A very much needed win for the Texas football program finally came on Nov. 29, the morning of Black Friday, against the in-State Big 12 foe Texas Tech Red Raiders. Head Texas football coach Tom Herman had more pressure on his shoulders than any other in the Big 12 coming into this Black Friday showdown against first-year head coach Matt Wells and his Red Raiders.
What the Texas Longhorns football program was able to do against Texas Tech is what the fans waited for most of the stretch run through Big 12 play. The Longhorns came into this game having lost two in a row and three of their last four.
