LAST TIME OUT: TEXAS TECH 45, KANSAS 34 Oklahoma State 1-0 4-0 W5 LAWRENCE (AP) - Seth Doege passed for 366 yards and three touchTexas 1-0 4-0 W4 downs and Eric Stephens rushed for 124 yards and scored twice, helping Texas Tech 1-0 4-0 W7 Texas Tech come roaring back from a 20-point deficit and beat Kansas Baylor 0-1 3-1 L1 45-34 Saturday in both teams’ Big 12 opener. 0-1 3-1 L1 Doege, who threw three touchdowns the week before against Nevada Iowa State 0-1 2-2 L2 and set an NCAA record with a 90.9 completion percentage against New Kansas 0-1 2-2 L1 Mexico, was 29 for 46. The 6-foot-1 redshirt junior, playing his first full Missouri 0-1 2-2 L2 season since high school in 2005, was also intercepted for the first time Texas A&M this season but still turned in another virtuoso performance for the Red Raiders (4-0) to remain among the country’s top passers. Kansas’ Jordan Webb, who also came into the game without an interception in his first three games, was picked off three times and each turnover led directly to a Texas Tech TD. Doege connected with Eric Ward on a 40-yard scoring pass, found Jacoby Franks for a 13-yard TD toss and made it 45-27 late in the third quarter with an 18-yard touchdown pass to Ward, who had 71 yards on four catches. The Jayhawks (2-2) parlayed a bevy of big plays into 191 yards and three touchdowns on their first 15 plays of the defensivelychallenged day. But then Doege and the Red Raiders got hot, scoring 24 unanswered points before Kansas got a 19-yard touchdown pass from Webb to Rell Lewis to take a 27-24 lead after a first half that lasted just 9 minutes short of 2 hours. The Red Raiders, off to their first 4-0 start since beginning 10-0 in 2008, unleashed a 21-0 third-quarter blitz to salt away their 12th victory in 13 meetings with the Jayhawks. Stephens tallied on runs of 8 and 1 yards before Ward’s final touchdown catch following Cquilin Hubert’s interception.
