The No. 12 West Virginia Mountaineers continued their early-season success Saturday with a 42-34 win over the No. 25 Texas Tech Red Raiders at Jones AT&T Stadium in Lubbock, Texas.
Texas Tech nearly erased a 25-point halftime deficit with 17 unanswered points in the second half, but a pick-six thrown by quarterback Jett Duffey late in the fourth quarter ended the comeback attempt.
Senior quarterback Will Grier carved up Texas Tech, going 27-of-41 for 370 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions.
The Mountaineers defense also turned in an impressive performance, holding freshman Alan Bowman to 123 yards, one touchdown and one interception on 9-of-20 passing in the first half.
