UH at Texas Tech: How to watch, date, time, TV channel, what to know - houstonchronicle.com

The Red Raiders sit at 2-0 and enter riding some momentum after a win over Oregon last week. Houston comes in ranked and hungry, but history leans Tech's way. Texas Tech leads the all-time series 19-16-1, and the last meeting wasn't close. Tech beat Houston 35-11 back in October at TDECU Stadium, a game that showed just how lopsided this matchup can get when the Red Raiders click.

Fans who can't make it to Galaxy Stadium have plenty of ways to watch. Fox carries the broadcast with Tim Brando on play-by-play, Devin Gardner breaking down the action, and Josh Sims reporting from the sideline. On radio, KPRC 950 AM has Kevin Eschenfelder calling the game with analyst Ted Pardee and sideline reporter Jeremy Branham, plus a pregame show from Matt Thomas starting at 6 p.m., an hour before kickoff. Streaming options include The Varsity Network app and SiriusXM on channels 138 or 199.

For Lubbock, this is the kind of Friday night that shuts down 19th Street traffic and fills every bar within walking distance of campus. A ranked matchup against a ranked opponent in a conference opener doesn't happen every week. Whether that gap holds up on home turf is the real question Friday night answers.
