Texas Tech pulls away in fourth quarter

Friday, November 6, 2009

The Kansas Jayhawks led the Texas Tech Red Raiders 21-14 after three quarters of play last Saturday, but surrendered four touchdowns in the fourth quarter to lose 42-21. The loss dropped Kansas to 1-3 in Big 12 Conference play and 5-3 overall.

After the Red Raiders tied the game early in the fourth quarter, receiver Kerry Meier fumbled the ball after catching a pass on the Jayhawks’ next possession. The turnover gave the Red Raiders the ball deep in Kansas territory, and Texas Tech scored another quick touchdown to take the lead.

On the Jayhawks’ next drive, quarterback Todd Reesing fumbled the snap on fourth down. Texas Tech recovered the ball and ran it into the end zone to go ahead 35-21. With about seven minutes left in the game, Reesing was replaced at quarterback by freshman Kale Pick. Kansas fumbled the football five times during the game, which resulted in four turnovers.

Reesing completed 20 of his 35 attempts and finished with 181 yards and one touchdown. Junior receiver Dezmon Briscoe caught nine passes for 110 yards and one touchdown. The Texas Tech defense held senior receiver Kerry Meier to just 32 yards on three catches.

The Jayhawks’ defense held the high-powered Texas Tech offense to 358 yards and forced three turnovers.

Kansas travels to Manhattan on Saturday to play Kansas State at 2:30 p.m.
