Texas Tech Dominates Oregon State 45-14 in Week 3
Texas Tech overwhelmed Oregon State 45-14 on Saturday, with the Red Raiders controlling the game from start to finish. The home team scored touchdowns in each of the first three quarters, building a commanding lead that Oregon State could not overcome.
Behren Morton led the Texas Tech offense with 464 passing yards, connecting with receivers early and often. Morton found Caleb Douglas for a 61-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter and connected with J'Koby Williams on a 30-yard touchdown in the second quarter. Cameron Dickey led the ground game with 77 rushing yards for the Red Raiders.
Oregon State remained scoreless through three quarters before mounting a fourth-quarter comeback that proved too little, too late. Maalik Murphy threw a 26-yard touchdown pass to Karson Boschma in the final frame, with Trent Walker leading the Beavers' receiving corps with 67 yards.
The Red Raiders' defense made critical plays throughout, including an interception by Brice Pollock in the third quarter. Texas Tech's 31-point margin easily covered the 24-point spread, while the game finished under the 61.5-point total.
