Morton throws for 3 TDs, LB Rodriguez scores on offense again and Texas Tech whips WVU 49-0

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- , James Brown's “I Feel Good” reverberated through the Texas Tech locker room after the Red Raiders put a cap on their best regular season in 17 years. Behren Morton threw for 310 yards and three touchdowns, linebacker Jacob Rodriguez scored his second offensive TD in as many games, and No. 7 Texas Tech beat West Virginia 49-0 on Saturday in the Red Raiders’ final tuneup before the Big 12 championship game. Texas Tech (11-1, 8-1 Big 12, No. 5 CFP) had already clinched a spot in the title game against No. 11 BYU in Arlington, Texas, when Arizona State lost to Arizona on Friday night. But the Red Raiders had plenty of motivation, needing a win over the Mountaineers to continue their trajectory toward at least hosting a first-round home game in the College Football Playoff.
