Jade: Thank you, ____ and ____. It’s been a big weekend for Red Raider athletics. Let’s dive into the action, starting on the football field.

The Red Raiders put on a dominant display, keeping the Mean Green at bay with standout plays on both sides of the ball. Texas Tech football delivered a commanding 66-21 victory over North Texas on Saturday. Quarterback Behren Morton threw four touchdown passes and ran for another, leading the Red Raiders in a dominant offensive display.

The scoring blitz included a 44-yard interception return by Bralyn Lux and a 70-yard touchdown catch by Coy Eakin. Running back Tahj Brooks, back from injury, contributed 109 rushing yards and a touchdown. Texas Tech’s defense also came up strong, intercepting North Texas quarterback Chandler Morris three times, including Lux’s pick-six.
