MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — It wasn’t over before it started, but it did not take long for it to be finished.
Texas Tech early scoring outburst effectively ended things at Milan Puskar Stadium before halftime Saturday afternoon, while West Virginia’s red zone ineptitude assured that all of the Red Raiders’ early work was enough to get the job done.
The Red Raiders (4-5, 2-4 Big 12) were up 25 points less than two minutes into the second quarter, cruising to an eventual 38-17 win over a listless West Virginia team. The Mountaineers (3-6, 1-5) have lost five in a row and would have to win out to reach a bowl game.
