Texas Tech 49 - 14 W. Virginia (Final)

Well, that was hideous.  Texas Tech absolutely humiliated West Virginia, cruising home for a 49-14 victory to take the UCFC for the first time since 2008.  Seth Doege, the Texas Tech QB, passed for 499 yards and six touchdowns.  More importantly, Tommy Tuberville's defense actually tackled WVU's high-powered receivers, and never let the Mountaineers get into the comfortable groove throughout their time as UCFC holder.

Nevertheless, West Virginia's reign was long and honorable.  The Mountaineers won six UCFC games in a row, and their all-time record in UCFC play is a very respectable 16-8.

As for Texas Tech, the Red Raiders improve their UCFC record to 16-12, and they will take the big gold trophy to Fort Worth next week, where they will defend the title against the Texas Christian University Horned Frogs.
