Meanwhile, White has yet to play for Texas Tech this year. He spent the last four years playing for San Diego State . In the past two seasons, he has racked up 107 tackles with 19.5 sacks, plus a forced fumble. He was the 16th-ranked overall player in the transfer portal this past offseason.
Texas Tech will be without Amier Boyd, their top corner. That could be a huge loss for the Red Raiders. Boyd was projected to be matched up against Amare Thomas for Houston. Thomas did bring in 11 receptions for 162 yards and two touchdowns.
Houston and Texas Tech will kick off from Lubbock , Texas, at 8 pm ET on Friday night.
