• Texas Tech is calling for a “Blackout” of Saturday’s game as all fans are encouraged to wear black to Jones AT&T Stadium. • Saturday’s game will mark the 43rd all-time meeting between Texas Tech and Oklahoma State. The Red Raiders lead the series with a 21-18-3 advantage, including a 12-5-2 mark in games played in Lubbock. • Texas Tech enters its meeting with Oklahoma State averaging 46.6 points per game which ranks fifth nationally. • Texas Tech is averaging 42.0 points per game in Big 12 play despite facing three ranked opponents through five games. • This is the fourth time already for Texas Tech during Big 12 play where both teams enter averaging at least 40.0 points per game. • The Red Raiders head into Saturday’s game having scored at least 25 points in each of the first eight games of this season. Texas Tech had not previously scored 25 or more points in its first games of a season since 2008. • Texas Tech continues to boast one of the nation’s top offenses as the Red Raiders rank third nationally in total offense and passing offense. • Texas Tech ranks second nationally having converted 54.5 percent of its third downs this season. • Through five games in Big 12 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). • The Red Raider defense, meanwhile, has made significant strides in forcing turnovers under new defensive coordinator David Gibbs. Texas Tech currently ranks ninth nationally and second in the Big 12 with 17 forced turnovers this year, nine of which that have come in conference play.
