LUBBOCK, Texas — No need to sweat a late-game kick this time. No cause for a nickel back to save the day.
Unlike its past two games, West Virginia didn’t encounter any drama against Texas Tech. It spent the final minutes enjoying a 48-17 cakewalk that coach Dana Holgorsen called “our most complete win of the year, clearly.”
The No. 20 Mountaineers went three-and-out on their first drive and never punted again, bolting out to a 24-7 halftime lead before adding scores on all four second-half possessions.
Texas Tech couldn’t keep pace, hardly resembling the nation’s total offense leader
“These guys are known for starting fast and jumping out on you,” Holgorsen said.
