The Houston–Texas Tech football rivalry is a college football rivalry between the Cougars from Houston and The Red Raiders from Texas Tech. The rivalry dates back to 1951 from the old Southwest Conference.[1][2]

Series history

Historically, Texas Tech and Houston are original rivals, playing every year from 1976 to 1995 when both schools were part of the now-defunct Southwest Conference. The two teams have had numerous close games over their history, with 16 of the first 34 matchups being decided by single digits and a tie in 1987.[3] On September 4, 2021, the two met again to play the Texas Kickoff game at NRG Stadium.[4] After the game, several fans broke out into a fight in the stands.[5]

After having received an invitation in September 2021, Houston announced that they would join the Big 12 Conference on July 1, 2023, which meant that the rivalry would resume as a conference game for the first time since the breakup of the Southwest Conference.[6]
