Will Hammond played in his return from last season's knee injury as No. 12 Texas Tech defeated Abilene Christian 33-10 in their season opener. The quarterback completed 298 yards and a touchdown on Saturday night. Running backs Quinten Joyner and J’Koby Williams scored in the first quarter, but Texas Tech's defense didn't allow another touchdown until Hammond's 64-yard pass to Malcolm Simmons with just seconds remaining.
Alex Broome's 98-yard kickoff return for a touchdown made it 10-7 for Abilene Christian. Stone Harrington kicked four field goals for the Red Raiders, who finished the season with 12 victories and claimed their first Big 12 title.
