Video of Texas Tech fan pushing Texas player illustrates the risk of continuing to schedule the Red Raiders

As students in the capacity crowd at Jones AT&T Stadium stormed the field after Saturday’s 37-34 overtime victory over the Texas Longhorns, a video that surfaced on Sunday shows a fan running up to Texas senior edge Ovie Oghoufo and pushing him in the back before appearing to run off.

Before the game, as Texas Tech fans changed “F*** UT” towards players and flipped them off, that type of behavior was easy to dismiss as nothing more than commonplace for a fanbase that throws batteries and tortillas on the field and sometimes worse — officials twice warned Texas Tech head coach Joey McGuire they would penalize the team if fans didn’t stop throwing drink containers at them.
