Texas Tech defeats previously undefeated Iowa State with a late TD

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Behren Morton drove Texas Tech 71 yards for the winning touchdown with 20 seconds left, and the Red Raiders denied No. 11 Iowa State its best start in program history with a 23-22 upset on Saturday.

Tahj Brooks' 5-yard touchdown run came after the Cyclones took their first lead on Rocco Becht's 44-yard touchdown pass to Carson Brown with 2:11 left.

Brooks ran 25 times for 122 yards, surpassing 4,000 yards in his career. He has rushed for over 100 yards in all nine games this season.

The Red Raiders (6-3, 4-2 Big 12) picked up the win after losing consecutive games to Baylor and TCU. It was the highest-ranked opponent the Red Raiders have defeated since 2012 against No. 5 West Virginia.

Iowa State (7-1, 4-1) attempted its first 8-0 start and had several opportunities to do so, but failed.

Becht threw for 315 yards and two touchdowns, and Jayden Higgins caught 10 passes for 140 yards.

Morton, who left last week's game against TCU with an injury to his left (non-throwing) shoulder, was 21 of 40 for 237 yards and two touchdowns. He was intercepted twice.

The Red Raiders overcame three false starts to win, and Morton converted a fourth-and-7 with an 8-yard pass to Josh Kelly. Brooks scored the game-winning touchdown after a direct snap.

The score with 20 seconds left was their last start in regulation since their win over then-No. 1 Texas in 2008.
