STILLWATER — In 2007, Texas Tech visited Oklahoma State for a game embedded in college football lore.
Then junior Red Raider receiver Eric Morris caught two passes for 16 yards and a touchdown in a 49-45 OSU win. The score isn’t remembered as much as what happened afterward: Mike Gundy’s postgame rant.
“Yeah, there was a lot going on in that game," Morris, now OSU’s coach, said Tuesday.
Nineteen years after scoring a touchdown against OSU in Boone Pickens Stadium, Morris will lead the Cowboys against Texas Tech.
The Cowboys have the No. 1 offense in the Big 12 (43.9 points per game) while the Red Raiders are No. 3 (37.6).
Morris wants the offensive fireworks more contained Saturday than they were in 2007 when Texas Tech’s Michael Crabtree and Danny Amendola combined for 470 receiving yards and four touchdowns.
“Hopefully this game's a little bit more controlled, but there's going to be a lot of really good football players,” Morris said. “They've done a great job building this roster in the last couple years, and do a phenomenal job putting them in great positions. They are really well-coached and play extremely hard. And I tell you what, they're really good up front on both sides. I think it's the recipe for winning championships. And so it'll be a fun one to see how it plays out.”
Texas Tech leads the all-time series 25-24-1. The Cowboys have a 14-10 advantage in the series in Stillwater. Last season, the Red Raiders won 42-0 in Lubbock.
