Austin American-Statesman

During Texas Tech's field storming after the Red Raiders defeated the Longhorns Saturday, one over-zealous male fan ran up to what appeared to be Texas' Ovie Oghoufo and gave him a shove in the back.

On Sunday, Texas Tech released an image from a video circulating on social media showing the incident at Jones AT&T Stadium with a plea to fans to help identify the fan.

"A video clip of a fan pushing a University of Texas student athlete was recently brought to our attention. This behavior is unacceptable and Texas Tech Athletics has turned the matter over the Texas Tech Police Department. We will work together to identify the fan and take further action.

If anyone has information that can assist in identifying this individual, please contact the Texas Tech Police Department at 806-742-3931," a statement from the school read.
