Statement loss: Texas Tech surrenders 70 in all-time embarrassing defeat to rival Texas

The Texas Tech Red Raiders rode into Austin in high spirits, owners of the team’s first 3-0 record since 2017, a renewed defense and high-powered aerial attack.

They left with absolutely nothing to smile about.

In the biggest game of the season, Tech had a chance to validate its undefeated record and earn a win that would’ve been that much more special over the SEC-bound Longhorns, but that opportunity dissolved before Tech’s eyes by the end of the first quarter.

Texas amassed - or, rather, Texas Tech allowed 639 yards of total offense, including an embarrassing 336 yards on the ground.
