Recap

Texas Tech dominated the first half behind Graham Harrell's passing attack, with Baron Batch punching in a touchdown late in the first quarter and Eric Morris hauling in an 18-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter to give the Red Raiders a commanding lead. Texas clawed back with field goals and a Jordan Shipley punt return touchdown in the third quarter, but Daniel Charbonnet's interception return for a touchdown kept Tech ahead. The fourth quarter turned into a shootout as Malcolm Williams caught two touchdown passes for Texas, including a stunning 91-yard bomb from Colt McCoy, but it wasn't quite enough as Texas Tech held on for the 39-33 upset victory to claim the belt.

Baron Batch's first-quarter rushing touchdown gave Texas Tech an early 10-2 lead after a Texas safety
Eric Morris's 18-yard touchdown reception extended Tech's advantage to 17-3 midway through the second quarter
Daniel Charbonnet's interception return for a touchdown in the third quarter pushed Tech's lead back to 10 points when Texas was surging
Malcolm Williams's 91-yard touchdown reception in the fourth quarter gave Texas a brief lead but came too late to overcome the deficit
