AMES, Iowa (AP) — Behren Morton drove Texas Tech 71 yards for the winning touchdown with 19 seconds left, and the Red Raiders denied No. 11 Iowa State its best start in program history with a 23-22 upset Saturday.
Tahj Brooks's 5-yard touchdown run came after the Cyclones had taken their first lead on Rocco Becht's 44-yard touchdown pass to Carson Brown with 2:11 to play.
“I’m so proud of this football team,” Texas Tech coach Joey McGuire said. “It’s a huge win for us because we get bowl eligible and it keeps us in the mix.”
Brooks ran 25 times for 122 yards to go over 4,000 for his career. He has gone over 100 yards in all nine of his games this season.
