On Saturday night, the Fox Broadcasting Company's presentation of the Texas Tech/Oklahoma football game was delayed from 3:30pm ET to 4:45pm ET due to bad weather, but the last-minute changes came effect prior to Fox's telecast of Game 3 of the World Series between the Boston Red Sox and the St. Louis Cardinals beginning at 7:30pm ET.

The football game was moved to Fox News Channel at 7:30pm ET during the 4th quarter (which produced the Sunday morning talk program Fox News Sunday and other news content for the Fox network) as Fox left the football game at the same time for coverage of the World Series in Busch Stadium while affiliates in both team's markets continued to air till the game's conclusion that would joined the baseball game in progress. The reason FNC broadcast an overrun Texas Tech-Oklahoma was many of Fox Sports' cable channels including Fox Sports 1 aired regular scheduled college football games. FX, who lose its sports programming to Fox's new sports network back in August declined to carry that game. It was the first time in its 17th history that FNC aired an sporting event other than broadcast news.

The Fox Sports team of Gus Johnson and Charles Davis called Teaxs Tech-Oklahoma on Fox/FNC where Oklahoma defeat Texas Tech 38-20. The Fox broadcast network and Fox News Channel are owned by the same company as Fox Sports 1.
