Everything Texas Tech accomplished against the stellar LSU defense was due to Mahomes’ ability to elude the overpowering Tiger pass rush and make plays down field while scrambling. Jakeem Grant set a Texas Tech bowl record with three receiving touchdowns. – LSU QB Brandon Harris completed 13-of-22 passes for 254 yards and a score with a pick, and ran three times for 41 yards and a touchdown.
After Texas Tech drove 70 yards to the LSU 16, safety Rickey Jefferson wrestled momentum back to the Tigers again when he intercepted Tech quarterback Patrick Mahomes at his 1-yard line and returned it 21 yards.
LSU head coach Les Miles, center, celebrates with defensive tackle Christian LaCouture (91) and cornerback Tre’Davious White (18) after defeating Texas Tech in the Texas Bowl NCAA football game Wednesday, Dec. 30, 2015, in Houston.
Mahomes completed 28-of-56 throws for 370 yards with four touchdowns and one interception but, if possible, his performance out-shined his numbers. I thought they fought hard. “And it was a special moment for me to see hi finally get the ball and score”.
NOTES: Fournette’s 2-yard touchdown run in the first quarter tied him with tailback LaBrandon Toefield for most touchdowns in a season with 19.
Fournette pummeled Texas Tech defenders and went over 200 yards for the fourth time this season.
LSU also moved into Texas Tech territory on a 15-yard pass interference penalty and also punted just outside field goal range.
Fournette was the Heisman Trophy frontrunner through the first two months of the season, before a 31-yard disaster against Alabama derailed his chances.
James Butler scored on a 4-yard run with 1:06 left and Nevada benefited from a late gaffe by Colorado State to beat the Rams 28-23 in the inaugural Arizona Bowl Tuesday night.
LSU opened as a six-point favorite in this one and the over/under was set at 60.5 points.
Lsu Tigers rank at 53 for scoring 30.7 points where as Texas Tech Red Raiders rank at 122 for allowing 40.3 scores. The Tigers were able to gash the Red Raiders with big pass plays and a heavy dose of Fournette to ensure a win over them.
Fournette, who already broke the LSU single-season rushing record earlier this season, now also holds the program record for most touchdowns in a season. “In the offseason, we have to get better”.
“We’ve got a bunch of offensive skill players coming back”, Kingsbury said.
This was about as good of a game LSU could have had to close out the year, beating down a thoroughly outmatched foe.
U sophomore wide receiver D.J. Chark of Alexandria touched the ball for the first time in a game in his career on an end around. Texas Tech (7-6) finished with 29 yards on the ground.
And Chark wasn’t an unknown to Tiger Nation, there was a lot of hype around his name going into the season, he just needed his opportunity and he got it.
