A tricky series for Texas football within the past decade came against the Texas Tech Red Raiders in conference play over the course of the past decade or two. Especially under the direction of former head coach Mike Leach, Texas Tech was a pretty stingy opponent for Texas football at times. That spanned back to last season even where the Red Raiders knocked off Texas on the Forty Acres.
Texas football owns the all-time series lead over Texas Tech dating all the way back to the first meeting in 1928. That edge for the Horns is at 50 wins to only 17 losses.
