Get ready for a Big 12 battle as the Texas Tech Red Raiders and the Oklahoma State Cowboys will face off at 3:30 p.m. ET on Saturday at Boone Pickens Stadium. Oklahoma State will be strutting in after a victory while Texas Tech will be stumbling in from a defeat.
The Red Raiders came up short against the Kansas State Wildcats last week, falling 37-28. RB Xavier White put forth a good effort for the losing side as he caught nine passes for one TD and 120 yards. That receiving effort made it the first game that White has posted more than 100 yards receiving.
Meanwhile, Oklahoma State was able to grind out a solid win over the Baylor Bears last week, winning 36-25. Oklahoma State QB Spencer Sanders was slinging it as he passed for one TD and 181 yards on 29 attempts in addition to rushing for one TD and 75 yards.
Texas Tech is expected to lose this next one by 9. Those burned by picking them against the spread last week might want to keep in mind that the team has not yet dropped back-to-back games against the spread this season.
Texas Tech is now 3-2 while the Cowboys sit at 4-0. Two offensive numbers to keep in mind before kickoff: The Red Raiders come into the game boasting the fourth most passing yards per game in the nation at 362.4. Oklahoma State is not quite as good, but they are no chumps, either: they enter the contest with 314.3 passing yards per game on average, good for 16th best in the nation.
