There is a going to be a battle that goes on when the Longhorns and the Red Raiders face off on the gridiron….for it dang near never matters who has the better talent or who is considered to be the better team….and this 1985 SWC Game of the Week between these two longstanding rivals was no different.
Coach Fred Akers of Texas….led his Longhorns into this November 2, 1985 contest in front of 65,137 fans at Memorial Stadium in Austin, TX against Coach Jerry Moore and his Red Raiders squad….in a game that turned into a typical Texas vs Tech match-up….and ended in a 34 – 21 win by the Longhorns….but only after a highly contested hard-fought contest.
