Isn’t it refreshing to finally have an opponent to scout? And this week sees the Texas Tech football program take on a rather familiar foe in the Houston Cougars.

This will be the 35th edition of this series, which dates back to 1951. Overall, the Cougars hold an 18-13-1 edge.

But most of that series advantage was built in the late 1970s and early 1980s when the two teams were conference foes.
