Texas Tech Stages a Late Comeback to Defeat Iowa State in Thriller

Associated Press  

Texas Tech secured a 23-22 upset over No. 11 Iowa State, marking the Red Raiders' fourth consecutive bowl appearance. Behren Morton shone with 237 passing yards and two touchdowns, while Tahj Brooks led the Cyclones with a 5-yard touchdown run. The Red Raiders overcame three false starts on their winning drive, with Morton converting a crucial fourth-and-7 pass to Josh Kelly. Iowa State, seeking its first 8-0 start, fell short of that mark, failing to find enough points despite multiple scoring opportunities. The poll implications are significant, with Iowa State's loss potentially dropping them significantly in the AP Top 25.
