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.

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

Sonny Dykes and the TCU Horned Frogs proved road warriors last weekend after a 13-7 victory in Salt Lake City against the Utah Utes. The narrow win is much in part due to the stellar defense employed by Andy Avalos, which held the Utes to just 267 total yards.

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.

Jack Bech and the TCU Horned Frogs (4-3) will take on Tahj Brooks and the Texas Tech Red Raiders (5-2) on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. ET, in a battle featuring a pair of the brightest stars in college football on offense.
