Three Thoughts: Texas Tech outclasses Houston in dominant fashion

HOUSTON, TX – The third-largest crowd in TDECU Stadium history witnessed Texas Tech (5-0, 2-0) made a statement in a 35-11 victory over the hometown Cougars. The Red Raiders controlled the tempo and the lines of scrimmage from the jump, scoring on their first five drives and forcing a fumble on Houston’s first offensive play from scrimmage. 

Houston (4-1, 1-1) lost for the first time on the year and the worst news of the night was that quarterback Conner Weigman was knocked out of the game during the first half and never returned. The Cougars had only turned the ball over once through four games. They turned it over three times in the loss.
