ESPN RECAP

Kickoff return, blocked punt spark Texas Tech in 49-28 win over Houston

LUBBOCK, Texas -- , A penalty didn't nullify a long kickoff return for Texas Tech this time , or the blocked punt that led to another touchdown. Drae McCray returned a kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown, Loic Fouonji blocked a punt for one of his two scores and the Texas Tech defense controlled the second half in a 49-28 victory over Houston on Saturday. The Red Raiders (2-3, 1-1 Big 12) won the first Big 12 meeting of former Southwest Conference foes despite 335 yards passing and four first-half touchdowns from Houston's Donovan Smith , their former quarterback. Behren Morton threw for two TDs in his first start after Tyler Shough sustained a long-term injury for the third consecutive season with a broken leg in Texas Tech's league-opening loss at West Virginia last week.
