At Jones AT&T Stadium, home to the Red Raiders, fans witnessed their team's offensive unit put up an exceptional performance. Quarterback play was pivotal as Texas Tech amassed an impressive 441 passing yards with a completion rate of nearly 80 percent and three touchdowns through the air. The longest pass completed stretched for 37 yards and contributed significantly to their first down tally of 23 via passing plays.
The ground game was not left behind as it also proved effective for the home team; they rushed for over a hundred yards and matched their aerial touchdown count with another trio on the ground. A highlight was undoubtedly one rush that broke free for an electrifying run of 34 yards straight into the end zone.
