Texas Tech vs. Arkansas: Red Raiders football notebook
Human Hogs
Going into Saturday’s Texas Tech-Arkansas game, the Razorbacks had gone eight games in a row without allowing more than 21 points. Tech ended that streak less than five minutes into the second half.
A 2-yard touchdown run by Patrick Mahomes II and the PAT gave Tech a 28-21 lead on the first series of the second half.
The last time Arkansas had allowed more than 21 points was in a 45-32 loss to then-No. 10 Georgia on Oct. 18.
Back end shakeup
Redshirt freshman linebacker Dakota Allen made his first career start for Texas Tech in Saturday’s game. He replaced Kris Williams, who started the first two games. Tech also opened with a cornerback pairing of Tevin Madison and J.J. Gaines.
