Texas Tech dominated West Virginia from start to finish in this Big 12 contest, establishing control early with two touchdown passes from Seth Doege in the first quarter—a 39-yarder to Jace Amaro and a 19-yarder to Eric Ward—to jump out to a 14-7 lead despite West Virginia's quick response with a Geno Smith touchdown pass to Stedman Bailey. The Red Raiders' offense continued its onslaught in the second quarter, scoring four times in less than ten minutes: Marcus Kennard caught a 16-yard TD, Darrin Moore hauled in a 2-yard score, and SaDale Foster ripped off a 53-yard rushing touchdown to build a commanding 42-7 halftime advantage. West Virginia's defense had no answer for Doege and the Tech passing attack, and though Doege threw an interception to Karl Joseph late in the first quarter, it was one of only two turnovers for the Red Raiders on a night when they controlled the line of scrimmage and converted just enough third downs to sustain drives. Texas Tech's dominance was complete, adding another Doege-to-Moore TD in the third quarter to secure the lineal championship with a 49-14 rout.
