This game fell into the untouchable category until Tech QB Behren Morton was declared out for the second straight week. The offense understandably slipped under freshman backup Will Hammond, who generated a modest 22 points against Arizona State in his debut. The experience will serve him well, but it seems logical the Red Raiders will maintain caution on offense, knowing it is far superior and need not get fancy. If that happens, a wacky blow-up-the-scoreboard score is improbable, which plays in Okie State's favor to cover.

First, let me state the obvious: Oklahoma State is arguably the worst Power Four conference team in the country. To say they're just plain old bad is an understatement. Coming off a loss, look for Texas Tech to run up the score against a team that could barely stop you and me if we were playing on offense. We should get garbage points galore throughout this one. Texas Tech 56, Oklahoma State 10.
