Morton Throws Four TDs as No. 21 Texas Tech Blasts Oregon State 45-14

The unbeaten start sends Texas Tech into conference play on the strength of a prolific passing game plus a defense cashing in takeaways.

Overview

  • Behren Morton posted a career-high 442 passing yards with four touchdowns, with two Red Raiders topping 100 receiving yards.
  • Texas Tech rolled up 513 total yards, including 444 through the air, and scored 40-plus for the third straight game.
  • The defense seized momentum with two Brice Pollock interceptions that became 10 points for the Red Raiders.
  • Play paused early for roughly a two-to-two-and-a-half-hour weather delay before Texas Tech surged to a 45-0 advantage.
  • Oregon State dropped to 0-3 as its ground game managed just 7 rushing yards on 19 attempts and special-teams troubles persisted; Texas Tech visits Utah next, and the Beavers head to Oregon.
