Game Day: Texas Tech Red Raiders @ Texas Longhorns

The Texas Longhorns (6-5, 4-4) are coming off back-to-back losses for the first time this season as they head into the Thanksgiving Week matchup against the Texas Tech Red Raiders (4-7, 2-5).  It’s been a season of under-performance and underachieving for Texas after a 10-win season last year, but a win against Texas Tech would cap the regular-season on a positive note.  With rumors of potential staff changes swirling on the 40 Acres, all eyes will be on how this football team executes the game-plan. Texas will honor 16 seniors who will play their final game at Darrell K. Royal – Texas Memorial Stadium prior to kickoff.

The Longhorns are 1-1 against the Red Raiders under Tom Herman and defeated Texas Tech 41-34 in Lubbock last season. Texas is 8-2 over their last 10 meetings with Tech, and 17-6 against the Red Raiders since the two schools joined the Big 12.
