WVU is now in huge trouble. Texas Tech's defense holds again -- forcing a punt that the Red Raiders take on their own 16. They then mount the usual length-of-the-field TD drive, which ends on a 2-yard pass from Doege to Darrin Moore of Irving, TX.
Here are the key numbers in the game so far:
Seth Doege (Texas Tech): 20-28, 317 yards, 4 TD's, 1 INT
Geno Smith (WVU): 16-26, 144 yards, 1 TD, 0 INT's.
I should emphasize that Smith doesn't look that much worse to me than usual. What's different is that the Texas Tech defense is not giving up very many yards after the catch. So WVU is not picking up the long gains that they normally enjoy, and are being forced to rely on short passes instead. Meanwhile, WVU's defense -- which is just awful -- is putting up its usual dreadful performance. The result is that the UCFC is probably headed to Lubbock.
