Week 5 Preview: Smith faces wounded former team in Lubbock

After starting the season 2-2 and losing their first Big 12 game at TDECU Stadium against TCU, the Cougars will travel to Lubbock in search of their first conference win.

The Cougars lost an overtime thriller last season against the Red Raiders 33-30 when current UH starting quarterback Donovan Smith led Texas Tech to victory, and will now face each other as conference opponents for the first time since 1995.

This will be the 35th matchup between both schools and while Texas Tech has been dominant in recent years, UH holds a series lead of 18-15-1.
