No. 13 Texas Tech holds on for 28-26 win over No. 22 Houston in Big 12 opener
LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) — J’Koby Williams and Cameron Dickey powered the defending Big 12 champion No. 13 Texas Tech Red Raiders to a 28-26 victory over No. 22 Houston Cougars on Friday night. Williams and Dickey each scored second-half touchdowns, while the Houston quarterback Conner Weigman missed a crucial 2-point conversion attempt in the final minute.

Quarterback Will Hammond completed 17 of 27 passes for 257 yards and a touchdown, leading the Red Raiders (3-0, 1-0) to their first home game since 1941.
