BOX SCORE

NORMAN,
Okla. (AP) -- Ryan Broyles caught three of Landry Jones' five
touchdown passes and broke a few more Oklahoma records, leading the
19th-ranked Sooners to a 45-7 victory against Texas Tech on Saturday.
Broyles
caught eight passes for 119 yards and broke Mark Clayton's career
records for receptions and touchdown catches at Oklahoma (8-2, 4-2 Big
12). He also eclipsed his own mark for catches in a season and now holds
almost every significant receiving record at the school.
Broyles
tumbled backward into the end zone after an acrobatic 29-yard catch in
the second quarter and later added an 18-yard touchdown catch and a
leaping 8-yard TD grab on a fade route.
Texas Tech (5-5, 3-5)
scored on Detron Lewis' touchdown pass to fellow receiver Darrin Moore
out of the wildcat formation but then gave up 38 straight points.
Jones
surpassed 300 yards passing for the seventh time this season,
completing 22 of 29 passes for 317 yards. He also had a 12-yard
touchdown pass to DeMarco Murray on Oklahoma's first possession and a
59-yard score on a deep ball to Kenny Stills.
It was the third
straight blowout by the home team in the series. The Sooners came up
with a memorable 65-21 rout against the No. 2 Red Raiders two years ago,
derailing Tech's bid at perfection in the next-to-last game of the
regular season.
The Red Raiders got a measure of revenge last
season with a 41-13 victory in the rematch, celebrating to the same song
-- House of Pain's "Jump Around" -- that the Sooners jubilantly bounced
to in 2008.
The stakes weren't nearly so high in this one.
Oklahoma bounced back from its fourth straight conference road loss to
stretch the nation's longest home winning streak to 36, in the process
keeping alive its chances of winning the Big 12 South title.
No.
12 Oklahoma State entered with a one-game lead over the Sooners and
played at Texas later Saturday night.
Tech, which has been
eligible for a bowl game each of the last 16 years, remained one win shy
with only nonconference home games against Weber State and Houston left
on the schedule.
The Sooners got a scare when Murray went to the
locker room in the second quarter after trainers were examining his
chest, but he came back for the opening series of the second half.
Starting
defensive tackle Adrian Taylor didn't return after he was wheeled off
the field in a cart later in the second quarter. He was unable to put
weight on his right foot.
Oklahoma is already without its other
starting defensive tackle, Casey Walker, due to injury.
After
allowing a season-best 95 yards passing by Blaine Gabbert in an upset of
then-No. 14 Missouri last week, Texas Tech's defense returned to its
usual struggles. Jones threw for 276 yards and four touchdowns in the
first half against the defense that ranks third-to-last in the nation
against the pass, guiding the Sooners to a 38-7 advantage.
Broyles'
15-yard catch on Oklahoma's second play of the game broke a tie with
Clayton for the school record for career receptions at 221. His leaping
catch over Jarvis Phillips in the third quarter stretched the lead to
45-7 and gave him 32 receptions for touchdowns in his career, one more
than Clayton.
He also matched Clayton's records with eight
100-yard games in a season and 15 in a career.
