Behren Morton News: Sufficient for conference title

Morton was 20-for-33 passing for 215 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 34-7 victory against Brigham Young.

Texas Tech's first lead, which was never relinquished, came via a Morton long pass to Coy Eakin. The latter got his QB another touchdown despite a short pass outside BYU's end zone. For the College Football Playoff, Texas Tech will log a first-round bye, giving TTU additional time to prepare for either James Madison or Oregon. Morton enters the quarterfinal matchup with strong form, his last four games including 893 passing yards and a 7-0 TD-INT ratio.
