Oklahoma State football hit the road looking to make a statement against Texas Tech, but the Red Raiders had other ideas. What’d we learn?

The Red Raiders were 10-point underdogs at home to Oklahoma State which came into Lubbock as the 21st-ranked team in the nation. However, the Cowboys looked like anything but a ranked team as Texas Tech had their way all game long.

Oklahoma State had plenty of opportunities in this one, but either turned the ball over or could not capitalize. Texas Tech won a huge game which will give the Red Raiders momentum as conference play is starting to pick up. Oklahoma State however, has plenty to work on.

What’d we learn from the Cowboys’ loss?

3. Oklahoma State could do little against Texas Tech’s defense

Usually Texas Tech, defense and dominant are not words you say in the same sentence. However, today the Red Raiders caused total chaos on defense as they pressured Oklahoma State quarterback Spencer Sanders the whole game and caused several turnovers.

The Red Raiders were able to limit Sanders’ big plays as well as keep star wide receiver Tylan Wallace in check. While some fluky things happened and Oklahoma State was able to get back in the game, the Red Raiders defense played well overall and forced Sanders to turn the ball over several times as well as miss throws on open receivers.

If the Red Raiders can play defense like this every game, they could surprise some people.
