Texas Tech Notables
- Ricky Sailor picked off Oklahoma quarterbacks twice in the game giving him his second and third interceptions of the season and fourth and fifth of his career. The first one was late in the first quarter off of Nate Hybl and the second mid-way through the fourth quarter when Paul Thompson had replaced Hybl.
- Kliff Kingsbury was sacked in the endzone for the safety late in the first quarter marking the first time since 1995 (Oct. 21 vs. Rice) that an opponent has scored a safety against the Red Raider offense.
- The Texas Tech offense did not pick up a first down until the 14:20 mark in the second quarter marking the longest stretch this season that Tech has not produced a first down.
- Texas Tech failed to scored in the first half for the first time this season. The last time Tech did not score points in the first half of a game was against Nebraska in 2000.
- Freshman Vincent Meeks scored the first points of the game for Texas Tech on a 98-yard kickoff return late in the second quarter. Ivory McCann was the last Tech player to return a kickoff for a touchdown when he returned the ball 100 yards against New Mexico in the season opener last season.
