Last year when the Red Raiders and Cougars met up, both teams were unknowns that were looking to get off on the right foot. Tech ended up winning, but both teams went on completely different paths as the Cougars didn’t lose to another team until the conference championship.
This year the teams are almost entirely on opposite sides of the college football world. Tech is rebuilding and the Cougars have a chance to come into the Big 12 on a high note as they're ranked 25th and looking to start the season 2-0.
Tech on the other hand would be ecstatic to beat the Cougars a second year in a row and go into another tough matchup with NC State next week with loads of momentum.
