ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥'s first-ever conference home game as a Big 12 team will be a late-night matchup. The Big 12 announced Monday morning ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥'s home contest against the Texas Tech Red Raiders will kick off on Saturday, Oct. 5 at 8 p.m. on Fox.Â
The ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥-Texas Tech game is so far the latest game for the Wildcats this season, but the UA's contest against Houston on Friday, Nov. 15 in ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ will start at 8:15 p.m. on FS1.Â
ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥'s battle with Texas Tech will also be the second game on Fox this season. The Wildcats also played against Kansas State on Fox. ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ has already played on ESPN twice this season.Â
The UA most recently played Texas Tech in 2019, beating the Red Raiders 28-14, in the first — and ultimately only — game of an originally planned home-and-home series; the game in 2020 was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Texas Tech and ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ were previously Border Conference rivals; ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ is 5-26-2 all-time against TTU.
