Texas Tech survives Kansas' upset bid, 30-20

Texas Tech survived a furious rally from winless Kansas in the second half to hold the Jayhawks off, 30-20. Tech led 20-0 at halftime, but failed to put Kansas away until a late pick-six.

Here's more on how it happened:

What the win means for Texas Tech: The Red Raiders aren't contenders for the playoff, so style points don't matter. They won, and in the end that is all that really counts. But if Tech is going to finish strongly, it's going to have to play way, way better than it did in Lawrence. For most of the afternoon, the offense stumbled around, while the defense failed to get off the field.
