THIS WEEK’S GAMETexas Tech (6-4, 3-3 Big 12) faces South Division rival and 17th-ranked Oklahoma (7-2, 4-1 Big 12) on Saturday at Memorial Stadium in Norman, Okla. Kickoff is set for 6 p.m. and the game will be broadcast nationally on FSN. Joel Meyers (play-by-play), Dave Lapham (analyst) and Jim Knox (sideline) will call the action from Norman. Texas Tech won its last outing against Baylor, 55-21, while Oklahoma edged out Texas A&M, 17-16, in College Station.

TECH SEEKS FIRST WIN IN NORMAN IN 10 YEARSTexas Tech got one monkey off its back last year by defeating Oklahoma in Lubbock for the first time since 1999. This year the Red Raiders are looking for their first win in Norman since season one of the Big 12 Conference in 1996. Oklahoma leads the series 10-3, including a 7-3 mark in Big 12 play. Tech posted wins in 2005, 1999 and 1996. Despite their close proximity, the two teams met for the first time in 1992 and have played each year since, except in 1995. The 1993 matchup came in the John Hancock Bowl in El Paso.

WRAPPING IT UP AT HOMENext week’s regular-season finale against Oklahoma State marks the fourth-straight season that the Red Raiders have concluded their schedule at home. Since the inception of the Big 12 Conference, Texas Tech has closed the regular season at home in seven of 11 seasons. Six of those came against either Oklahoma or Oklahoma State.

RED RAIDERS AGAINST THE BIG 12 CONFERENCETexas Tech holds a series lead over four Big 12 members, including Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State and Oklahoma State. Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas and Texas A&M all hold series advantages over the Red Raiders, while the series with Baylor and Colorado are tied.

BOWLED OVER AGAINThe Red Raiders qualified for postseason play for the 14th-straight season with their win over Baylor last weekend. Texas Tech is the only program of the 12 member institutions to boast an overall winning record each season since 1996. Others have finished at .500, but none have posted winning marks each of the last 11 seasons.

LEACH ONE WIN SHY OF THIRD-PLACE TIESeventh-year head coach Mike Leach has 54 wins in his career at Texas Tech and needs one more to tie former Red Raider coaching great Dell Morgan on the school’s all-time wins list. Morgan totaled 55 wins from 1941-50. Spike Dykes (1986-99) leads with 82 wins, while Pete Cawthon (1930-40) recorded 76.

TURNING POINT IN BOULDERWhen Texas Tech boarded the plane from Boulder to Lubbock, it did so with a 1-2 mark in Big 12 Conference play, its worst start in league play since 2001. At that point, the team came together and mapped out its goals and plans for the remainder of the season. The result was night and day. One of the biggest areas has been turnovers. The Red Raiders turned the ball over 11 times during the first three league games and only five in the last three.Tech’s improvement from Big 12 games 1-3 to 4-6OFFENSE 1-3 4-6 DEFENSE 1-3 4-6Scoring/gm ....................19.3 42.7 Scoring/Gm ................... 31.7 27.3Rushing/gm ....................50.0 93.7 Rushing/Gm .................203.7 107.3Passing/gm ..................338.3 464.7 Passing/Gm .................142.7 199.7Total Offense/gm .........388.3 558.4 Total Offense/Gm ........346.4 306.9

SEEING TRIPLEJoel Filani’s three-touchdown performance against Baylor marked the third time the senior wide receiver has caught three scores in a game. He did it at Iowa State three weeks ago and in Tech’s last-minute win at Nebraska last season. Filani has 22 career touchdowns and is tied on the career charts with Mickey Peters (2000-03) in second place. He is one score shy of tying the single-season mark of 13, set by current Red Raider Jarrett Hicks in 2004.

FILANI’S TURNING POINTWith a 24-14 lead and facing 2nd & 19 on the first series of the third quarter against California in the 2004 Holiday Bowl, QB Sonny Cumbie dropped back and hit WR Joel Filani in stride for a 60-yard scoring strike to give the Red Raiders a commanding lead and set the stage for Filani as the new guy among Texas Tech’s receiving elite. Filani finished the game with 144 yards on five receptions, 22 yards shy of his season yardage total of 166. Since then the Phoenix native has been one of the most consistent receivers under Mike Leach. He led the team last season with 1,048 yards and totaled eight touchdowns. Before the California game, Filani had 14 receptions in 24 career games and 175 yards.California Dreaming Before SinceReceptions/gm ............................0.6 6.1Receiving Yards/gm ...................7.3 94.4Receiving Touchdowns .................1 21Points/gm .....................................0.3 5.5

WOODS’ TOUCHDOWNS FIRST IN LEAGUE PLAYWhen Shannon Woods crossed the goal line in the second quarter on a 34-yard run against Baylor, the rushing touchdown was the first for the Red Raiders in Big 12 play this season. Woods made up for lost time. The sophomore running back scored twice more on the ground on runs of one and six yards. He finished with 125 yards on 10 carries.

QUARTERBACK PLAYING UNDER SOLID PROTECTIONThe Texas Tech offensive line is having its best season under Mike Leach as far as sacks allowed are concerned. The unit has yielded only 14 sacks on the season or 1.4 sacks per game. Last season’s group allowed 3.0 sacks per game, while the 2004 unit gave up 2.3. The previous low was 2.0 sacks per game in 2003 when QB B.J. Symons set the NCAA single-season passing yardage mark. The 2002 group allowed a record 46 sacks (3.3 per game) and the 2000 and 2001 o-lines yielded 2.3 per game each.

HARRELL JOINS EXCLUSIVE CLUB WITH RECENT PLAYBefore Saturday’s game against Baylor, only three players in school history had thrown for 1,000 total yards in back-to-back games. With his 483 yards in the win over the Bears last weekend and 519 yards against Texas, Harrell has 1,002 passing yards in the last two weekends. Additionally, he has thrown eight touchdown passes over that span.Top Two-Game Totals in School History1,247 yards – B.J. Symons vs. N.C. State and Mississippi (2003)1,039 yards – B.J. Symons vs. Oklahoma State and Iowa State (2003)1,011 yards – Cody Hodges vs. Nebraska and Kansas State (2005)1,002 yards – Graham Harrell vs. Texas and Baylor (2006)

TECH QUARTERBACKS BOAST MINOR BOWL DISTINCTIONWhen Texas Tech takes the field in this year’s bowl game, the Red Raiders will start a different quarterback for the fifth year in a row. Texas Tech will become the only school in bowl history to start a different quarterback in five bowl games in consecutive years.

FIRST HALF SCORINGThe Red Raiders have a penchant for coming out of the gates early, having scored 208 of its 324 points this season in the first half. The second quarter has been the most productive as the team has produced 125 points (12.5) in the frame. Entering the Iowa State game three weeks ago, Tech was averaging 5.9 points in the first quarter on the season, but tacked on 14 within the first eight minutes of the game, and added another 21 in the first quarter against Texas. On the flipside, Tech has scored 56 in the third and 57 in the fourth this season.

WEEKLY RANKINGS (Nov. 5)

Dave Brown unexpectedly passed away Jan. 10, 2006, and his family, friends and football family truly miss him. Dave enjoyed a 16-year career in the NFL and shared his talents and experiences with many young men throughout his 12-year coaching career in the NFL and at Texas Tech. Playing and coaching were integral parts of Dave’s life; however, he often referred to himself as a “Christian who happened to be a coach.” He most enjoyed mentoring men and helping them to put their faith in Jesus Christ. Dave encouraged all to have a personal relationship with our Lord and Savior. Dave is survived by his loving wife, Rhonda, and sons, Aaron and Sterling.

FINDING THE TIMETexas Tech is not alone in its disdain with the new clock rules this year. Several head coaches have spoken out against the changes. Here’s what Mike Leach had to say: “I think the new clock rules are stupid. It’s interesting that we talk about football, football, football, and we do what we can to have less football. TV wants shorter games, so we fit it into that deal. It’s just dumb to shorten these games that have been so good for years and years. I think [the rules committee] should...avoid disrupting ourselves and everybody around us, and tell the TV people, if they want to televise our games, we would love them to, but televise the games the lengths that they are played, not what suits them,”Then and Now Comparison 2005 2006 Diff.Plays/gm ..........................................74.7 67.6 -7.1Length/gm .......................................3:27 3:10 -0:17

OFFENSIVE LINE PROVIDES LEAGUE’S BEST PROTECTIONWhile the unit ranks in the middle of the pack among Big 12 schools in sacks allowed, the Red Raider offensive line is the best in sacks allowed-per-pass attempt. Texas Tech is yielding a sack per every 36.3 pass attempts, while the next closest is Missouri at one sack every 29.3 attempts. Additionally, Texas Tech ranks first among the nation’s top ten pass offenses in sacks allowed-per-pass attempt.Sacks Allowed Per Pass Attempt (Big 12) Sacks Allowed Per Pass Attempt (Top 10 Pass Offenses)Texas Tech .............................1:36.3 Texas Tech (3) ....................... 1:36.3Missouri ............................... 1:29.3 Purdue (5) ...........................1:27.7Texas ................................... 1:22.3 Hawaii (1) ............................1:26.0Texas A&M ......................... 1:19.7 BYU (4) .................................1:24.4Oklahoma .......................... 1:17.7 Louisville (7) .........................1:19.3Kansas State ...................... 1:16.5 Tulane (9) ............................1:18.9Kansas ................................ 1:15.1 Houston (6) ..........................1:17.3Oklahoma State ................ 1:15.1 Baylor (10) ...........................1:14.6Baylor .................................. 1:14.6 Notre Dame (8) ..................1:14.3Nebraska ............................ 1:13.4 New Mexico State (2) ........1:13.0Iowa State ............................ 1:9.2Colorado .............................. 1:8.5

HARRELL FIFTH AMONG SINGLE-SEASON PASSING LEADERSGraham Harrell eclipsed the 3,000-yard mark on the season against Texas and moved into the top five on the Tech single-season yardage list with 3,507 after throwing for 483 against Baylor. He trails Cody Hodges in fourth place by 731 yards. Additionally, Harrell’s 32 touchdown passes tie Sonny Cumbie (2004) on the single-season list in third place, while his 35 career scoring passes ranks sixth, trailing Billy Joe Tolliver (1985-88) by three.

PASSING YARDAGE AMONG SINGLE-GAME BESTSHarrell blistered the Texas secondary for 519 yards, the second-most ever allowed by a Longhorn defense, in Saturday’s 35-31 loss. With three touchdowns and 364 passing yards by halftime, Harrell already had numbers most QBs would like to have in a single game. The total ranks as the sixth-best game in Tech history and only the eighth in school history. The number also set a sophomore passing yardage record and total offense record, breaking marks set by Kliff Kingsbury (456 vs. Utah State in 2000) and Robert Hall (481 vs. Houston in 1991), respectively. Additionally, it also marks only the third 500-yard passing game nationally this season and ranks second in yardage. His 483 yards against Baylor ranks as the 11th-best single game.

TRLICA AMONG TOP SCORERSJunior PK Alex Trlica continued his move up the scoring charts with 13 points in the win over Baylor. He became Tech’s all-time leading scorer as a kicker against Iowa State, passing Lin Elliott (220 from 1988-91). In three years as Tech’s placekicker, Trlica has gathered his 245 points on 30 field goals and 155 extra point conversions. Additionally, he hasn’t missed an extra point attempt in his career. He needs eight points to pass former RB Ricky Williams in third place. Over the course of his career, Trlica is averaging 7.4 points per game and currently leads the team with 70 points.Texas Tech Career Scoring List1. Taurean Henderson, RB (2002-05) ............. 4142.

RED RAIDERS IN THE MIDST OF SCHOOL SCORING MARKTexas Tech set a new consecutive games scoring mark against TCU and extended the streak against Texas. The run began with a 16-13 win over Texas A&M on Oct. 25, 1997, a week after dropping a 29-0 decision to second-ranked Nebraska. During its current run, the Red Raiders have scored 10+ in all but five games. During the run, two Tech opponents have come close twice to ending the streak – 1) Tech scored a touchdown in the fourth quarter at Texas in 1999 after going scoreless in the first three quarters, and 2) the Red Raiders poked one in the end zone in the fourth quarter at Colorado two weeks ago after being held scoreless through the first three.Longest Scoring Streaks in School History

His sophomore season totals are the best since Ricky Williams logged 146.5 yards per game in 1998.Top Sophomore All-Purpose Seasons at Texas TechByron Hanspard (1995) ..................154.0Ricky Williams (1998) ......................146.5Shannon Woods (2006) .................143.5

FIRST AND 10In the past Texas Tech has had a knack of rolling up first downs week-in and week-out. Games with first down totals in the 30s aren’t anything new to the program – until now. Tech’s 32 first downs against Baylor is the first time this season that the Red Raiders have recorded 30+. The team had hit 29 twice (UTEP, Missouri), but never reached 30.

RED RAIDERS PASS LAST SEASON’S SACK TOTALWith its sack against Texas, the Red Raiders surpassed their sack total of 18 last season and have recorded the most since 34 in the 2003 season.

Tech also is second in the Big 12 Conference. The Red Raiders are suffocating opponents to the tune of 163.5 passing yards per game and have allowed 13 passing scores, while grabbing five of the team’s eight interceptions this season. Tech held two opponents below 100 yards. The pass defense number is the best since the 1994 season, when the Red Raiders held opponents to 147.6 yards per game.

WASTING LITTLE TIMETexas Tech leads the country with 20 touchdown drives under two minutes in length. Louisville follows with 18. The Red Raiders had four touchdown drives against Baylor under two minutes.

TIME MANAGEMENTWith 1:52 to play in the second quarter, Texas Tech took over at its on five-yard line and engineered a 95-yard touchdown drive in less than a minute and a half to take a 28-14 halftime lead. Graham Harrell hit Joel Filani on a 32-yard scoring strike in a drive that took only 1:21 to orchestrate. The distance was the most covered by the Red Raiders this season in as little time.

BACKFIELD DUO SOLID ON THIRD/FOURTH DOWNQB Graham Harrell and RB Shannon Woods lead the Red Raider charge on third- and fourth-and-1 rushing attempts. Woods has carried the ball nine times in the short yardage situation and has successfully converted six, while Harrell is 3-of-4. Additionally, WR Joel Filani has caught 13 third/fourth down passes with nine going for first downs.

TECH PUTS FINISHING TOUCHES ON NORTH SCHEDULETexas Tech closed out its schedule against teams from the Big 12 North Division with its 42-26 win at Iowa State two weeks ago. The game marked the third straight against a team from the division as the Red Raiders faced Missouri and Colorado the previous two weekends. Tech finished 1-2 against the North this year as Missouri’s win snapped a six-game win streak against the division for the Red Raiders. Tech is 32-17 against the Big 12 North.

TOUGH ROW TO HOETexas Tech’s schedule currently ranks in a tie as the 34th-toughest in the nation, with all opponents (past and future) a combined 47-39 on the season. Additionally, the Red Raiders’ next two opponents are a combined 11-6 this year. Oklahoma State and Texas lead the Big 12 and are tied in ninth place, while Texas A&M is 28th.

A LOT OF WORK TO DOTexas Tech ranks third among Big 12 members with at least eight wins in each of the last four seasons. Texas leads the group with eight, while Oklahoma has done it in the last six seasons. Currently, the Red Raiders have six wins with two games to play at Oklahoma and at home against Oklahoma State.

TEXAS TECH HAS 40 WINS OVER RANKED OPPONENTSOver the course of Red Raider history 40 wins have come against ranked opponents. Tech’s last win over a ranked opponent came against then-No. 4 California in the 2004 Pacific Life Holiday Bowl (45- 31). The Red Raiders closed the 2004 season with consecutive wins over ranked teams, including the regular-season finale over then-No. 23 Oklahoma State (31-15).

LEACH AMONG SHUTOUT LEADERSIn seven seasons as head coach, Mike Leach has delivered seven shutouts, including the 62-0 win over SLU. The total represents the most shutouts for a Texas Tech head coach since Dell Morgan’s 20 blankings from 1941-50. Tech posted five shutouts during Leach’s first three seasons, before reaching the sixth against Baylor last year.

BUILD IT AND THEY WILL COMEOne result behind Mike Leach’s construction of one of the nation’s most powerful offensive attacks is increased attendance. Prior to his arrival in 2000, the season record for average attendance was 46,083 set during the 1979 season. In Leach’s second season at Tech in 2001, Tech set a school mark of 46,101. The program topped the mark in 2003 (49,608) and again in 2004 (52,823). The mark in 2004 reflected a 101 percent capacity for the stadium. Tech is averaging 51,957 this season. During the previous six seasons, Tech averaged 47,148 in attendance, compared to 38,266 in the six seasons prior to that (1994-99). The attendance of 52,913 against SLU marked the sixth-straight game that 50,000-plus Red Raider fans have made their way to Jones AT&T Stadium (52,882).Top seasons Top games2004 – 52,823 56,168 vs. Texas (2006)2005 – 50,972 55,755 vs. Texas A&M (2005)2003 – 49,608 55,413 vs. Texas (2004)2001 – 46,101 55,008 vs. Texas A&M (1977)1979 – 46,083 54,187 vs. Texas (1976)

ATTENDANCE MARK FALLS FOR SECOND SEASON IN A ROWFans came out in droves to see Texas Tech’s game against Texas, setting a new single-game attendance record for the Red Raider program. The crowd of 56,168 eclipses the old mark of 55,755, set last season against Texas A&M.

TEXAS TECH SCORING UNDER LEACHThe Red Raiders set a new scoring margin standard under Mike Leach with its 62-0 win over Southeastern Louisiana. The program’s 60-point margin of victory against Nebraska in 2004 was the previous high. Overall, the 62-point stretch ranks just outside the top ten all-time scoring margins at Tech. Additionally, Texas Tech has scored 30 or more points in 51 games during the Leach era and has won 43 of those games. The Red Raiders are 20-3 under Leach when scoring 40+ and 17-0 when scoring over 50. On the flip side, Tech is 10-24 when scoring 29 points or less.

TECH SIXTH IN WINNING SEASONSEntering this season, Texas Tech is one of six schools nationally that currently has 11 or more consecutive seasons with a winning record. The Red Raiders are tied with Miami (Ohio) with 11, while Florida State

HARRELL FINDS SILVER LINING AT IOWA STATEAfter combining for nine turnovers against Missouri and Colorado, Harrell returned to form against Iowa State, blistering the Cyclone defense for 368 passing yards and a career-high six touchdown passes. Harrell struck quick and often in the first quarter, completing 7-of-11 passes for 76 yards and two touchdowns. He connected with WR Joel Filani three times on the day, H Danny Amendola twice and RB Shannon Woods once. Harrell did not commit a turnover in the game and was steady throughout, hitting nine different receivers, not including himself; Harrell caught a batted pass.

WELCOME TO QUARTERBACK U.Texas Tech’s offense did a complete one-eighty when Mike Leach took over as head coach in 2000. Once a powerful rushing machine that produced two Doak Walker Award winners in the ‘90s, the offense has become one of the nation’s most prolific passing units over the last six seasons. Leading the charge has been a group of quarterbacks that has consistently been among the national leaders in nearly every passing category year-in and year-out. Kliff Kingsbury (1999-02) and B.J. Symons (2000-03) were both Davey O’Brien candidates and each won the coveted Sammy Baugh Trophy during their respective senior seasons. Sonny Cumbie (2001-04) and quarterback Cody Hodges (2002-05) along with Symons comprised the starting quarterbacks each of the last three seasons. Despite taking over the offense as fifth-year seniors, each did an admirable job of running the show.Texas Tech quarterbacks year-by-year under Leach2000 Kliff Kingsbury 3,418 yds / 284.3 ypg / 21 TD / National leader2001 Kliff Kingsbury 3,502 yds / 318.4 ypg / 25 TD / Nation’s leader2002 Kliff Kingsbury 5,017 yds / 358.4 ypg / 45 TD / National leader2003 B.J.

DEFENSE SCORES FIRST TD ON PICK RETURN SINCE 2003When senior LB Fletcher Session grabbed a first-quarter interception against Texas and returned it for a touchdown, it marked the first time since the SMU game in 2003 that Tech had returned a pick for a touchdown. Session’s INT gave the Red Raiders a 21-0 first-quarter lead.

DEFENSE SHUTS BAYLOR DOWNThe Red Raider defense held the Baylor Bears to their lowest offensive output of the season at 217 yards in Saturday’s win. The Bears met resistance throughout the day on the ground, managing 20 yards on 28 carries. Baylor also struggled through the air with 197 passing yards, including a long of 57.

LINEBACKER TURNED RECEIVERSenior LB Brock Stratton accomplished something he hadn’t done since his freshman season in 2003 – record an interception. Not only did the team captain grab a first-half pick against Iowa State that led to Tech’s second first-quarter touchdown, he also snagged a pass in the fourth quarter that set up the Red Raiders’ final touchdown. Stratton finished the game with five tackles and a quarterback hurry. He also is third on the team with 52 tackles this season.

PAPER OR PLASTIC?Texas Tech rang up a season-high six sacks against Baylor. The previous best was five apiece against Southeastern Louisiana and Iowa State. The defensive line has accounted for a bulk of the sacks this season, led by DE Keyunta Dawson’s seven. DT Dek Bake, DE Jake Ratliff and DT Brandon Williams have four each.

PASS DEFENSE RISES AGAINThe one constant on the defensive side of the ball this season has been the pass defense. While the unit as a whole has been solid, the secondary continues to make opposing offenses one-dimensional. The group ranks 17th nationally.

PARKER, McBATH LEADING THAT PASS DEFENSEJunior CB Chris Parker and sophomore S Darcel McBath have been outstanding additions to the starting lineup in the secondary this season. Both players tie for the team lead with two picks apiece, with Parker picking up his second against Missouri. McBath also has five pass breakups and is third on the team with 62 tackles. Parker has 29 stops this season. Additionally, safety Joe Garcia leads the team with 65 tackles, while Tech’s other starter in the secondary, senior CB Antonio Huffman, has 50 tackles.

DAWSON DOMINANT THIS SEASONSenior DE Keyunta Dawson is anchoring a defensive line that is in the midst of one of its best seasons. Dawson is fifth on the team with 49 tackles, has six tackles for loss and seven sacks. He also has three fumble recoveries this season, two forced fumbles and nine quarterback hurries. Along with DE Jake Ratliff, the duo has 12 quarterback hurries between them and 11 sacks.

TRANSITION A GOOD ONE FOR RATLIFFDE Jake Ratliff has been active since assuming a starting role on the defensive line this season. Recruited as a defensive tackle, Ratliff saw little time on the defensive front during his redshirt freshman season a year ago. Starting in place of Seth Nitschmann, who made his season debut off the bench against SLU, Ratliff has logged 40 tackles, second among defensive linemen, including six for loss. His biggest play of the season to-date came in overtime at UTEP when he batted a pass on the Miners’ first overtime possession, leading to a Tech interception and eventually the win. The 6-foot-8 Ratliff has three pass breakups on the season and three forced fumbles.

DEFENSIVE LINE TECH’S MOST SEASONED GROUPTexas Tech’s starting front four has combined for 108 career starts, led by senior NT Chris Hudler’s 38. DT Ken Scott (29), DE Keyunta Dawson (31) and DE Jake Ratliff (10) make up the number.Unit starting totalsDefensive Line ..............108Offensive Line ...............101Receivers .........................78Linebackers .....................63Secondary.......................62Backfield .........................21

GARCIA EMERGINGJunior S Joe Garcia has stepped up this season as the Red Raiders’ leading tackler with 65 stops, not only making plays in the secondary, but around the line of scrimmage as well. He posted a career-best 13 tackles in the win at Texas A&M. Garcia also has three tackles for loss.

TOOGOOD NOT GIVING THE OPPOSITION A CHANCESenior K Keith Toogood has kicked off 54 times this season with 36 going for touchbacks. Three of his four kicks against Baylor went down as touchbacks as did five of six against Texas. He blasted all seven kicks through the end zone in the win at UTEP and had nine of 11 touched back against Southeastern Louisiana. Kicking into a stiff wind at Texas A&M, Toogood managed two touchbacks on six kickoffs. Three of his four kickoffs against Missouri were touchbacks, while two at Iowa State went through the end zone.

AMENDOLA AMONG TOP THREE PUNT RETURNERSJunior PR Danny Amendola moved into third place on the career punt return yardage list against Texas A&M, surpassing Tech great Tracy Saul (1989-92). Amendola moved past Saul with a 16-yard return late in the first half that helped set up a last-minute touchdown that gave Tech a 24-14 lead. He has 975 punt return yards in his Texas Tech career.Texas Tech Top Five Punt ReturnersWes Welker (2000-03) ..................NCAA Record – 1,761Tyrone Thurman (1985-88) ...................................... 1,466Danny Amendola (2004-present) ............................ 975Tracy Saul (1989-92) ................................................... 902Dane Johnson (1994-97)............................................ 876

PUNTING GAME FLOURISHING IN REYES’ SENIOR SEASONPreseason Ray Guy Award candidate and Red Raider senior P Alex Reyes is having a career season, averaging 44.9 yards per punt on 34 punts. Of the 34, six have gone for touchbacks, 11 were fair caught and 12 were downed inside the 20.

TEAM CAPTAINS FOR 2006In a vote by their peers prior to the final Sunday workout of the preseason, OL Manny Ramirez, WR Joel Filani, LB Fletcher Session, LB Brock Stratton and DE Keyunta Dawson were selected team captains for the 2006 campaign.

MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHINGAt this time last season, instead of the focus being on the 2005 edition of the Red Raider Football team, much of the attention was directed toward Texas Tech’s schedule. With two of the three non-conference opponents coming from the Division I-AA level, many criticized the scheduling practices of the program. Once again, proof that the Big 12 Conference is one of the toughest, if not the toughest, conferences in the country is in the fact that Texas Tech wrapped the season with the 10th-strongest schedule in Division I, according to the NCAA.

TOP OF THE CLASSEight members of the Texas Tech football team are playing with degrees in hand this year. That total is tied third nationally with Miami (FL), behind Auburn (11) and Notre Dame (9). Among Big 12 schools, Nebraska is next with five. Joel Filani, Gabe Hall, Chris Hudler, Antonio Huffman, Glenn January, Brandon Jones, Seth Nitschmann and Keith Toogood have all walked on graduation day.

GRAD RATES AMONG BEST - AGAINTexas Tech’s football program boasted an 80 percent graduation rate for the 2000-01 freshman class, marking the sixth-consecutive year the program has been recognized by the American Football Coaches Association. With the AFCA standard graduation rate at 70 percent, Texas Tech was one of four Big 12 Conference football programs acknowledged by the organization (Baylor, Iowa State and Nebraska).

DOWN...SET...I DO!Six Red Raiders have found marital bliss before the end of their playing careers at Texas Tech. The most recent is OL Manny Ramirez, who married the former Iris Castillo in July. Chris Hudler, David Schaefer, Brock Stratton, Paul Williams and Tyler Yenzer also have tied the knot.

FROM THE CROW’S NESTTexas Tech’s coaches in the press box this season are Lyle Setencich (defensive coordinator), Dana Holgorsen (co-offensive coordinator/inside receivers), Brian Mitchell (cornerbacks) and Seth Littrell (running backs), along with offensive and defensive grad assistants Lincoln Riley and Ryan Aycock, respectively. That leaves Mike Leach (head coach), Charlie Sadler (defensive ends), Carlos Mainord (safeties), Ruffin McNeill (special teams/defensive tackles), Sonny Dykes (co-offensive coordinator/wide receivers) and Bill Bedenbaugh (offensive line) on the field.

TRUE FRESHMEN SEE ACTION EARLYNine members of the Texas Tech signing class saw action in the opener against SMU, including eight true freshmen. Junior college transfer Ofa Mohetau was lone upper classman in the signing class that played. S Jamar Wall, S Blake Collier, S Steven Harris, LB Marlon Williams, TE Adrian Reese, DE Brandon Williams, DT Rajon Henley, DT Dan’Tay Ward and DT Richard Jones all made appearances. RB Baron Batch was the 10th true freshman to see action when he stepped into the lineup at UTEP.


TEXAS TECH HEAD COACH MIKE LEACH

Texas Tech’s Mike Leach has six seasons under his belt on the South Plains as head coach of the Red Raider football program. His career record at Tech is 54-32. During his seven seasons at Tech, he has transformed the face of Red Raider football. His Tech eams have four-straight NCAA passing titles and two NCAA total offense titles. Two of his three starting quarterbacks at Tech, Kliff Kingsbury and B.J. Symons, both were taken in the 2003 and 2004 NFL Drafts, respectively. Leach came to Tech in 2000 after installing an Oklahoma offense in 1999 that went on to win the National Championship the following season. He was instrumental in the recruitment and development of OU All-American Josh Heupel and assisted in the recruitment of Heisman winner Jason White. Leach got his coaching start under current Tech defensive coordinator Lyle Setencich in 1987 at Cal Poly SLO, when Setencich was the head coach there. Following a year coaching the offensive line at Cal Poly, Leach coached the linebackers for a season at the College of the Desert. His first head coach stint came during the 1989 off-season in Pori, Finland, in the European Football League. Additionally, Leach has coaching stops at Iowa Wesleyan (1989-91), Valdosta State (1992-96) and Kentucky (1997-98). While at UK, Leach coached NFL Draft pick Tim Couch.

TEXAS TECH 35, SMU 3

LUBBOCK, TEXAS (AP) - Graham Harrell threw for 342 yards and five touchdowns in his first start for No. 25 Texas Tech and the Red Raiders beat SMU 35-3 on Saturday night.

It was offense as usual for the Red Raiders, whose quarterbacks have led the nation in passing the past four years. Harrell threw TD passes of 8, 12, 14, 45 and 3 yards, two more scoring strikes than he threw all last season as the backup in Tech’s high-octane aerial offense.

SMU’s secondary couldn’t stop Tech’s passing attack, even though the Red Raiders (1-0) were without Jarrett Hicks, one of their leading receivers who is awaiting word from the NCAA on an appeal of his academic eligibility.

Harrell’s favorite target was Robert Johnson, a quarterback turned receiver who caught two touchdowns and finished with 139 yards on 15 catches. His showing broke a Tech record for most receptions in a game set in 2002 by Wes Welker (14) in the Red Raiders 42-38 win over then-No. 3 Texas.

The five touchdown passes by Harrell, who holds the Texas high school record for touchdown passes in a season with 67, bested first-outing performances by his four predecessors. Cody Hodges had four TD in his debut last year, as did Sonny Cumbie the year before. B.J. Symons had three and Kliff Kingsbury threw two.

Harrell’s 45-yard scoring pass went to Danny Amendola late in the third quarter to put Tech up 28-3.

Harrell, who completed 34-of-49 passes, showed poise even as the Mustangs pressured him with numerous blitzes. Though he ran a couple of times, he seemed more comfortable hanging in the pocket until he found an open receiver.

SMU (0-1) jumped in front with a field goal and had a good opportunity to pull within 11 points early in the second half. Blake Warren nearly returned a punt for a touchdown but was tackled by Tech punter Alex Reyes at the Red Raiders’ 26.

Four plays later, after first-time starting quarterback Justin Willis fumbled the snap and lost 9 yards, the Mustangs missed a field goal from 49 yards to trail 21-3.

SMU finished last season on a three-game win streak, but the Mustangs faded as the game wore on. They got only 64 total yards and four first downs in the second half. Tech held SMU to 189 total yards.

Tech unveiled its new FieldTurf surface to fans. Gone is the tired AstroTurf - Tech was one of the last schools in the country with the surface - and the crown over the center of the field that aided in drainage. Also missing was the running track that used to encircle the field.

The school also built a low, brick wall around the perimeter of the field area to match the facade on the stadium’s west side.

TEXAS TECH 38, UTEP 35 (OT)

EL PASO, Texas (AP) -- Alex Trlica’s 49-yard field goal hit the left upright and bounced through the posts, giving No. 24 Texas Tech a 38-35 overtime victory over Texas-El Paso on Saturday night. It was a fitting ending to a crazy night at the Sun Bowl, and it ended a marathon contest that never seemed to finish when it should have. Graham Harrell threw for 376 yards passing and two touchdowns and Joel Filani had 10 receptions for 169 yards and one score for the Red Raiders (2-0). On the first OT possession, Texas Tech stopped the Miners (1-1) at the 6 when Darcel McBath intercepted a batted throw by quarterback Jordan Palmer. Two plays later, it seemed over after Harrell connected with Robert Johnson on a 20-yard TD play. But the Red Raiders were flagged for holding, and officials added another penalty for excessive celebration after the apparent touchdown -- pushing Texas Tech back to the 43. Two plays later, Trlica trotted out for the decisive field goal and pinballed it home. The Miners had tied it at 35 when Palmer threw a 39-yard scoring pass to Johnnie Lee Higgins Jr. with 1:04 remaining. Higgins made the catch in the middle of the field and curled into the right corner of the end zone. But then just when it seemed overtime was imminent, the Miners -- who didn’t have any penalties in last weekend’s win at San Diego State -- blundered by committing two defensive penalties with no time on the clock. A roughing-the-passer call against defensive tackle Zach West and another penalty for having 12 men on the field gave Texas Tech a fourth-down play at UTEP’s 34, but Trlica’s 51-yard field goal try sailed wide left. Palmer, younger brother of Heisman Trophy winner Carson Palmer, completed 34-of-51 attempts for 334 yards and three TDs and two interceptions. Harrell was 40-of-52 with one interception. It was a festive night until the end for the crowd of 51,827, the largest ever to see a UTEP home opener and the fourth largest in school history. And leave it to UTEP coach Mike Price to spring a few surprises in a wild second half. The Miners scored on a 41-yard flea-flicker pass from Florida State transfer Lorne Sam to Joe West in the second quarter, and Sam got UTEP within 24-19 when he lined up at quarterback and scampered for a 9-yard TD on a draw in the third quarter. On the ensuing kickoff, Higgins lined up on the right end -- in front of Texas Tech’s sideline -- and corralled an onside kick that set up Palmer’s 3-yard TD pass to Jake Sears for a 25-24 lead late in the third. Moments later, UTEP had the ball again at Texas Tech’s 47 after an interception by Quintin Demps. Nine plays later, the Miners led 28-24 after Reagan Schneider’s 36-yard field goal on the first play of the fourth period. Trlica answered on the next possession, kicking a 26-yard field goal to keep the Red Raiders within 28-27 with 9:51 remaining. And after the defense forced a UTEP punt, Texas Tech led 33-28 when Shannon Woods scored on a 9-yard run. Harrell found Robert Johnson in the back of the end zone for a 2-point PAT that put the Red Raiders up 35-28 with 7:10 to play.

TCU 12, TEXAS TECH 3

FORT WORTH, TEXAS (AP) -Defensive end Tommy Blake and some of his TCU teammates got together two days before playing Texas Tech and watched the tape of the Red Raiders’ 10-touchdown assault against them two years ago. TCU got the ultimate revenge Saturday, holding No. 24 Texas Tech’s pass-happy offense without a touchdown in a 12-3 victory - two years after the Red Raiders won 70-35 in the last meeting between the former Southwest Conference rivals. “We gave them too much. We wanted to pitch a shutout,” TCU coach Gary Patterson said. “We’ve been waiting for this one for a long time.” Chris Manfredini kicked four field goals and TCU (3-0) won its 13th straight game. His longest kick was 34 yards, and the last was a 23-yarder with 4:19 left. TCU’s winning streak is the longest in NCAA Division I-A, and one short of the school record. The record streak included the Frogs’ undefeated national championship in 1938, when quarterback Davey O’Brien won their only Heisman Trophy. The only other time the Red Raiders (2-1) didn’t score a touchdown in Mike Leach’s 79 games over the last seven seasons was in a 56-3 loss to Nebraska in 2000, the coach’s first year. They scored less than 10 points only one other time, a 42-7 loss at Texas in 2001. “I’ll be nice about that and politically correct like you’re supposed to,” Leach said. “But that was the sorriest offensive effort I’ve ever seen. Today, I coached the worst offense in America.” Texas Tech had only 242 total yards, and its opening drives of both halves ended on failed fourth-down conversions. Quarterback Graham Harrell fumbled twice after being sacked and there was also a blocked punt. Two years ago in Lubbock, the only other time the two teams have played since the SWC disbanded after the 1995 season, the Red Raiders overcame a 21-0 deficit and handed TCU its most-lopsided loss in Patterson’s six seasons. Since that debacle, TCU has gone 4-0 against Big 12 teams. The Horned Frogs won at No. 7 Oklahoma in its 2005 opener, finished last season against Iowa State in the Houston Bowl and won at Baylor in this year’s opener. “People have been underselling our kids for years. All everybody wants to talk about is the Big 12,” Patterson said. “I get tired of being treated like a stepchild in this state and in this town, and our kids do too. ... I have a lot of respect for Mike Leach and his staff. Don’t get me wrong. The bottom line is, I’d like to get a little bit here at TCU.” Jeff Ballard was 13-of-23 for only 101 yards but ran nine times for 66 yards, improving to 11-0 in his starts. Only Sammy Baugh (12) has won more consecutive starts at quarterback for TCU, but Ballard’s have come in his first 11 since taking over last season. After Manfredini’s last field goal, the Red Raiders had one more chance - and Harrell had completions of 21 and 20 yards to move them to the Frogs 34 before he was sacked by Brian Bonner and fumbled on fourth down with 2:11 left. TCU went ahead to stay after Manfredini’s second kick, a 33-yarder midway through the second quarter. That came seven plays after Chase Ortiz sacked Harrell and stripped the ball. Cody Moore recovered for the Horned Frogs. Harrell completed passes of 21 and 33 yards to start the next drive and quickly get to the 15 before Tech stalled. Alex Trlica, whose wobbly field goal in overtime beat UTEP last week, kicked a 27-yard field goal. Harrell, the fifth starting quarterback for Tech in five seasons - and the first underclassman in that span - was 23-of-47 for 204 yards. He completed 74 of 101 passes (73 percent) for 718 yards and seven touchdowns in his first two starts. Without being specific, Leach said there would be some changes on offense. Harrell, a third-year sophomore, beat out redshirt freshman Chris Todd in a close preseason competition.

TEXAS TECH 62, SELU 0

LUBBOCK, TEXAS (AP) - Graham Harrell threw for 245 yards and four touchdowns - all in the first half - as Texas Tech beat Division I-AA Southeastern Louisiana 62-0 Saturday night.

Tech scored on six of its first seven possessions and the game was out of reach by the end of the first half with Tech up 42-0.

Harrell was replaced in the second half by backup Chris Todd, who completed a 48-yard pass to Jarrett Hicks on his first play. It was the first game back for Hicks, Tech’s top receiver. He missed the first three games before the NCAA granted him an academic eligibility waiver Friday.

Three plays later, Shannon Woods scored on a 5-yard run to put Tech up 49-0.

After Tech’s Danny Amendola returned a punt 51 yards to the Lions 22, L.A. Reed caught a Todd pass around the 10 and ran it in for Tech’s eighth TD.

The Lions (1-3) allowed 106 yards rushing and 403 yards passing, and their offense sputtered throughout. Southeastern Louisiana finished with only seven first downs and 119 total yards.

The Lions’ longest drive came in the first quarter and lasted only nine plays.

The Red Raiders (3-1) were trying to rebound from last week’s measly offensive outing in a 12-3 loss to TCU. Tech had more total yards in the first half Saturday night (315) than it got the whole game (242) against the Horned Frogs.

Harrell was flustered last week by TCU’s pressure, but this time he threw touchdown passes of 9, 5, 7 and 6 yards. He completed 20 of 29 passes, and Todd was 10-of-12 for 151 yards.

The TCU loss knocked the Red Raiders out of the Top 25 and Tech coach Mike Leach promised to make changes for what he called the “sorriest offensive effort” he’d ever seen. For the first few plays, he kept receivers Joel Filani, Robert Johnson and Todd Walker on the sideline.

Once they got in, though, they made their presence known. Walker caught a 9-yard pass from Harrell on Tech’s first possession, and Filani caught touchdown passes of 5 yards and 7 yards in the first half.

The shutout was Leach’s seventh and is the most for a Tech coach since Dell Morgan, who had 20 from 1941-50.

TEXAS TECH 31, TEXAS A&M 27

COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS (AP) - Graham Harrell threw three touchdown passes to Robert Johnson, including the game-winner with 26 seconds left, and Texas Tech beat Texas A&M 31-27 on Saturday.

Tech trailed 27-24 when Johnson outleaped A&M cornerback Jordan Peterson to make an acrobatic catch in the front corner of the end zone, stunning the crowd of 85,979. He also had TD catches of 21 and 5 yards in the second quarter for the Red Raiders (4-1, 1-0 Big 12). Texas A&M fell to 4-1, 0-1.

Joel Filani also caught a TD pass from Harrell. Filani had 10 catches for 156 yards.

The Aggies’ final 15 plays from scrimmage were clock-eating runs and Layne Neumann’s 32-yard field goal with 2:12 left gave A&M a 27-24 lead.

That was plenty of time for the Red Raiders to answer, though they needed help from the replay official.

On the third play of their final drive, receiver Danny Amendola bobbled a Harrell pass and officials on the field ruled that A&M linebacker Mark Dodge had made a diving interception.

But the play was reviewed and replays showed the ball hit the ground first. Replay official Terry Turlington overruled the field ruling, correctly calling the pass incomplete.

Five plays later, Johnson made the winning catch.

Tech outgained A&M 433-353 and won at Kyle Field for just the third time in its last 11 visits.

Kerry Franks returned a kickoff 99 yards for a touchdown and Jorvorskie Lane rushed for 77 yards and another score for the Aggies. Stephen McGee went 9-for-20 for 103 yards.

Tech safety Darcel McBath picked off McGee’s first pass at the A&M 32, the first interception thrown by McGee in 91 attempts this season. The Raiders drove to the A&M 18, but settled for Alex Trlica’s 33-yard field goal.

Franks took the ensuing kickoff, sidestepped a Tech defender and kicker Keith Toogood and ran untouched to the end zone. It was A&M’s first kickoff return for a TD since 2003 and the longest since Sirr Parker’s 100-yarder against Texas in 1996.

The Raiders drove to the Aggies’ 7 on their next drive, but as Filani reached for the goal line after a catch, nose tackle Marques Thornton swatted the ball away and linebacker Matt Featherston recovered.

Filani took a short pass on Tech’s next possession, broke free of Peterson and sprinted for a 54-yard touchdown.

The Aggies chewed up more than seven minutes on their answering drive and Lane scored on a 2-yard run, his 11th TD of the season.

Johnson’s first two TD catches came late in the second quarter, capping drives that were both aided by roughing the passer penalties.

The Aggies consumed six more minutes with a 14-play drive in the third quarter but came away with only Layne Neumann’s 30-yard field goal.

On A&M’s next possession, Lane shed three tackles on a 21-yard run that spurred a 99-yard drive. Chris Alexander ended it with a game-tying, 4-yard TD run with 8:44 left.

MISSOURI 38, TEXAS TECH 21

LUBBOCK, TEXAS (AP) - Chase Daniel threw for 171 yards and a touchdown, and Missouri returned two interceptions for scores as the 23rd-ranked Tigers beat Texas Tech 38-21 on Saturday to start 6-0 for the first time in 33 years.

Though Daniel led the offense, it was Missouri’s defense that set up most of the scoring. Four turnovers by - two interceptions and two fumbles - by Tech quarterback Graham Harrell led to 28 points for the Tigers, who came into the game ranked No. 10 in the nation in total defense.

Xzavie Jackson and William Moore scored on interception returns on consecutive Texas Tech possessions in the second quarter.

Daniel, who returned to Texas where he played high school football in the Dallas area, really didn’t have to do much. But his dual threat kept Tech’s defense guessing. The Birthday Boy completed 15-of-22 passes and threw one interception and ran for 34 yards.

Harrell, who came into the game ranked fourth in the nation in total offense and was the hero in last week’s dramatic 31-27 win over Texas A&M, appeared flustered by the Tigers’ blitz. Texas Tech coach Mike Leach even benched him for a series following the second of consecutive interceptions.

Missouri (2-0 Big 12) got up 24-0 before Texas Tech (4-2, 1-1) crossed the 50. The Red Raiders scored a two touchdowns before halftime and appeared to have momentum turned around. But Missouri stiffened and allowed only one score in the second half.

Harrell’s second fumble came early in the second half and gave the Tigers good field position at Tech’s 44-yard line. Daniel threw a 36-yard pass to Will Franklin and Tony Temple ran 8 yards for a touchdown on the first play of the fourth quarter to give the Tigers their winning margin.

Harrell completed 39-of-55 passes for 342 yards and three touchdowns.

Missouri’s defense pressured Harrell early, forcing a fumble at the Red Raiders 12-yard line on the first play of Tech’s second possession. DeMarcus Scott recovered the ball and four plays later Temple put Missouri up 10-0 on a 1-yard run.

Missouri’s defense got better in the second quarter.

Jackson got the first Missouri defensive score on a screen pass over the middle by Harrell and the defensive end lumbered 17 yards into the end zone untouched to give the Tigers a 17-0 lead.

Harrell’s pass to Robert Johnson near the sideline was picked off by Moore who scampered 22 yards to put Missouri up 24-0.

On Tech’s next series, Harrell was replaced by backup quarterback Chris Todd, who got the Red Raiders across midfield for the first time in the game. But Harrell returned on the next possession to a sprinkling of boos from fans.

He silenced them quickly, though, completing 4-of-5 passes, including a 30-yard touchdown to whittle Tech’s deficit to 24-7.

It was then Daniel’s turn to make a first-down mistake. Tech cornerback Chris Parker intercepted Daniel’s pass at the Tech 41, and Harrell led the Red Raiders down the field for a touchdown. He threw a 6-yard pass to Joel Filani with 1:27 remaining in the half to draw Tech within 24-14.

COLORADO 30, TEXAS TECH 6

BOULDER, COLO. (AP) - Colorado snapped a 10-game losing streak and Dan Hawkins earned his long-awaited first win with the Buffaloes, a 30-6 victory over Texas Tech on Saturday.

The win allowed Colorado to end one of the longest losing streak’s in the program’s 117-year history.

Mason Crosby had three field goals, including 56- and 53-yarders. Crosby has 12 field goals from 50 yards in his career and it’s the third time he’s kicked two of that distance in the same game.

Hugh Charles finished with 119 yards on 17 carries. It’s the most yards against Texas Tech’s defense this season. Bernard Jackson rushed for 54 yards - including a 1-yard sneak for a score with 3:27 left - and threw for another 151 yards and two touchdown passes.

Charles had a 74-yard touchdown run negated in the third quarter when officials ruled he stepped out at the 39. The Buffs settled for Crosby 53-yard field goal with 4:06 remaining in the period to give Colorado a 23-0 lead going into the fourth quarter.

The last time Texas Tech was shut out through three quarters was Sept. 29, 1999, against Texas. The Red Raiders ran only three offensive plays in Colorado’s territory through three quarters.

Texas Tech kept its string of scoring in 111 straight games alive with Danny Amendola’s 11-yard touchdown reception from Graham Harrell, who didn’t start the second half due to a fumble and interception in the first. The 2-point try was no good, making it 23-6.

Harrell finished 26-for-39 for 236 yards and three interceptions.

Colorado’s defense held Texas Tech to just 31 yards rushing. The Red Raiders were averaging 84.

Crosby’s 56-yard field goal in the second quarter was the second-longest kick in Division I this season. Oregon’s Alex Serna had a 58-yarder on Sept. 30.

Harrell’s turnover troubles followed him to Boulder. He had two in the first half. Texas Tech inserted freshman Chris Todd for the first two series of the second half, but the offense sputtered and Harrell was put back in.

Harrell, who had two fumbles and a pair of interceptions last week in a 38-21 home loss to Missouri, threw two more interception after taking over for Todd, including one to Thaddaeus Washington in the closing seconds of the game. He finished 14-for-24 for 105 yards.

Colorado safety Ryan Walters had a pair of interceptions, the first two of his career.

Harrell overthrew his receiver with 2:30 remaining before halftime and Walters picked it off. The Buffs drove down the field only to come up with a 26-yard field goal by Crosby, which gave Colorado a 20-0 lead at halftime.

Jarrell Yates’ first career catch - a 29-yard touchdown from Jackson - gave Colorado a 14-0 lead with 12:55 left before halftime.

Colorado scored on its opening possession when Jackson found tight end Riar Greer for a 28-yard touchdown. The Buffs have scored on their opening drive in every game except against Georgia, where they had a field goal blocked.

TEXAS TECH 42, IOWA STATE 26

AMES, IOWA (AP) - Texas Tech quarterback Graham Harrell threw for 368 yards and a career-high six touchdowns and the Red Raiders beat Iowa State 42-26 Saturday, snapping a two-game losing streak.

Harrell, a first-year starter, threw five interceptions in losses to Missouri and Colorado and was briefly pulled in each of those games. But against one of the nation’s worst secondaries, Harrell found his stride operating the Red Raiders’ complicated passing offense, completing 31 of 40 throws.

Joel Filani caught three touchdown passes and Danny Amendola added a pair of TD receptions for Texas Tech (5-3, 2-2 Big 12).

Bret Meyer threw for 146 yards for Iowa State (3-5, 0-4), which lost for the fifth time in six games.

It’s a good thing Harrell played so well, because Texas Tech committed 14 penalties and muffed two punts, allowing Iowa State to get as close as 28-26.

Bret Meyer capitalized on the first fumbled punt with a 10-yard TD run. Harrell answered on the next series with a 9-yard TD pass to Amendola, but the Red Raiders dropped another punt late in the first half, leading to a 23-yard field goal by Iowa State’s Bret Culbertson.

Filani then extended an Iowa State drive with a penalty for roughing the kicker, and Jason Scales answered with a 5-yard TD run to cut Texas Tech’s lead to 28-26.

But Harrell hit Shannon Woods for a 32-yard touchdown to push the lead back to nine, 35-26. Any chance Iowa State had for a rally was snuffed out by Brock Stratton, who picked off Meyer for the second time late in the fourth quarter.

Harrell sealed the win with a 16-yard touchdown pass to Filani.

Texas Tech scored touchdowns on its first two possessions to jump ahead 14-0 midway through the first quarter.

Filani caught a screen pass, followed a group of blockers down field and broke right for a 30-yard touchdown to open the scoring. Stratton then picked off pass by Meyer and took it back to the Iowa State 35, and Harrell found Filani again, this time for a 7-yard touchdown.

Meyer hit Ben Barkema with a 5-yard TD pass to get Iowa State on the board, and Culbertson - backed by a stiff wind - buried a career-long 52-yard field goal to bring the Cyclones within 14-10.

TEXAS 35, TEXAS TECH 31

LUBBOCK, TEXAS (AP) - Colt McCoy threw for 256 yards and four touchdowns, and No. 5 Texas erased a three-touchdown deficit to beat Texas Tech 35-31 on Saturday night.

The Longhorns (8-1, 5-0 Big 12) won their 20th straight conference game and 17th consecutive road game, but didn’t take their first lead until early in the fourth quarter when McCoy threw a 28-yard touchdown to Quan Cosby to make it 35-31.

Tech (5-4, 2-3) had chances in the final 6:14. Twice the Red Raiders failed on fourth downs inside Texas 35. Both plays - a completion to Joel Filani and a quarterback sneak by Graham Harrell - came up just short and were reviewed but the officials’ spots were upheld.

The second opportunity came after Jamaal Charles fumbled for a second time, this one coming at his own 24, and Tech’s Jake Ratliff recovered. But Tech failed to take advantage of the turnover when Harrell’s sneak came up short.

Harrell completed 42-of-62 passes for 519 yards and three touchdowns. He threw one interception, his first since throwing five in games against Missouri and Colorado.

Texas put more pressure on Harrell in the second half, enabling the Longhorns to hold the Red Raiders scoreless. Harrell had been nearly perfect in the first half. He got the Red Raiders inside the Texas’ 20-yard line only twice in the second half.

Jarrett Hicks had his best game of the season with nine catches for 156 yards.

McCoy, who completed 21-of-31 and threw one interception, has thrown 24 touchdown passes this season, leaving him two shy of school season record shared by Chris Simms and Vince Young.

Turnovers nearly doomed Texas, which fumbled five times and lost three.

Tech jumped out to a 21-0 lead in the first quarter, helped along by a fumble recovery by Blake Collier on Charles’ first fumble. He was hit at the Red Raiders’ 25.

Harrell went to work quickly. He completed passes of 32, 23 and 12 yards before hitting Eric Morris for a 3-yard score to put Tech up 14-0 midway through the period.

It got worse for the Longhorns. Deep in his own territory, McCoy threw an interception - only his fourth this season - right into the arms of Fletcher Session, who lumbered 19 yards to give the Red Raiders a three-touchdown lead.

The Longhorns went to their running game and scored on their next two possessions and caught a break when Scott Derry forced a fumble after Joel Filani caught a 15-yard pass. A penalty gave Texas the ball at the Tech 45 and on the first play McCoy threw a touchdown pass to Limas Sweed to cut the deficit to 24-21.

In the first half Texas gave up 10 plays of 16 yards or longer, the longest a 40-yard pass from Harrell to Hicks on a drive that ended with a field goal by Tech.

The Longhorns’ pass defense looked feeble as it gave up more yards in the first half (364) than they have in any game this season.

TEXAS TECH 55, BAYLOR 21

LUBBOCK, TEXAS (AP) - Graham Harrell threw for four touchdowns -- three of them to Joel Filani -- and 483 yards to lead Texas Tech to a 55-21 win over Baylor on Saturday.

It was the second straight week Harrell has put up big passing numbers. Last week he threw for 519 yards in Tech’s loss to Texas.

Baylor freshman Blake Szymanski made his first collegiate start, struggling at times to move the Bears (4-6, 3-3 Big 12). He completed 16 of 30 passes for 196 yards with an interception and a touchdown. He ran for two 3-yard scores.

Harrell threw to 10 different Tech receivers, but Filani was by far his favorite target. He caught touchdowns of 4, 32 and 76 yards and finished with 212 yards on eight catches. He had 120 of those in the first half; he came into the game averaging 89.3 receiving yards, 12th in the country.

It was Filani’s third career three-touchdown game and second this year. The first was in a 42-26 win at Iowa State.

Szymanski replaced Shawn Bell, the nation’s No. 4 passer, who is out for the season after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee during the fourth quarter of Baylor’s 31-21 loss to Texas A&M last week.

Harrell was 35-of-52 with one interception and was replaced by backup Chris Todd with Tech leading 52-21 midway through the fourth quarter. Tech (6-4, 3-3), not known for a strong running attack, got a career-high 125 yards on 10 carries from Shannon Woods, whose previous best was 104 yards against SMU early in the season.

Tech had a season-best 682 total yards.

The Red Raiders had the game in hand by halftime, leading the Bears 28-14.

Baylor had kept it fairly close early on. A fourth-down try by Tech late in the first quarter translated into a quick score for Baylor. On fourth-and-5 from Baylor’s 44, Harrell was hurried and threw an incompletion. On the first play after taking over on downs, Szymanski hit Trent Shelton along the sideline for a 56-yard touchdown to tie it 7-7.

The Bears’ only lead, 14-7, came early in the second quarter on a 3-yard run by Szymanski. The score came one play after Baylor defensive back James Todd intercepted a Harrell pass and returned it 25 yards.

The Red Raiders took control by scoring three touchdowns in the last eight minutes of the first half. Woods started the spurt with a 34-yard run to tie the score, and the first two Harrell-to-Filani touchdowns put Tech ahead for good.

Baylor’s Daniel Sepulveda had two 60-yard punts and set an NCAA record with his 89th punt of longer than 50 yards. Brian Smith of Mississippi had 86 from 1983 to ‘86. The 60-yarders were the 20th and 21st of Sepulveda’s career.
