Defense showed up when it mattered most in an epic victory for the good guys!

Looking at the box score it would be hard to try and convince you that Texas Tech’s defense was a big reason they won this game. The first half was easily the worst half of the season as they couldn’t seem to stop the Longhorns from doing what they wanted. But the second half saw Tech take advantage of the Longhorns offensive line and make some huge plays down the stretch.

Texas used Bijan Robinson in every way that they could early on, and Tech’s defense was keying on him the entire time. He was used in play-action to spring open the first touchdown of the game, and used his unique running abilities to get in the endzone twice as well.
