Behind a consistent running attack and some miraculous plays by Jakeem Grant, Texas Tech claimed a rare road victory against the Texas Longhorns on a rain-soaked Thanksgiving night. In the process, they crushed the Longhorns 2015 bowl game aspirations, and snapped an eighteen-year streak of being winless in the state’s capital.
Five Hits from Texas Tech vs. Texas:
- Pound the Rock — DeAndre Washington’s 173 yards and two touchdowns powered the Texas Tech offense throughout the game, and was absolutely crucial in breaking down the Longhorn defense. The dreary weather and less than ideal game conditions pointed to the running attack being leaned on heavily in the Texas Tech offense and Washington did not disappoint.
