Defensive struggles, pass protection trip up Longhorns in overtime loss to Texas Tech in...
Texas Tech's Baylor Cupp scores a touchdown during the second half of Saturday’s game against Texas in Lubbock.LUBBOCK - All offseason, Texas preached on why things would be different from a year ago.
“We didn’t play good enough to win today,” Texas coach Steve Sarkisian said. “Too inconsistent offensively. We struggled to protect the quarterback and win on first down in the second half. Defensively, our inability to get off the field was a real factor. I’m disappointed on our end.” The Red Raiders went for it on fourth down eight different times. Even more striking: They converted four attempts in the second half and six overall.
Overall, Smith completed 38 of 56 passes for 331 yards with two touchdowns while recording 42 yards and another score on the ground. In the first half, Card bounced back from an interception by hitting Worthy for a 39-yard touchdown. He also connected with running back Keilan Robinson for a 35-yard touchdown on Texas' opening drive.
“When I did cut up the linebacker came and when he hit me the ball just slipped out,” said Robinson, who’s lost just three fumbles in his career. “That’s just a mistake on me and I just gotta live with it and pray on it.”
