In game four of the 2017 season, Texas Tech had an opportunity to make the biggest statement of the Kliff Kingsbury era. But in a nationally televised night game against No. 15 Oklahoma State, the Red Raiders were unable to make the plays down the stretch falling 41-34.
The game was a blackout in the stands but on the field, Tech sported throwback uniforms in the style worn by the 1970’s era teams. But while the threads were a throwback, the game resembled so many recent Texas Tech games in that the red Raiders could not pull out a win in a shootout that went down to the wire.
