LUBBOCK, Texas - Twentieth-ranked West Virginia produced 650 yards of offense, but it was Tony Gibson’s defense that earns the gold star today as the Mountaineers cruised to a x-x victory over Texas Tech early afternoon at Jones AT&T Stadium.
The Red Raiders (3-3, 1-2) had a streak of nine straight games of scoring more than 50 points and averaging more than 600 yards of offense at home. Tech got nowhere close to that this afternoon.
And quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who came into today’s game the nation’s No. 1-ranked passer, finished his day completing 28-of-44 passes for 305 yards and a touchdown before being lifted with 10:24 left in the fourth quarter.
