PLAYERS TO WATCH
–QB Alan Bowman enjoyed a breakout game in Texas Tech’s win over Houston. He passed for 605 yards and five TDs and showed the kind of poise reminiscent of a long line of Red Raider quarterbacks.
–WR Antoine Wesley has emerged as the Red Raiders’ go-to play-maker. His 261 receiving yards were a school record. Considering some of the WRs that have come through Texas Tech, that’s a big deal.
–S Vaughnte Dorsey had four total tackles, including a sack for a loss of 13 yards against Houston. That brings him up to 13 tackles for the season despite missing almost three quarters due to a targeting ejection in the season-opener.
–LB/DE Tony Jones had a sack for the third straight game, making him Texas Tech’s top pass rusher this season. He now has three sacks and five TFLs among his 17 tackles this season.
SERIES HISTORY: The Texas Tech vs. Oklahoma State series is tied 21-21-3. The Cowboys have done a lot of work to pull even, winning nine straight dating back to 2009.
QUOTE TO NOTE: “(Wesley) really works at his craft every day in practice. He goes as hard as he can on every rep he gets. It’s paid off. That was a breakout game, he had some unbelievable plays. We’ve just got to keep him coming. He’s a long ways from where he can be and he knows that.” — Kliff Kingsbury on WR Antoine Wesley’s 13-catch, 261-yard receiving game versus Houston.
