If Texas wins, the Longhorns will be the home team in the Big 12 championship game and stay in contention for the four-team College Football Playoff. They would fall out of the playoff conversation with a loss, but likely would still get into the conference title game despite a number of potentially complicated tiebreaking scenarios. Texas Tech has a three-game winning streak.

Texas Tech RB Tahj Brooks ran for a career-best 182 yards last week against UCF and is second in the Big 12 with 122.5 yards per game.

The Longhorns have allowed only six scores on the ground this season, and their last five opponents finished under 100 yards rushing.

Texas: True freshman RB CJ Baxter ran for 117 yards against Iowa State, the first Longhorns' game since 1,000-yard rusher Jonathon Brooks tore the ACL in his right knee.

Brooks then had four consecutive 100-yard games to take over as the starter.
