LAST TIME OUT: TEXAS TECH 45, NORTHWESTERN 38 DALLAS (AP) - Taylor Potts threw four touchdown passes and scored another on a trick play, and Eric Stephens ran 86 yards for a TD to carry Texas Tech to a 45-38 victory over Northwestern in the inaugural TicketCity Bowl. The Red Raiders (8-5) led by 22 points early in the second half, then had to sweat it out. The Wildcats (7-6) got within a touchdown twice in the fourth quarter, with freshmen quarterbacks Evan Watkins and Kain Colter combining to lead three straight touchdown drives and Jordan Maybin returning an interception 39 yards for a score with 5:37 left. The game wasn’t decided until the final play, a heave by Watkins that was intercepted. Northwestern remains winless in a bowl since 1949. The Wildcats have lost eight in a row, including three straight close ones. It turned out to be quite a contest - 927 yards of total offense and an inspired comeback by the Wildcats. There were all sorts of oddities and game-changing plays, from a flubbed hold on an extra-point kick to Tech coach Tommy Tuberville trying an onside kick while leading 38-17 late in the third quarter. Soon, Northwestern was within 38-31. Potts held them off, though, going 43 of 56 for 369 yards. He ran twice for 19 yards, 13 coming when he threw the ball to Austin Zouzalik on the right side of the field and Zouzalik threw it back to him. Potts scored easily behind a convoy of blockers. The throwback was ruled a lateral, so it went down as a rushing play.
