Texas and Texas Tech have a storied history dating back to 1928.
The Longhorns lead the series 53-17, but there have been some heartbreaking losses to the Red Raiders over the years. Primarily in 2008, when wide receiver Michael Crabtree famously scurried into the end zone to defeat No. 1 Texas in the final seconds.
Texas has also had to deal with talented Texas Tech quarterback Patrick Mahomes from 2014-2016, who is now widely considered the top NFL player. Mahomes got the best of the Longhorns in the 2015 matchup, 48-45. That was the Red Raiders first victory in Austin since 1997.
Since 1960, the two programs have faced off annually as members of the Southwest Conference and Big 12 Conference.
As we prepare for Texas to host Texas Tech in Week 4 of the 2021 college football season, let’s take a quick walk down memory lane.
