STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) — Behren Morton and Tahj Brooks each accounted for four touchdowns while Jacob Rodriguez made two big defensive plays to secure Texas Tech's 56-48 victory against Oklahoma State on Saturday.
The Red Raiders (7-4, 5-3 Big 12) bounced back from their previous loss to Colorado, while the Cowboys (3-8, 0-8) extended their losing streak to eight games, remaining the Big 12's lone team without a conference win.
Brooks ran for a 1-yard touchdown with 6:12 left, giving Texas Tech a lead it never surrendered. He capitalized on Drae McCray's 45-yard kick return, which allowed the Red Raiders to open the drive on their 47-yard line.
Rodriguez then spoiled OSU's chance to tie the game, recovering a fumble in the end zone as Texas Tech extended its lead to 56-42.
Rodriguez sealed the win when he intercepted a pass from OSU freshman quarterback Maealiuaki Smith, who made his first career start in place of benched passer Alan Bowman.
