The TCU–Texas football rivalry is an annual college football rivalry game between the Horned Frogs of Texas Christian University and the Longhorns of the University of Texas.
History
The two
After trading wins and losses during the 1940s through the 1960s, the Longhorns began their long run of dominance over the Frogs. Beginning in 1968, Texas defeated TCU in 24 consecutive matchups.
When TCU joined the Big 12 Conference in 2012,[15] their conference scheduling ensured that TCU and Texas will play every year on the football field. Since joining the Big 12, TCU has defeated Texas in eight of the twelve matchups, with the only UT victories in that stretch coming in 2013, 2018, 2021 and 2023.
Texas is leaving the Big 12 Conference after the 2023 season to join the SEC beginning in 2024.[16]No future games are scheduled between the two teams.
