Red Raiders will face Oklahoma in a 7 p.m. kickoff Oct. 28 in Norman
LUBBOCK, Texas – Texas Tech will be spotlighted in primetime once again Oct. 28 when the Red Raiders travel to Norman to face Oklahoma in a 7 p.m. kickoff from Gaylord Family – Oklahoma Memorial Stadium. Television coverage will be provided nationally on either ABC or ESPN2.
Â
This will be Tech's third night kickoff this season as the Red Raiders (4-2; 1-2) previously hosted Arizona State and Oklahoma State in 7 p.m. starts. It will be the first time Tech has gone on the road for a night game since midway through the 2016 season when the Red Raiders traveled to Kansas State.
Â
Tech has not previously faced the Sooners on the road in primetime since the 2011 meeting between the two schools where the Red Raiders outlasted Oklahoma, 41-38, following a 104-minute rain delay prior to kickoff. The Sooners were the top-ranked team in the country coming into that game in the coaches' poll and No. 3 overall in the Associated Press rankings.
Â
The two schools rewrote the record books against each other a year ago after combining for 1,708 yards of total offense in a 66-59 victory by the Sooners. It marked the most combined yards of total offense in a game in NCAA FBS history, breaking the previous mark of 1,640 yards that was set in 2011 by San Jose State and Nevada.
Â
Patrick Mahomes II tied the NCAA FBS record with 734 passing yards as part of a Tech offense that compiled a school-record 854 yards of total offense (734 passing, 120 passing). Mahomes finished with 819 yards of total offense on his own, which easily broke the NCAA FBS single-game record of 751 yards set by Washington State's Connor Halliday in a 2014 meeting against California.
Â
The Red Raiders will first host Iowa State for Homecoming this Saturday. Kickoff is slated for 11 a.m. at Jones AT&T Stadium with television coverage provided nationally on FOX Sports 1.
Â
Single-game tickets for this weekend's game are still available by contacting the Tech Ticket Office at 806-742-TECH. Tech is offering a Raider Power Pack that will provide fans a ticket to each of the remaining three home games for just $120 per person.
