Texas Tech freshman QB Alan Bowman has record-setting day as Red Raiders defeat Houston

LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) -- Alan Bowman has a long list of prolific Texas Tech quarterbacks to chase on the career charts.

The true freshman quickly accomplished something one of his predecessors -- coach Kliff Kingsbury -- never did: a 600-yard game.

Bowman threw for 605 yards with five touchdowns -- three to Antoine Wesley who set a school record with 261 yards receiving -- and the Red Raiders beat Houston 63-49 on Saturday.

Bowman finished 43-of-59 passing for the fifth 600-yard game in Texas Tech history, and the Big 12 single-game record for a freshman. Wesley had 13 catches, his last a 33-yard TD with a defender grabbing on to him near the end zone with less than four minutes left.
