Texas Tech: TD— Danny Davis (@aasdanny) November 29, 2019
Looks like a rather simple route here by Tech's Carter. Brandon Jones slow to react in zone coverage. pic.twitter.com/9fzUVQOHzx

Tech scores again to make it 14-0 but Texas responds with a touchdown, making it 14-6 after a botched PAT in the first quarter.
Touchdown Tech. Thompson just dashes around right end for the score. Too easy from 10 yards out. Red Raiders now up 14-0. 4:14 left in 1Q.

Ehlinger following two blockers, including Roschon Johnson, and bulls his way over for a 10-yard TD run.
— Kirk Bohls (@kbohls) November 29, 2019
Ehlinger gets his first rushing TD in five games. But watch Johnson here. It's not a textbook block, but definitely gets the job done. pic.twitter.com/wkZOdGzKOt

It looked like Tom Herman tried to call a timeout but decided to just let Texas run a play after the referee didn't initially see him. Sam Ehlinger then scores on a 10-yard run and Texas has its first first-quarter touchdown since the Kansas game. #HookEm

Into the second quarter, the Longhorns found the end zone again and evened the score at 14 after a successful two-point conversion.
Touchdown Texas. Ehlinger with a 33-yard bomb to Duvernay, then Danny Young punches it in from 3 yards out. Sam is 7-for-7 at the moment. Horns going for 2.

Texas chases the points and it works. Devin Duvernay with the two-point grab and we have a tie game at DKR. #HookEm
— Danny Davis (@aasdanny) November 29, 2019
Both sides exchanged touchdowns, with Duvernay tying the game at 21 with another touchdown.
Touchdown Texas. Ehlinger to Duvernay, a strike for 75 yards. One play. As @craigway1 says, say good night to this one.
— Brian Davis (@BDavisAAS) November 29, 2019
On that 75-yard touchdown catch, Devin Duvernay joined Jordan Shipley (116 in 2009) and Kwame Cavil (100 in 1999) as the only Longhorns to catch 100 footballs in a single season. #HookEm pic.twitter.com/xJV0Kg5e6C

Pretty good time for Texas to score on the longest offensive play of the year. A 75-yarder to Duvernay. pic.twitter.com/06a6wXXxUx

Texas took its first lead of the game, 28-21, in the second quarter.
Touchdown Texas. RoJo with a 2-yard run in off RT. No problem there. Johnson now has 52 yards, and Horns have their first lead, 28-21. 1:22 before half.
— Brian Davis (@BDavisAAS) November 29, 2019
The Longhorns added to the lead in the third quarter after another touchdown pass from Sam Ehlinger.
Touchdown Texas. Ehlinger with a high throw to Jake Smith… yes, Jake Smith! That's a big-time catch from 26 yards out. Texas now up 35-21.
— Brian Davis (@BDavisAAS) November 29, 2019
Jake Smith's sixth touchdown catch gives Texas a 35-21 lead with 8:52 left in the third quarter. Roy Williams, who scored eight times in 2000, is the only freshman who has caught more touchdowns in UT's history. #HookEm
— Danny Davis (@aasdanny) November 29, 2019
Texas on a 21-0 binge to take control with a 35-21 lead on Tech.
— Kirk Bohls (@kbohls) November 29, 2019
Notice the concentration here by Jake Smith. Horns now up by 14. pic.twitter.com/hhirBOT1Rq

— Brian Davis (@BDavisAAS) November 29, 2019
A third touchdown from Johnson extended the lead to 49-24 in the fourth quarter for Texas.
Touchdown Texas. RoJo with a 1-yard run after it looked like he first crossed over on the previous play. Horns scramble to the line before refs can think about it. UT up 49-24.
