Although Texas Tech coach Mike Leach helped establish a productive system for years to come as offensive coordinator for Oklahoma in 1999, that does not mean fans take it any easier on him when he makes the trip to Norman, Okla.

"I wouldn't think," said Leach, whose No. 2 Red Raiders take part in another pivotal game against No. 5 Oklahoma at 7 p.m. Saturday in Norman. "I haven't really found that to be the case; going to Owen Field is not a take-it-easy-on-somebody environment really."
