WACO, Texas – Texas Tech got 170 yards rushing from Tahj Brooks to help the Red Raiders to a 39-14 win over Baylor football, on Saturday night at McLane Stadium.



Baylor quarterback Blake Shapen passed for 324 yards and a touchdown, but the Bears dropped their third home game of the season and fell to 2-4 overall and 1-2 in the Big 12.



In his second-straight and sixth career start, Tech redshirt sophomore quarterback Behren Morton threw for 180 yards and three touchdowns and rushed for another one to lead the Red Raiders (3-3, 2-1) to their second-consecutive win.



Monaray Baldwin, who played a huge role in Baylor's comeback win over UCF, provided the biggest highlight for the Bears with a 71-yard touchdown pass from Shapen that made it a two-score game early in the fourth quarter, 24-11.



But the Red Raiders answered right back, going 65 yards in eight plays and scoring on an 18-yard TD run by Brooks, who rushed for 170 yards on 31 carries.



Baldwin added a 39-yard grab on Baylor's next series, but the Bears had to settle for Isaiah Hankins' second field goal of the night, this one from 33 yards. And Tech closed out the scoring with Morton's 10-yard TD run to make it 39-14.



Tech led 17-3 at the break on Morton TD passes of 13 yards to Coy Eakin and a 16-yarder to tight end Baylor Cupp. The Bears' lone first-half score was a 33-yard field goal by Hankins in the second quarter, coming after a fumble recovery by Garmon Randolph.

Cupp scored again on the Red Raiders' second possession of the second half, catching an 18-yard pass from Morton to cap a 13-play, 85-yard drive after another failed fourth-down play by the Bears.

Off next week, Baylor will go back on the road for just the second time to face Big 12 newcomer Cincinnati (2-3, 0-2) on Saturday, Oct. 21. Idle this weekend, the Bearcats will host Iowa State next Saturday, Oct. 14, before welcoming Baylor to Nippert Memorial Stadium for the first time.
