The Saddle Trophy that goes to the winner of this rivalry game. TCU will try to win consecutive Big 12 games for the first time since its undefeated 2022 regular season. The Red Raiders are looking to bounce back from their first Big 12 loss, a surprising 24-point setback at home to Baylor, which had lost its first three conference games.

TCU may have saved its season with a road win against Utah and a path to a bowl game is much clearer now. However, the Red Raiders will come into Saturday’s game motivated to avoid another conference loss and to stay in the race for a slot in the Big 12 title game.

Coming off a drubbing at home against Baylor, Texas Tech open a two-game road trip starting against TCU on Saturday.
