Texas Tech hits the road for the first time this season when it faces Houston. A win would move the Red Raiders to 3-0 heading into Big 12 play. Here are five things Texas Tech fans should know about the Cougars.
1. Major Applewhite is in charge
The Tom Herman era ended after last season when Herman left to take the job at the University of Texas. Major Applewhite took over as Houston's coach in December after spending two seasons as Herman's offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.
Applewhite's tenure has begun on a positive note, with the Cougars getting off to a 2-0 start.
