Texas Tech Gets 4 Second-Half Takeaways To Beat Colorado in Road Conference Opener

Twelfth-ranked Texas Tech overcame a halftime deficit on Saturday night by capitalizing on four second-half interceptions, rolling to a 29-7 victory against Colorado. Joey McGuire's squad improved its record to 5-0 overall and notched its second conference win after stringing together twenty-nine unanswered points following a sluggish start.

Quarterback Will Hammond completed seventeen of twenty-six attempts for 134 yards and a touchdown, connecting frequently with tight end Terrance Carter Jr., who hauled in eight passes for 67 yards and a score. Colorado quarterback Isaac Wilson threw for 292 yards and a touchdown in his first start of the season, but his three interceptions during the third period derailed the offense after the Buffaloes had seized an early 7-3 lead behind head coach Deion Sanders' opening game plan.
