goal in the fourth quarter to make it 37–23, but Texas Tech cornerback Justis Nelson intercepted a Sun Devil pass late in the quarter to end Arizona State's final scoring threat. [19]
The Red Raiders finished their 2013 season with an 8–5 record.
