Texas Tech Tops Oklahoma State 56-48

Texas Tech defeated Oklahoma State 56-48, marking the Red Raiders' return to form after a previous loss. Behren Morton and Tahj Brooks each contributed four touchdowns, while the Cowboys, now 0-8 in Big 12 play, extended their losing streak to eight games. Freshman quarterback Maealiuaki Smith showed promise in his first start for OSU, throwing for 326 yards and two touchdowns, but was unable to secure a win. The game featured a back-and-forth scoring fest, with Texas Tech pulling ahead after a crucial fumble recovery in the end zone. Despite strong performances from OSU's Ollie Gordon, who rushed for 156 yards and three touchdowns, the Cowboys fell short in their hopes of a conference victory. The upcoming season finale against No. 16 Colorado will be OSU's last chance to avoid a winless conference season for the first time under coach Mike Gundy.
