For over 30 minutes of game time it looked like a repeat of the Arizona game for the Texas Tech offense. They failed to put more than six points on the board, struggled to convert on third down, and made simple mistakes that killed promising drives. Everything seemed to be going wrong until R.J. Turner caught a tunnel screen and took it 79 yards inside the Baylor 20, which directly led to a Sarodorick Thompson touchdown two plays later. The offense collected over 300 yards in the second half, however the yardage only resulted in 14 points due to an interception in the redzone, a 4th down failure, and a generally slow paced Baylor offense.
