Oklahoma-Texas Tech prediction: The Sooners should have enough defense to escape Lubbock with a win

When: 7 p.m., Saturday

What's on the line

For Oklahoma, this is a huge game for perception. The national narrative all week has been about these teams meeting in Lubbock for the first time since the 66-59 defensive debacle in Lubbock in 2016. The Red Raiders again have a potent offense with an efficient quarterback in Alan Bowman, and the Sooners’ defense again has plenty of question marks -- even without Mike Stoops.
