Before the season started, I would not have given Texas Tech a chance in heck to beat TCU.

But given the rash of injuries / issues to TCU's defensive players, Tech has a legitimate shot to hang with TCU. Heck, TT might even be able to outscore TCU.
TCU gave up 37 points and over 500 yards of offense to the SMU Mustangs.

That said, I still believe Tech has some issues of their own on defense.
One nice win over a reeling Arkansas team does not make a good defense.
When you give up over 600 yards of offense to Sam Houston State and over 400 yards to UTEP, your defense has issues. Despite all of Arkansas's problems, they still managed to gain over 400 yards of offense against TT.
I look for this game to make some interesting turns & twists. I would not be surprised if TT found a way to win at home.

Newsflash: Texas has a QB that can make plays (with his feet).
We all know that Texas has a very talented group of players.
Okie State is flying high after their dismantling of UTSA.
I see this game as a toss up. The game will likely come down to turnovers and big plays.
One thing is for sure, if Okie State is plus 6 in the TO margin like they were last week, they win by 30+ points.

GO STATE !!
