Game Recap
The Texas Tech Red Raiders had a rough go of it last October when they matched up with the Iowa State Cyclones and had to endure more of the same two weeks ago. Texas Tech took a 31-15 bruising from Iowa State. The Red Raiders haven't found any success against Iowa State since Oct. 10 of 2015, this loss making it five in a row.
Iowa State can attribute much of their success to RB Breece Hall, who rushed for two TDs and 135 yards on 27 carries. QB Brock Purdy had a good game, too, finishing with two touchdowns.
No one had a standout game offensively for Texas Tech, but WR Erik Ezukanma led the way with one touchdown.
Texas Tech's defeat makes it three in a row and drags their record down to 1-3. The victory -- their third in a row -- raised the Cyclones' record to 3-1.
The Red Raiders will take on the West Virginia Mountaineers at 5:30 p.m. ET on Saturday at Jones AT&T Stadium. Texas Tech hopes being at home will compensate for the 3.5-point spread against them. Iowa State will have some time to rest before their next contest, which is against the Oklahoma State Cowboys at 3:30 p.m. ET on Saturday at Boone Pickens Stadium. With a combined 1,109 yards of offense in their previous games, we can expect a fast-paced game.
