The Eight Best Stats from the Oklahoma State-Texas Tech Game

There are a lot of numbers to choose from, but I tried to narrow it down to just eight. Here we go.

1. Most points ever in Lubbock

How about that? Ramon Richards notched the record. The 70 Oklahoma State posted on Saturday is the most that have ever been scored on Tech in Lubbock. More than the 2011 team which *only put up 66.

That’s also the most points ever scored in a conference game by the Pokes.

2. James Washington is sixth WR to post 200-yard day

Dez Bryant (2x), Justin Blackmon (2x), Rashaun Woods (3x), Adarius Bowman, Curtis Mayfield and now Washington. Pretty special list.

3. How rare is a 70+ to 50+ game?

It’s only happened five other times since 2000 and just once between Power 5 schools. Unsurprisingly, this came in a Big 12 game between West Virginia and Baylor.

Update: I can’t read. It happened twice. Arkansas-Kentucky too. Still, wild. 

4. How about 1,304 yards?

This was just the 21st game since 2000 in which both teams had 640 or more yards. OSU and Tech were also involved in one of the other ones (2003)

5. Second-biggest comeback ever

OSU revived itself from 17 down in the second quarter. That’s the second-biggest comeback in school history.

6. Just because this is hilarious

J.W. Walsh put up 218 yards by himself in the 4th quarter today on a total of 4 rushes + 2 passes.

Over 200 yards on six plays? That was like two weeks’ worth of Mike Yurcich work earlier on this season.

7. Seven in a row vs. Raiders

This is hard to believe, but Oklahoma State has won seven straight against Texas Tech (hasn’t lost since Zac was the QB in 2008!) and has posted 188 points in its last three trips to Lubbock. 188!

8. Mason Rudolph had fourth-best QBR

OSU QBs ranked by QBR on Saturday …

Austin Hays: 100 (perfect)
J.W. Walsh: 99.7
Chris Carson: 99.5
Mason Rudolph: 56.8

Speaking of Hays, he’s the first O-Stater since (at least 1982) to have a passing and receiving TD in the same game (according to OSU’s athletic dept.)
