The Arkansas–Texas Tech football rivalry is a college football rivalry[2] game between the Razorbacks of the University of Arkansas and the Red RaidersofTexas Tech University.[3]
The two schools first met in 1957, with Arkansas defeating Texas Tech by a score of 47–26 in Little Rock, Arkansas.[4] Arkansas won the first nine games in the rivalry before Texas Tech broke through with a 21–16 victory in 1966.[5] The Red Raiders also defeated the Razorbacks the following year, winning 31–27.[6] After a 30–7 Texas Tech victory in 1976,[7] Arkansas embarked on another nine-game winning streak, winning every year until 1986.[8] Arkansas and Texas Tech played every year from 1957–1991, when the teams were members of the Southwest Conference.[9] In 1992, Arkansas joined the Southeastern Conference,[10] and the two schools have only played twice since: a 49–28 Arkansas victory in 2014[11] and a 35–24 Texas Tech victory in 2015.[12] The teams are scheduled to meet in a home-and-home series for 2030 and 2031.[13]
