LAWRENCE, Kan. – Jah’Shawn Johnson bailed Texas Tech out.
On a third and 6 with 4:07 remaining the sophomore defensive back intercepted Kansas freshman quarterback Ryan Willis and returned it 27 yards for a touchdown as the Red Raiders held off a late rally to defeated the Kansas Jayhawks 30-20 on Saturday at Memorial Stadium.
“(The defense) kept bailing us out,” Texas Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury said. “Offensively, that’s on me as a coach for not having them ready to go. Guys got nervous and we really choked on that side of the ball – drops and penalties and fumbles.
