Overview

  • Texas Tech beat Colorado 29-7 at Folsom Field on Saturday, Oct. 3, improving the Red Raiders to 5-0 and 2-0 in Big 12 play.
  • Texas Tech's defense forced four second-half interceptions that produced 19 points, including a pick-six by linebacker John Curry and two picks by cornerback Brice Pollock.
  • Colorado's self-inflicted mistakes swung the game as the Buffaloes missed two field goals, attempted an unsuccessful fake punt, ran a botched trick play that led to an interception, and were flagged eight times for 84 yards.
  • Texas Tech lost running back Cameron Dickey to a first-half injury and saw Quentin Joyner add a 30-yard touchdown run while kicker Stone Harrington converted three of four field goals, including successful 52- and 46-yard attempts.
  • The win gave coach Joey McGuire his 40th victory at Texas Tech and kept the Red Raiders' momentum intact, while Colorado dropped to 2-3 and now faces roster and discipline questions that could affect its next Big 12 game.
