Texas Tech- Northwestern State Review

Defensively, this is one of the most encouraging game I've seen in some time. The Red Raiders held the Demons to 13 rushing yards and 84 yards overall. The 44-6 victory was the first time Texas Tech held an opponant without a toucdown since the 2007 season opener when they defeated SMU 49-9. It was also the fewest points they have held an opponent to since defeating SMU 35-3 in the 2006 season opener. The offense did it's job but as usual there were some questionable play calls by Neal Brown.

Offensive Player of the Game: Bradley Marquez
With Darrin Moore and Javon Bell out, Marquez started in their place. He lead all receivers with 7 catches and 92 yard, including several third down conversions.Both were career highs for Marquez.

Defensive Player of the Game: Kerry Hyder
Hyder only had 3 tackles but he also had 2 pass deflections and caused problems for Northwestern State all night. Hyder was in the backfield contently and was key in causing penetration in the offensive line.
