LUBBOCK, Texas – – — Texas Tech kicker Three pointer Wolff had fans prepared to celebrate like they hadn’t in that frame of mind with their thought process was a game-champ in the last seconds.
Turns out they just needed to stand by somewhat longer.
Wolff kicked a 20-yard field objective in extra time, lifting the Red Plunderers over No. 22 Texas 37-34 after they conquered a two-score shortfall in the last part however neglected a lead in the last moment Saturday.

The Red Bandits (3-1, 1-0) believed Wolff’s 45-yard kick for a 34-31 lead with 21 seconds left in guideline was enough for their most memorable home success over Texas since Michael Crabtree’s somewhat late catch beat the highest level Longhorns in 2008.
The Longhorns (2-2, 0-1) had different thoughts.
Hudson Card’s 28-yard pass to Tarique Milton got the Longhorns close with six seconds remaining, and they got one more 10 yards on a fast pass with two seconds to go. Bert Coppery’s 48-yard kick as time lapsed constrained OT.

“Perceived how long they had left, so I was like, sort of dialing back the festival,” Wolff said. “We’ve been in the circumstance with Texas where we must hold on until the clock says zero, zero, zero. We did that. Fortunately we got that open door again in extra time.”
Texas Tech beat the Longhorns in a Major 12 opener without precedent for six attempts and finished a six-game home series of failures. Fans raged the field after the Crabtree-filled triumph, and trying again later Saturday after Wolff’s victor.

Robinson’s 40-yard scoring run in the second from last quarter gave Texas a 31-17 lead, however the Red Pillagers answered with their third TD drive of no less than 10 plays.
Smith kept the tying drive bursting at the seams with a reduction run for 5 yards on fourth-and-4 preceding his 19-yard pass to Baylor Cupp for a 31-31 tie halfway through the final quarter.
The Red Marauders, who likewise beat a positioned rival in Houston in extra time in their past home game fourteen days prior, changed over fourth downs on five of six scoring drives in guideline, and were six of eight by and large.
“They constrained us a tad when they got up 31-17,” McGuire said. “They were immense. On the off chance that we don’t do that, we need more opportunity to get ready to rock ‘n roll and certainly dominate the match.”
For the Longhorns, the misfortune was suggestive of the initial three games in a six-game series of failures that soured mentor Steve Sarkisian’s Texas debut last season. They had twofold digit leads in every one of the three misfortunes.
“Give Texas Tech a great deal of credit,” Sarkisian said. “They played it forcefully. Our powerlessness to get off the field was a genuine component. What’s more, we were unable to get their quarterback on the ground.”
As yet limping on occasion in light of the great lower leg sprain supported after starter Quinn Ewers hyper-extended a clavicle against No. 1 Alabama, Card tossed for 277 yards and two scores with Ewers watching in uniform on the Texas sideline.
Robinson had 101 yards and two TDs before the devastating error from the Heisman Prize confident to begin additional time.
Smith tossed for 331 yards and two scores. Myles Cost got a vocation high 13 passes for 98 yards, remembering a 5-yarder for fourth-and-3 en route to the Red Marauders’ thought process would be Wolff’s triumphant kick in guideline.

It very well may be Texas’ last outing to Lubbock relying upon whether the Longhorns leave right on time for the Southeastern Meeting in 2024. The schools are looking at proceeding with a competition that has been played for 63 continuous seasons.
“There’s an explanation they would rather not, and it happened today,” McGuire said. “Be that as it may, we ought to. It ought to be in each game. We should simply discuss income and sellouts.”
