Red Raiders

Texas Tech is preparing for Oklahoma State's high-powered offense in a late-night game Saturday

Texas Tech (8-1, 5-1 Big 12) visits Oklahoma State (6-3, 4-2), now led by first-year coach and former Red Raider receiver Eric Morris. The Cowboys went 1-21 over the previous two seasons but are already bowl eligible. Texas Tech shut out the Pokes 42-0 the last time the programs met.

“I think we're facing the best quarterback in the nation.”

Texas Tech head coach Joey McGuire, on Oklahoma State's Drew Mestemaker

Three straight wins to close the regular season would send the Red Raiders back to Arlington to defend their conference title. A second loss would leave their postseason path dependent on tiebreakers.

  • Cowboys' last game: a 66-28 win at Kansas State
  • Cowboys' defense: 384 yards allowed a game, 12th in the Big 12
  • Cowboys' transfer class: No. 15 nationally, per 247sports

“When we got home tonight, we spotted this little fox sitting quietly in the grass beside a tree. He looked so young, and those enormous ears were absolutely adorable!
