There is no opponent more familiar to the Texas Tech football program than the Baylor Bears. Tech has played the Bears 76 times, more than any other opponent, holding a 38-37-1 edge. Texas Tech has won the last two meetings and if history is any indication, it could be in for a few more wins over the Bears because long winning streaks by both schools have defined this series.
The first times the schools met was in 1929, a 34-0 Baylor win in Waco. The teams would split the first six games in the series from 1929-1942 and play to a tie 7-7 in 1945.
