Texas Tech football: Big 12 opener at Ok. St. kickoff time set

Monday, the Big 12 announced that the conference opener for the Texas Tech football team at Oklahoma Statewill be even more challenging than it already looked to be. That’s because the game is set for a 6 p.m. kickoff, meaning the home crowd at Boone Pickens Stadium will have all day to get amped up.

The 60,000-seat stadium is one of the more challenging road environments in the Big 12 due in large part to the fact that the visitors’ sideline is unusually close to the student section. And now, the OSU faithful will be in full throat as the Red Raiders try to end one of the most frustrating streaks in program history.
