TV: Noon ET, FOX. LINE: Oklahoma -27.
ABOUT TEXAS TECH (2-1): Starting quarterback Alan Bowman - the Big 12's leading passer with 340 yards per game - sustained a left shoulder injury against Arizona that will sideline him several weeks. Wells stated at his weekly press conference that both junior Jeff Duffey and Rice graduate transfer Jackson Tyner would see action in place of Bowman; Duffey came on in relief of an injured Bowman last season at halftime against Oklahoma, accounting for 186 yards and three touchdowns in a 51-46 loss. Junior receiver T.J. Vasher (18 catches, 246 yards and two touchdowns) has registered at least six catches in seven straight contests and is one of four Red Raiders with at least 137 yards receiving.
ABOUT OKLAHOMA (3-0): Hurts is the only player in the country averaging more than 85 rushing yards (124.3) and at least 225 passing yards (293.3) per contest; he also owns the nation's sixth-, seventh- and ninth-best passing efficiency ratings this year (253.6, South Dakota; 251.0, Houston; 245.9, UCLA). CeeDee Lamb, who ranks fourth nationally in yards per catch (25.4), became the first Sooner since Brandon Daniels (1996-99) to have a receiving, rushing and passing TD in his career after scoring on a 1-yard run against UCLA. Trey Sermon (27 carries, 198 yards and one touchdown) set career highs with 26 carries, 206 yards rushing and three TDs last year versus the Red Raiders - nearly topping his marks in all three categories through three games in 2019.
