Scenes from OU-Texas Tech Weekend and Homecoming
Scenes from Saturday’s OU Homecoming Parade.
Sooners turn to run game to demolish Texas Tech, 63-27
Lincoln Riley’s Sooner offense showed it can be whatever it wants to be.
Against Texas Tech it was a run-dominant offense, lead by Samaje Perine, who ran through Red Raider defenders for 201 yards and four touchdowns, giving No. 17 Oklahoma a 63-27 win.
There was also much hype of this game as a “grudge match”, given that Sooner QB Baker Mayfield walked off the Red Raider team and onto the Sooner team after his freshman season in Lubbock in 2013. Texas Tech blocked Mayfield from playing right away in Norman. But that made no difference to Mayfield, who calmly completed 15 of 22 passes for 212 yards and two touchdowns.
“Obviously football’s an emotional game, and I used to attend there, it’s just a fact,” he said. “So there was little bit coming into it, but I had to look at it like a normal game. That’s the focus we came into it with, and that’s how we had to execute.”
