Overview

  • Officials enforced the conference policy after a warning, docking Texas Tech 30 yards during the 42–17 victory over Kansas.
  • One flag forced the Red Raiders to start a drive inside their own 15, and another gave Kansas possession at its 40.
  • Kansas coach Lance Leipold said a pocketknife thrown from the stands struck a Jayhawks staffer, and a KU official linked one penalty to that incident.
  • Texas Tech coach Joey McGuire criticized repeat tosses, urged fans to stop, and said the program will develop a better plan before the Oct. 25 home game.
  • The Big 12 measure, approved 15–1 by athletic directors with Texas Tech’s Kirby Hocutt dissenting, requires a warning before assessing a 15-yard penalty to the home team for objects thrown from the stands.
