In 2004, Graham Harrell redshirted during his first season at Texas Tech. The next season, as backup to quarterback Cody Hodges, Graham Harrell played in several games, racking up 422 passing yards. Graham Harrell started in every game of the 2006 season and, with his 4,555 passing yards, became the third-most sophomore passer in NCAA Division I-A history and first of the Big 12. The 2006 regular season, which included wins against the Texas A&M Aggies and the Oklahoma State Cowboys, ended with seven victories and five losses overall (4-4 in the Big 12) and an invitation to the 2006 Insight Bowl.

The bowl game, played in Tempe, Arizona, saw the Red Raiders struggle through the first three quarters, scoring only 14 points to the Minnesota Golden Gophers' 38. However, Tech's defense held Minnesota to zero points in the fourth quarter, while Harrell led the offense in scoring 24. In overtime, the Golden Gophers added only a field goal, but the Red Raiders scored a touchdown to win the game, 44–41, with the largest come-from-behind victory in NCAA FBS bowl history.

Prior to his junior season, Graham Harrell announced that he will continue to play for the Red Raiders for the remainder of his college career instead of leaving early for the 2008 NFL Draft. He reiterated this in December 2007.
