No. 13 Texas Tech opens Big 12 title defense vs. No. 22 Houston, and league goes international again
The Red Raiders open conference play as reigning Big 12 champions, while Arizona State and Kansas meet in the league’s third international game in two seasons.
On Friday, the reigning Big 12 champion Texas Tech hosts Houston in a conference opener, seeking to extend its nine-game home winning streak.
Both teams enter undefeated after each previously defeating Oregon State, while the Cougars aim to build on their 10-win season from last year.
Defensively, the Red Raiders have allowed no more than 17 points in any of their last nine home games, establishing a fortress-like advantage.
Arizona State and Kansas travel to London for Saturday's game at historic Wembley Stadium, marking the first college football game ever played at the venue.
This international contest marks the Big 12's third such game in two seasons, following back-to-back season openers held in Ireland.
