Picked as the preseason favorite to win the Big 12, the Red Raiders opened the season with wins over Abilene Christian<\/a> (33-10) and Oregon State<\/a> (35-24). \u2026 Quarterback Will Hammond, who is coming off a ACL injury, has thrown for 487 yards but only two touchdowns to begin the season. Tech has used two quarterbacks with Thomas Castellanos, a Florida State transfer, throwing a touchdown in his only pass attempt in Week 2. \u2026\u00a0
This is the first Friday night regular-season game at home<\/a> for the Red Raiders since 1941. \u2026 Tech has won nine straight home games, holding opponents to 18 points or fewer each time. \u2026 Texas Tech is 13th nationally, allowing 65 rushing yards per game. UH enters the game seventh nationally in rushing with 308 yards per game. \u2026 Tech features a productive combo in the backfield with J\u2019Koby Williams and Cameron Dickey, who combined for nearly 2,000 yards and 20 touchdowns last season. Williams ran for 109 yards and two touchdowns in last year\u2019s meeting. \u2026 Cornerback Amier Boyd, who had an interception against Oregon State, has been ruled out due to injury. Tight end Terrance Carter Jr. and linebacker Trey White are listed as questionable on the Big 12 injury report. White, who had 19 sacks the past two seasons at San Diego State, has yet to play this season. Defensive lineman A.J. Holmes, the Big 12 preseason defensive player of the year, began his college career at Houston.<\/p>\n

Tech has won seven in a row and 12 of the past 13 meetings in the series. UH\u2019s last win in Lubbock was 51-35 in 1990.<\/p>\n
