Texas Tech - Texas State Review

After Texas State's historic upset over Houston, the Red Raiders were put on upset alert by many college football beat writers. Texas Tech did not take long to put an end to any thoughts of an upset. The Red Raiders jumped out to a 28-0 lead before the Bobcats can answer, rolling to a 58-10 victory. The Red Raider offense was more than efficient as they scored on every drive but one, and did not punt the entire game.

Offensive Player of the Game: Seth Doege 
Doege was 25 of 32 for 319 yards and 5 touchdowns in less than 3 quarters of play. He was accurate the entire time he was on the field and had completions to 10 different receivers.

Defensive Player of the Game: Cody Davis 
It looked like Texas State was on their way to take the early lead before Cody Davis intercepted a pass from Shaun Rutherford and took it it 88 yards the other way to give Texas Tech the early lead. It was Texas Tech's first pick six since Jarvis Phillips had a 87-yard interception return in 2010 against Texas, nearly 2 years prior. Davis also had four tackles.

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.
