This puts them in good position to make another run at a playoff spot, if they can run the table in November. But before the team can think about any playoff, they are focused on this Saturday’s challenge when they travel south to Lubbock to take on the Texas Tech Red Raiders (5-3, 3-2).
The Red Raiders are coming off a difficult 40-31 loss at Iowa State, while the Sooners are riding high off a dominating 51-14 win over Kansas State. All eyes will be on the Sooners defense, who have performed extremely well in the two games since Ruffin McNeil was promoted to interim defensive coordinator, as they face a tough test against the nation’s #3 passing yards team in the country in the Red Raiders, who average 376.
