STILLWATER – Oklahoma State hosts Texas Tech this weekend in the final home matchup of the 2016 season, with kickoff set for 2:30 p.m. Saturday on FS1. A closer look at the matchup:
An Oklahoma State Win Would...
• Extend the Cowboys' current Big 12 winning streak to six games. Only three times before has OSU won six or more Big 12 games in a row. The Cowboys won seven in a row in 2011 and again in 2013, and won eight in a row from the end of 2014 through 2015.
• Mark the eighth time in the last nine seasons that Mike Gundy has led the Cowboys to at least eight victories.
• Mark the Cowboys' eighth straight win over Texas Tech, dating back to 2008.
• Mark the Cowboys' seventh straight win over the Red Raiders in Stillwater, dating back to 2001.
• Move the Cowboys to 10-2 vs. Texas Tech during the Mike Gundy era (2005-present).
• Improve the Cowboys to 6-1 in Big 12 play this season, marking the sixth time in the last eight seasons that the Cowboys have won at least six conference games.
• Bring the Cowboys' final home record to 6-1 this season, matching 2008, 2009, 2011 and 2012 for the season-high for home victories during the Mike Gundy era.
• Improve the Cowboys to 52-6 in their last 58 games against unranked opponents, dating back to 2010.
• Improve the Cowboys to 44-17 in Big 12 Conference games since 2010. At 46-13, only Oklahoma has a better Big 12 record than OSU this decade.
