Eric Morris faces alma mater Texas Tech at Oklahoma State, where he never won as player or OC
Eric Morris returns to face Texas Tech in a game with Big 12 standings implications and a late-night ESPN window.
- On Saturday, Oklahoma State head coach Eric Morris faces alma mater Texas Tech in a significant Big 12 showdown at Boone Pickens Stadium. The 8:30 p.m. kickoff is now a ranked matchup.
- Morris, who played and coached at Texas Tech, has never won at Boone Pickens Stadium; he went 0-2 as a player and lost twice there as offensive coordinator for the Red Raiders.
- Texas Tech enters with an 8-1 record and controls its Big 12 destiny, while Oklahoma State, at 6-3 overall and 4-2 in league play, needs a win to maintain championship hopes after two winless conference seasons.
- Defensive back Mo Horn, a Texas Tech transfer on the Oklahoma State roster, said the Cowboys will play fast and confident. "Win or lose, someone's probably leaving this game knowing that the season's almost over," Horn said.
- If Texas Tech wins out, they reach the Big 12 Championship for the second straight year. Beating the Red Raiders gives Oklahoma State a valuable tiebreaker in the conference standings.
