From the Press Box: Texas Tech upsets Iowa State with 62-yard game-winning field goal
The Texas Tech Red Raiders wins thriller over the Iowa State Cyclones with a 62-yard field goal from Jonathan Garibay to earn bowl eligibility.
LUBBOCK – A breakout performance by redshirt freshman quarterback Donovan Smith provided Texas Tech with a 41-38 upset win over Iowa State on Saturday night inside Jones AT&T Stadium. New head coach Joey McGuire watched from a suite as his Red Raiders earned their six wins and bowl eligibility. Smith threw for 322 yards and three touchdowns on 25 of 32 passing. He also added 50 rushing yards in the game.
Iowa State stormed back from a 31-17 halftime deficit to tie the game at 38 with one minute remaining in the game. Smith engineered the Red Raiders into field goal position, and field goal kicker Jonathan Garibay made a 62-yarder as the time expired to provide Texas Tech its sixth win. That win makes Texas Tech bowl eligible, which will be valuable for McGuire and his staff to evaluate the current roster with extra practices.
