Texas Tech Red Raiders vs. Houston Cougars is Toughest Matchup

The Texas Tech Red Raiders are preparing for the 2022-23 season. They play Murray State Racers in the first game. Sports Illustrated's toughest game of the season is the Houston Cougars at home in Week 2. Houston won the last meeting 38-21. The Cougar's last season finished 12-1 and they were the No. 4 seed in College Football Playoff.

Texas Tech Red Raiders play Houston Cougars in the season opener. The team will then play two-straight Big 12 road games against Kansas State Wildcats and Oklahoma State Cowboys. They will also play against N.C. State Wolfpack in Week 3.

Texas Tech Red Raiders play a tough schedule before their bye week. They play Murray State, Houston, NC State and Texas. Houston is a top-25 team and return a lot of talent from a 12-win team a season ago.
