Texas Tech's football team waited through a lightning delay Saturday evening in Norman, Okla., by listening to music and eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
Inclement weather likely won't be a factor when the Red Raiders play Iowa State this week, but Tommy Tuberville hasn't ruled out the possibility of following the same routine.
"We may just keep doing that," Tuberville said. "That may be our pregame meal from now on."
Few would object. The Red Raiders won their biggest game in recent memory, beating then-No. 3 Oklahoma 41-38 to end the Sooners' 39-game home winning streak.
The victory seemingly came out of nowhere. Texas Tech, fresh off two heartbreaking losses to Texas A&M and Kansas State, entered the game as a 29-point underdog. But it led 31-7 early in the third quarter.
Seth Doege looked as good as any quarterback in the conference, throwing for 441 yards and four touchdowns. And Texas Tech's defense made Oklahoma quarterback Landry Jones look ordinary. Though his final stat line — 412 yards and five touchdowns — was stellar, he threw 25 incompletions and was fortunate to throw just one interception.
Looking back, Tuberville was proudest of his team's poise. Oklahoma made a late push, and Texas Tech held on. That's something it couldn't do against Texas A&M and K-State.
"The thing about both of those games was we played hard, we just made mistakes," Tuberville said. "Luckily, Saturday night a lot of things went our way and worked for us, which we hadn't done in the past few games."
Those changes altered the Red Raiders' season. Instead of riding a three-game losing streak, they are the ranked 19th.
Tuberville, in his second year, over-lived his shelf life at Auburn after some fantastic seasons, but is once again proving himself in Lubbock.
"It's one game, but it's a huge game for recruiting, for national stature," Tuberville said. "Obviously, you don't read too much about Texas Tech."
Guarding against the worst
Coaches across the Big 12 understand Oklahoma's pain. The Sooners had a clear path to the national championship game if they could win out.
The pressure Oklahoma had handled all season now shifts to Oklahoma State, which is unbeaten and has as good a chance as any team to play in the national title game at this point.
Mike Gundy understands that, and has prepared his team for the national spotlight since the beginning of September, when he said the Cowboys were in March Madness mode.
"There are not many opportunities to slip up and still be there at the end of the season," Gundy said.
A fantasy monster
Fantasy football is only popular in the NFL, but if it was widespread in college, Collin Klein would be one of the most valuable players around. The K-State junior is a touchdown machine. Against Kansas on Saturday, he scored five, four coming on the ground.
His size makes him incredibly hard to stop near the goal line. On the season, he has rushed for 14 touchdowns and thrown for eight more.
No bowl for Tigers?
Missouri is off to a disappointing 3-4 start, and it may not be able to climb out of its current hole. The Tigers have lost all three of their road games and were pounded at home by Oklahoma State on Saturday. Difficult games remain against Texas A&M, Baylor, Texas, Texas Tech.
Another honor
Tyler Lockett won weekly Big 12 special teams honors after returning a kickoff 97 yards for a touchdown against Kansas. It was his second kickoff return for a touchdown in as many weeks.
