Consequently, 'Shark Tank' will not be broadcast that day.

The Longhorns have bounced back from a few challenging games, including a loss to Oklahoma in the Red River Showdown. They recently defeated Iowa State 26-16 on the road, marking their first ten-win regular season since 2009. A win in their next game would secure them the No. 1 seed in the Big 12 Championship Game.

Texas Tech, after a rocky start of 1-3, has turned their season around with three consecutive victories, achieving bowl eligibility. Under Coach Joey McGuire's guidance, the Red Raiders have experienced their first Big 12 winning streak since 2009.

In a recent game, Texas Tech made a stunning comeback from a 14-0 deficit in the first quarter to win 24-23 against UCF. This victory was clinched by blocking an extra point with just 5:30 left in the fourth quarter. Tahj Brooks was a standout in this game, rushing for 182 yards and scoring a touchdown.

In their 2022 matchup, Texas Tech rallied from a 10-point halftime deficit to defeat Texas 37-34. In this thrilling victory, receiver Myles Price made a significant impact with 13 receptions for 98 yards.
