Commentary: Win over UT gives Tech lifetime of memories

LUBBOCK — They’ll remember it forever, the perfect finish. Joy and exhaustion and disbelief.
Texas Tech players may need a few days to grasp it all, to understand how it happened. Sometimes a game delivers everything it’s supposed to and then some. This one did.

When it ended, Texas players stood there, stunned, defeated, unable to muster the energy to leave. They were so close.
Texas Tech 39, Texas 33.
In the end, Texas Tech made one more play than Texas. That was the difference between Nos. 1 and 6.
Texas will remember that it made mistakes it doesn’t normally make. Maybe that’s why Colt McCoy slammed his helmet to the turf as he was leaving the field.
