4. Lincoln Riley has the Red Raiders number
Lincoln Riley is a west Texas guy. Born in Lubbock and went to high school in Muleshoe. He understands that part of the state. He played at Texas Tech under Mike Leach and was an assistant there from 2003-2009.
With all that being said he loves to beat his Alma Mater. He has faced them on two previous occasions as offensive coordinator for Oklahoma. In those two meeting the Sooners have put up 63 and 66 points respectively. I expect more of the same from Oklahoma on Saturday.
This will be his first time to be the Head Coach as he faces his former team but he understands what it takes to beat Texas tech. On a Saturday night in Norman Memorial Stadium will be rocking. Oklahoma is going to make a statement in front of National audience.
