TOP GAMEDAY STORYLINES
• Texas Tech enters its meeting with Oklahoma averaging 49.4 points per game which ranks third nationally behind only fellow Big 12 Conference members Baylor and TCU. • This will be the 23rd all-time meeting in the series between Texas Tech and Oklahoma. The Sooners are 16-6 all-time against the Red Raiders and 9-2 in games played in Norman. • The Red Raiders head into Saturday’s game having scored at least 30 points in each of the first seven games of this season. Texas Tech has not previously had a team record 30 or more points in its first eight games of a season since 2008. • Texas Tech boasts one of the most high-powered offenses in the country as the Red Raiders currently rank second nationally in total offense as well as passing offense. • Texas Tech has scored 346 points through seven games this year, putting the Red Raiders on pace to break the school’s single-season record of 569 points (43.8 per game) in 2008. • Texas Tech is the only school in the country to have 10 different players catch a touchdown reception this season. • Through four games in Big 12 Conference play, Texas Tech has already scored 50 or more points twice, marking just the sixth time in program history where the Red Raiders have had multiple 50-plus point performances against league foes (1953, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2008 and 2015). • Texas Tech is averaging 45.8 points per game in Big 12 play despite already facing two top-five ranked opponents. • The Texas Tech defense has fared well in forcing turnovers this season as the Red Raiders rank 11th nationally in the category and 17th in turnover margin. • Behind the arm of Patrick Mahomes II, Texas Tech leads all power-five schools with 427.6 yards per game in the air.
