Oklahoma and Texas Tech played one of the greatest games of all time when [autotag]Baker Mayfield[/autotag] and Patrick Mahomes went touchdown-for-touchdown in a 66-59 classic that set records in nearly every offensive category.
After Texas Tech punted to start the second half of a 30-24 game in favor of the Sooners, Mayfield and Mahomes went to work.
Over the next 10 possessions, the two sides alternated touchdown drives until Oklahoma was able to kneel on the ball to close out the game.
The Sooners and the Red Raiders combined for 1,708 total yards and 125 points. Baker Mayfield and Patrick Mahomes combined for 1,279 passing yards, and 12 touchdowns. Mahomes threw 88 passes that day and racked up over 800 total yards and seven total touchdowns.
Not to be lost in the incredible quarterback performance, [autotag]Joe Mixon[/autotag] had a career day as well, rushing for 263 yards and three touchdowns and added 114 receiving yards and a pair of scores.
Last year’s affair wasn’t nearly as exciting as the Oklahoma Sooners jumped out to 28-7 halftime lead and cruised to victory to improve to 9-0 on the season. [autotag]Caleb Williams[/autotag] had a great day, throwing for 402 yards and six touchdowns to lead the Sooners.
After struggling to find impressive wins throughout the season, the win over Tech marked their third straight win by 10 or more points and second win in three games by at least 21 points. However, that day in Norman provided the last glimpse of offensive explosion for the remainder of the regular season. The Sooners floundered the following week in their loss to Baylor, struggled against Iowa State, and after a strong first-half performance against Oklahoma State, disappeared offensively in the second half of their Bedlam loss.
Before we get to Saturday, let’s take a look back at Oklahoma vs. Texas Tech through the years with some of the best still images from the matchup.
