Oklahoma State Heads to Lubbock as Heavy Underdog

Oklahoma State (1-6, 0-4 Big 12) will travel to Lubbock Saturday as a heavy underdog to face ranked Texas Tech (6-1), which has a top statistical resume but recently lost to Arizona State and has uncertainty at starting quarterback Behren Morton. OSU’s clear vulnerabilities — weak third-down and red-zone defense and a negative turnover margin — make keeping the game close a steep task for interim coach Doug Meacham. Game-day matters in Lubbock, including reports of a tortilla ban and local media notes on Morton and scheduling, have drawn added attention. Separately, No. 14 TCU’s women’s team beat the Oklahoma State Cowgirls 3-1 Sunday as TCU continued its strong Big 12 run.
