Texas Tech tackle Marlon Winn started the week reminding teammates the added significance of today’s regular-season home finale against Oklahoma. It’ll be the last trip down the tunnel at Jones AT&T Stadium for 19 Red Raiders seniors.

Texas Tech wide receiver Edward Britton hopes to hear one last roar from the Jones AT&T Stadium crowd today in the final home game for 19 Red Raider seniors.

“He said it (Sunday) night: ‘How would you want to be sent out when you’re a senior?’’’ Tech linebacker Bront Bird said. “’We have a lot of freshmen and sophomores playing right now. Think about whenever it’s your time, how you want your legacy to be left in the Jones.’ So I think the team’s going to rally around that.’’

Tech and Oklahoma, both 6-4, tee it up at 11:30 a.m. today. Tech has won its last five and eight of nine senior day games in Mike Leach’s decade as head coach. Four of those wins came against ranked teams and two — Texas in 2002 and Oklahoma in 2007 — were upsets of teams ranked No. 3 at the time.

Leach didn’t exactly show his sentimental side this week when talking about the last home game for the seniors.

“We don’t need a bunch of baloney,’’ he said. “I mean, it’s a good day and it’s cool and all that. But the thing is, we’ve got plenty more time together. We need to make the most of that.’’

Representatives from the Holiday, Alamo and Sun bowls are scheduled to be on hand today. The Holiday Bowl looks like a long shot for the Red Raiders, who are 1-2 since a three-game winning streak at midseason put them at 5-2.

It’s been an off year for Oklahoma, too, partly because the Sooners are 1-4 in games outside their home stadium. Oklahoma is averaging 49.8 points at home this season and 16.8 elsewhere.

“They’re a team that would like some plays back or some games back,’’ Leach said, “but they don’t have any serious holes, and they’ve got good talent and good coaches. They played together really well (last) week.’’

Did they ever. The Sooners rolled it up on Texas A&M 65-10. They got five touchdown passes from freshman Landry Jones, the same guy who threw five interceptions the week before in a 10-3 loss at Nebraska.

Tech and OU have experienced some of the same hardships. In their 10 games apiece, the Raiders have started eight combinations and the Sooners seven on the offensive line.

“They played really well Saturday,’’ OU coach Bob Stoops said. “Second quarter, we had too many penalties, so we’re still trying to work through that. But as far as blocking, protecting and those type of things, they are improving.’’

Bird said the Tech defense should know better than to make too much of OU’s difficulties up front. That was a lesson learned in Tech’s 52-30 loss to A&M.

“People said the same thing about A&M,’’ Bird said, “and they came in here and blocked better than they ever had on film. They came in here and blocked like they were all all-conference.’’

Even with the upheaval at quarterback and on the line, the Sooners’ playmakers can still scare any opponent. Speed back DeMarco Murray turned pass plays into 36- and 67-yard touchdowns last week, and wide receiver Ryan Broyles scored on a 25-yard run and a five-yard pass.

Tech has battled injuries and instability at quarterback the last six games, but Leach blamed himself for making in-game changes last week. Today he’s expected to start Taylor Potts, who could have his hands full.

Oklahoma’s defense, which is giving up only 12 points a game, has given the team a chance to win all season. The Sooners’ four los ses are by 1, 1, 3 and 7 points.
