Longhorns Wire staff predictions for No. 22 Texas vs. Texas Tech

CJ Mumme, Joey Hickey and Cami Griffin give their predictions ahead of the anticipated Big 12 opener.

No. 22 Texas will travel to Lubbock to face Texas Tech in Week 4.

Second-year head coach Steve Sarkisian has never been to Lubbock, but he’s fully aware of the rowdy atmosphere that his team is about to experience. It’s Texas’ first away game of the season and how his team is able to handle adversity will play a significant role in this matchup.

Both teams enter the Big 12 opener with a 2-1 record. The Longhorns are the third-straight ranked opponent that the Red Raiders have had to face. Texas Tech defeated Houston in overtime two weeks ago and lost 27-14 to NC State last week.

Texas had an impressive showing against then-No. 1 Alabama in Week 2 and followed that up with a dominant second half performance last week to defeat UTSA 41-20.

Here’s a look at how each Longhorns Wire staff member feels the game could go this week.
