Jett Duffey's mistake keeps Texas in the game; Longhorns catch break for next week as Iowa State's star RB gets ejected

The scouting report on Texas Tech quarterback Jett Duffey is that he's fully capable of the big play -- and the big mistake. After leading Tech to a touchdown on a well-crafted opening drive Saturday, Duffey had Tech inside the Texas 10 on the next drive. After a bad snap and under pressure, Duffey tried to unload the ball out of bounds. Instead, Texas' Davante Davis intercepted the under-thrown ball along the sideline. Instead of likely falling behind by double figures early, Texas scored the next 17 points to lead 17-10 at halftime.

-- Texas will apparently not have to face standout Iowa State running back David Montgomery in the first half next week.
