Saturday, the Texas Tech football team took care of business in a major way shutting out Lamar 77-0 at Jones Stadium. The Red Raiders dominated the inferior Cardinals for the entirety of the game never once letting the underdogs spark a flicker of hope.
Playing without a number of key contributors, the Red Raiders had more than enough firepower to handle the Cardinals. Starting quarterback McLane Carter (ankle), safety Jah’Shawn Johnson (shoulder), left tackle Travis Bruffy (ankle) running backs Da’Leon Ward (groin) and Tre King (knee) all sat out Saturday to nurse nagging injuries.
Still, Texas Tech scored on its second drive of the game when Alan Bowman hit Ja’Deion High on an 11-yard touchdown pass to go up 7-0.
