Texas Tech was in the lead over Oklahoma State in the second half. Flush with success, the Red Raiders attempted an onside kick and found themselves on the losing side of the score after the Cowboys returned it for a touchdown.

The Red Raiders have a way to go to suffer the embarrassment Northwestern endured in the 2005 Sun Bowl when Brandon Breazell returned a pair of onside attempts for Bruins touchdowns.
Breazell’s end-zone trips served as the daggers: a 42-yard return with 2:24 left on the clock, and a 45-yard return with 18 seconds left to cap the 50-38 win.
