Story summary
On Saturday, Oct. 3, No. 12 Texas Tech defeated Colorado in a Big 12 matchup at Folsom Field in Boulder, Colorado, with a score of 29-7. Despite being the underdogs on paper after their losses to Baylor and Northwestern, the Buffaloes struggled throughout the game due to multiple mistakes, including four interceptions by quarterback Isaac Wilson and two missed field goals. Texas Tech capitalized on these errors, improving to an undefeated 5-0 for a second consecutive year. The Red Raiders' defensive performance was highlighted by linebacker John Curry’s interception returned for a touchdown. While Colorado coach Deion Sanders acknowledged the score did not reflect his team's potential, he emphasized that they would work hard to correct their mistakes and improve moving forward.
