The Tiger lead was cut to just 21-20 in the third quarter after one of Texas Tech quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ four touchdown passes, but the game wouldn’t stay that close for long. The Tigers forced Tech into numerous third-and-Mahomes situations, dragging him to the ground on occasion while on others he slipped away like a phantom. LSU virtually eliminated Texas Tech’s running game and sacked Mahomes six times, while forcing him to run for his life on the majority of his completions. “It’s a good front, it’s a good defense, they had a good scheme and they played a good game”.

Auburn beats Memphis 31-10 at the Birmingham Bowl
For the Memphis Tigers , it was the struggles of highly-touted junior signal-caller Paxton Lynch’s that made headlines. Jeremy Johnson and Auburn found a measure of redemption and, finally, something to celebrate in their season finale.
Texas Tech had already gone through some in-house moves after the regular season, parting ways with multiple defensive assistant coaches.

Miles and his coaching staff took full advantage of a poor Tech pass defense that allowed 264 yards per game against FBS opponents.
LSU sophomore quarterback Brandon Harris was 8 of 11 for 103 passing yards in the first two quarters. Mahomes led the Red Raiders down the field on a 70-yard drive after Fournette’s score. Defensively, LSU football yields 342.5 yards and 24.0 points per game.
On consecutive drives for LSU, Fournette rushed for touchdowns from 43 yards and 4 yards out.

Fournette pushed LSU’s lead to 35-20 on a 4-yard touchdown run after the interception. Harris’ highlights included a 46-yard strike to sophomore Trey Quinn that set up Fournette’s fourth score.
“[Pat] competed hard”, Kingsbury said.
The Tigers overcame an offensive pass interference penalty and first-and-21 with a 39-yard pass from Harris to Dupre. He celebrated the score with the “running off on the da plug twice” dance from a song by rapper Plies. Patrick Mahomes connected with Jakeem Grant for his second touchdown of the game.

“They haven’t seen how fast that guy is”, said senior offensive lineman Vadal Alexander. But, given the way this season has gone for the Tigers, you just didn’t know exactly how it would turn out. By the end of the third quarter, Fournette had set a Texas Bowl record for points scored by an individual and finished the day with 30 points scored for the Tigers.
