Texas Tech took a 13-0 halftime lead over BYU in a bruising defensive game, leaning on a revived ground attack while quarterback Behren Morton played through a hairline fibula fracture. Cameron Dickey and J’Koby Williams combined for 100 rushing yards, with Williams’ 43-yard burst setting up a field goal and Morton finding Caleb Douglas for a 9-yard score. BYU extended drives with the run but squandered chances: a muffed punt gifted points, a false start stalled a series, and elite kicker Will Ferrin hooked a 51-yarder. Morton, sacked four times, has 134 passing yards at the break.
