Eric Gray is discovering ample working area behind variations of a G-T counter. It’s been Chris Murray largely, however this drive Gray ran behind a pulling Murray and Brayden Willis, who hit the Tech finish and linebacker with wham blocks that cleared a large gap.
Good stuff. Old faculty soccer.

7:14 p.m.
Great work within the first quarter preserving Texas Tech behind the chains so the Red Raiders haven’t felt comfy pulling the set off on fourth down.
The OU protection has held Texas Tech to fourth-and-10, fourth-and-17 and fourth-and-5. All have resulted in punts for probably the most aggressive fourth down offense within the nation.

Jay Nunez has actually put his imprints on this Oklahoma particular groups unit. For the third time this season, OU dials up a pretend discipline objective. It failed miserably, as Brayden Willis drops Michael Turk’s leap go, nevertheless it was brilliantly designed and Willis ought to have walked into the top zone.
Sooners lead continues to be 14-0.

7:00 p.m.
Oklahoma’s offense confirmed a few totally different speeds on that drive. Everybody is aware of concerning the tempo, however Dillon Gabriel didn’t snap the ball till there have been below 20 seconds on the play clock on three totally different events.
Not positive if that’s offensive coordinator Jeff Lebby making an attempt to assist the protection out after the Sooners have been dominated in time of possession the final two weeks or simply priming the offense to have the ability to run some clock within the fourth quarter if wanted. Clock administration will clearly be an enormous dialog within the second half if this lead holds after final week.

6:57 p.m.
Extremely environment friendly OU drive ends with a 7-yard landing go from Dillon Gabriel to Brayden Willis for a 14-0 lead. OU went 11 performs, 93 yards in 2:58 off the clock. Spectacular effectivity. Only confronted one third down, the third-and-1 throw to Willis.
And that’s the way you overcome not having the ability to convert a 3rd down.

6:46 p.m.
After a one-play takeaway, the Oklahoma protection forces a fast punt. Simply put, the OU protection has turned it up for many of the final two-plus video games.

6:44 p.m.
Texas Tech confirmed the coed part on the video board and there was a child in a Clemson jersey with an indication that stated “Brent please come home” in case anybody was questioning how the Tigers are doing this season.
— RC
6:40 p.m.
Bold name there by Brent Venables to go for it after Eric Gray obtained stuffed on third-and-3, and a daring name there by Jeff Lebby to have Dillon Gabriel half-roll left and discover Marvin Mims large open behind the Tech protection for a 37-yard landing.
Sooners lead it 7-0 early.

6:40 p.m.
Oklahoma’s offensive starters:
Harrison – Mettauer – Congel – Murray – Guyton
Mims – Farooq – Willis – Stoops
Gabriel – Gray
OU’s third down woes continued, however Dillon Gabriel hit Marvin Mims for a 37-yard landing go to money in on the fumble.

Oklahomas defensive starters:
Downs – Redmond – Kelley – Laulu

What a disappointment.
Centennial Champion, the horse who carries the Texas Tech Spirit Rider out in a dramatic pregame dash, has irritation in a single leg and is out for tonight’s recreation.
The first-year mascot is anticipated to make a full restoration and can run at dwelling.
On a associated word, Jordan Brown replaces the horse by taking the opening kickoff 66 yards towards the OU protection workforce.

That’s OK as a result of OU’s Jordan Kelley forces a fumble and Ethan Downs recovers on Tech’s first play.
Here we go.

6:27 p.m.
Still about 10 minutes till kickoff however this crowd is… unhappy. Tons of completely empty bleachers inside Jones AT&T Stadium. About what you’d anticipate for a Big 12 pillow struggle.

6:07 p.m.
What a cluster.
Texas Tech gathered on the OU sideline so they might jog single file previous the gang and high-five.
This occurred just some seconds earlier than OU broke its workforce huddle and headed to the locker room.
Problem: OU’s locker room entrance was behind the Tech gathering.
After a number of OU gamers and coaches tried to run across the blockade and had been once more blocked from exiting the sector, the officiating crew ran over and held up the Tech high-five line whereas the OU workforce ran up the tunnel.
Gamesmanship, no?
— JH
6:02 p.m.
This comes from Josh Callaway on the sector — it seems Brayden Willis might have harm himself within the warmup.
Callaway stated the Sooner tight finish is getting his ankle checked out on the sideline.
Willis did rejoin the workforce in warmups earlier than heading again into the locker room, Callaway stated.

5:52 p.m.
We’re not seeing defensive sort out Isaiah Coe in warmups both.
That would depart the D-line rotation as Jordan Kelley, Jalen Redmond, Jeffery Johnson, Josh Ellison and Gracen Halton.
No Kori Roberson, both, although I do not imagine he is been obtainable for some time now (unconfirmed).
Also, as was reported on Friday, Clayton Smith is now not on the net roster.

5:50 p.m.
Remember, earlier than the season, Tech coach Joey McGuire stated, “We’re gonna beat OU and then we’re gonna knock down the end zone,” that means begin early on renovations to the south finish zone of Jones AT&T Stadium.
We don’t precisely have a timetable on the demolition, however the AllSooners postgame podcast might should originate from the automotive on the way in which to Amarillo tonight.
Just to be protected.
— JH
5:40 p.m.
No Wanya Morris in warmups but. Doesn’t appear to be he is right here. At least, he is not with the remainder of the o-line.
The Sooners’ senior proper sort out took a knee/thigh to the helmet final week towards Oklahoma State.
Big night time for TCU switch Tyler Guyton.
Also, no Marcus Major but.

5:38 p.m.
Matt Wells continues to be at it. He’s nw wearing a crimson hoodie, however he simply jogged midway throughout the sector to pat the Texas Tech punter on the again.
— JH
5:32 p.m.
Just needed to ask these round me if the gates are open but right here at Jones AT&T Stadium.
It’s lifeless on campus and followers are slowly submitting in. Don’t assume this would be the typical House of Horrors that’s Lubbock at night time.
— RC
5:18 p.m.
The boss John Hoover has a formidable plate of nachos to my left right here within the press field whereas we await the Oklahoma return crew to hit the sector for warmups.
It’s chilly however dry in Lubbock, and the flags on high of the goalposts are dormant. The situations shouldn’t be an issue for Dillon Gabriel as we speak, so let’s see if he can have a bounce-back efficiency to shut the common season.
— RC
4:52 p.m.
Oklahoma offensive analyst Matt Wells has arrived on the enjoying floor at Jones AT&T Stadium — carrying a spiffy blue go well with — and is greeted passionately by a handful of Texas Tech gamers. Lots of hugs and smiles throughout. I can inform he’s actually having fun with this very cool human second with guys who he most likely recruited.
I truly met Matt method again in 1991 when he was a highschool quarterback at Sallisaw, and after they knocked Okmulgee out of the playoffs, I interviewed him. When he obtained the job at Tech, he informed me he nonetheless remembered that recreation and our interview.
He’s an incredible man.
