Current Records: Texas 6-5; Texas Tech 4-7

What to Know

After two games on the road, the Texas Longhorns are heading back home. Texas and the Texas Tech Red Raiders will face off in a Big 12 battle at noon ET on Friday at Darrell K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium/Jamail Field. Texas is the favorite in this one, with an expected 9.5-point margin of victory.

The Longhorns came up short against the Baylor Bears last week, falling 24-10. Texas' defeat came about despite a quality game from RB Keaontay Ingram, who picked up 86 yards on the ground on seven carries.

Meanwhile, it was close but no cigar for Texas Tech as they fell 30-27 to the Kansas State Wildcats. Texas Tech's loss shouldn't obscure the performances of QB Jett Duffey, who accumulated 334 passing yards and picked up 57 yards on the ground on nine carries, and WR RJ Turner, who caught seven passes for 141 yards and one TD. Duffey's 58-yard touchdown toss to Turner in the fourth quarter made for one of the most memorable moments of the night.

With the two teams each stumbling in off of a loss, both will be hungry for the victory. Two defensive stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: Texas is seventh worst in the nation in passing yards allowed per game, with 298 on average. Texas Tech have had an even harder time: they are stumbling into the contest with the fifth most passing yards allowed per game in the nation, having given up 304.2 on average. Look for both offensives to try attacking early to give their own defense a break.
