Missed extra point allows Cowboys to survive.
Mike Gundy thought Texas Tech would go for two. So did Cowboys defensive coordinator Glenn Spencer.
“Oh, yeah,” Spencer said.
The Red Raiders had already faked a punt and tried – and recovered – an onside kick, with seemingly little lose in a season that's hit the skids, five losses in six games now after Saturday's 45-44 loss to Oklahoma State.
So when running back Quinton White barged in from the 1 to pull Tech within a point with 1:44 remaining, the gambling Red Raiders could have gone for two, and perhaps the win.
