Texas Tech Red Raiders Tie Scoring Record

LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) — Behren Morton threw four touchdown passes and ran 10 yards for another score as Texas Tech tied a school record with 52 points in the first half of a 66-21 victory over North Texas on Saturday. Bralyn Lux returned an interception 44 yards for a touchdown and Coy Eakin had a 70-yard TD catch as the Red Raiders (2-1) scored seven touchdowns in a span of 13 minutes starting late in the first quarter.

Game Highlights

• Texas Tech's offense executed flawlessly.
• Defense shone with three interceptions.
• The first half performance matched the record set in 2005.

Morton didn’t play after halftime, finishing 15 of 19 for 273 yards without an interception after his two picks were among four Texas Tech turnovers in a 37-16 loss to the Cougars. Morris, who also had three interceptions in last week’s game, didn’t play the fourth quarter and finished 15 of 27 for 162 yards and two touchdowns.

Looking Ahead

• Tight competition looming in Big 12 games.
• Next week, Texas Tech faces Arizona State in conference play.

Fans left the stadium feeling confident, a significant improvement after a narrow win earlier this season. Texas Tech now looks to build on this momentum as they prepare for their upcoming challenges.
