What’s at stake
Texas Tech can clinch a spot in the Big 12 title game by winning its final three regular-season games. A loss would put the Red Raiders’ path to Arlington in the hands of conference tiebreakers. Both teams are ranked in the latest College Football Playoff poll.
What to watch
Texas Tech has averaged 43.5 points and 555 yards of offense over its past two games with Thomas Castellanos at quarterback. The Red Raiders put up 638 yards in last week’s 53–48 win over West Virginia. On defense, Tech has recorded 18 sacks over its past four games.
Tech shut out Oklahoma State 42–0 in Lubbock last season. The Red Raiders lead the all-time series 25–24–3 and are 9–14 in Stillwater.
Tech made it to Stillwater
Texas Tech Athletics communications director Matt Burkholder told the Chronicle the team reached Stillwater without a problem Friday. The confirmation came as the FAA halted departures nationwide following an air traffic control communications outage. Read the Chronicle’s travel update.
