No. 22 Texas makes the trip to Lubbock this weekend for a matchup against Texas Tech.
Both teams enter with identical 2-1 records through three nonconference games. Texas dropped a nail biter to No. 1 Alabama in between two double-digit wins over UL Monroe and UTSA. Texas Tech is coming off a road loss to No. 12 NC State but won an impressive overtime game against a top 25 Houston squad in Week 2.
Texas’ offense put up historic numbers against the Red Raiders a season ago. The Longhorns ran Texas Tech out of DKR by a final score of 70-35.
New Texas Tech head coach Joey McGuire has his team looking much improved early on this season. The new-look Red Raiders and rowdy environment in Lubbock will be no easy task for Steve Sarkisian and the Longhorns.
Here is a look at five Longhorns to keep an eye on in Texas’ Big 12 opener vs. Texas Tech on Saturday.
