LUBBOCK, Texas -- , Thomas Castellanos threw for a career-high five touchdowns, including the go-ahead score to Kenny Johnson with 2:44 remaining, and No. 13 Texas Tech held on for a 53-48 victory over West Virginia in an old-school Big 12 offensive slugfest that ended early Sunday morning. The Red Raiders (8-1, 5-1 Big 12) stayed on track for a shot at a second consecutive conference title, and the College Football Playoff spot that would come with it, by rallying from seven points down in the fourth quarter after leading by 14 at halftime. The teams combined for 1,220 yards of offense , 894 of those before halftime , but a few defensive plays in the fourth quarter were as big as any of the game's 13 plays of at least 30 yards. The biggest was Texas Tech (No. 15 in CFP rankings) stuffing Cam Cook on third-and-1 with seven minutes remaining.
