The Texas Tech Red Raiders are headed to Houston to face off against the Cougars in a Saturday morning matchup that effectively renews a historic series between former conference opponents. Although not viewed as rivals, the teams have squared off dozens of times over the years, resulting in mixed outcomes for both sides.
Houston and Tech have met 30 times on the gridiron dating back to 1951 when the Cougars kicked things off with a 6-0 victory. Luckily for all, the ensuing meetings entailed more scoring — a theme that has persisted ever since.
The Cougars are 18-11-1 against the Red Raiders, but the record does not tell the full story.
