Texas vs Texas Tech football history: H2H, Records, and more
The Texas vs Texas Tech football rivalry is always interesting as the winner receives the other school's chancellor's sterling silver boot spurs. However, with the Texas Longhorns heading to the Southeastern Conference next season, this annual tradition may be gone.
The seventh-ranked Texas Longhorns (10-1, 7-1 in Big 12) need to show dominance in this game if they want to have a chance to be in the College Football Playoff or even a Big 12 Conference Championship Game. A loss here would mean things would need to fall their way in the tiebreakers to ensure the Big 12 Title Game appearance.
The Texas Tech Red Raiders (6-5, 5-3) are looking to end the season strong as they prepare for a bowl game and are on a three-game winning streak.
With the weather at DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium expected not to play a factor in the 2023 edition of this rivalry, it is a perfect time to discuss some of the history of this matchup. Let's take a look at some of the more memorable games from the Texas Longhorns vs Texas Tech Red Raiders games.
