LUBBOCK — For the second consecutive season, UH football dropped a heartbreaker to Texas Tech, falling 33-30 in double overtime on Saturday afternoon at Jones AT&T Stadium and extending the Cougars’ losing streak to five against the Red Raiders.
It was Houston’s second time going to multiple extra periods this year after UTSA took UH to triple overtime just last week, a game where the Cougars came out on top.
Missed tackles, which was a problem for the UH defense in Week 1 against UTSA, continued to plague the Cougars, leading to multiple big plays by the Red Raiders’ offense.
