OKLAHOMA-TEXAS TECH

Published 5:10 am Saturday, November 3, 2018

LUBBOCK (AP) — Oklahoma will need to win its 19th consecutive true road game over four seasons to maintain a share of the Big 12 lead.

Texas Tech has lost its last seven games against top-10 teams since a win over West Virginia in 2012. The Red Raiders could get bowl eligible for the 16th time since 2000.

The Red Raiders average 528 yards and 42 points a game, second only to Oklahoma in the Big 12. The Sooners have held TCU to 275 total yards and Kansas State to 245 since interim defensive coordinator Ruffin McNeill took over for fired DC Mike Stoops. McNeill is a former Texas Tech defensive coordinator and was on staff there when Kingsbury played quarterback.
