Previewing Texas vs Texas Tech: Horns need to slow down Red Raiders rushing attack
Michael C. Johnson-USA TODAY Sports The Texas Longhorns (2-1) begin conference play against the undefeated Texas Tech Red Raiders (3-0) on Saturday at Darrel K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium.
The good news for Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian is that usually the matchups between Texas and Tech produce low-scoring, low-stress, boring football games.
Oh, wait. It’s never like that!
Since 2015, every game except the Longhorns 49-24 victory in 2019 has ended in a one-score game. Texas has also scored at least 30 points in all but ONE GAME against Tech since 2012, including last year’s (thrilling?) 63-56 overtime victory in Lubbock.
