Texas Tech beats No. 22 Texas 37-34 after Bijan Robinson's fumble on the first play of OT

Texas Tech beat No. 22 Texas 37-34 in overtime after star Texas running back Bijan Robinson fumbled on the first play of overtime.

Texas forced overtime as time expired in regulation on a field goal by Bert Auburn. But any hope the Longhorns had of coming back to win the game was dashed when Robinson was hit at the line of scrimmage after a handoff and the ball popped free.

The Red Raiders got inside the Texas 10 on the first play of their possession and Trey Wolff kicked the game-winning field goal. Wolff had appeared to kick a game winner with 21 seconds to go in regulation, but Tech’s exceptionally soft defense after the field goal helped Texas get into Auburn’s field goal range.

Tech quarterback Donovan Smith was 38-of-56 passing for 331 yards and two touchdowns. The Red Raiders were especially aggressive on fourth downs against the Longhorns and it paid off. Tech converted six of eight fourth down attempts — the most the school has ever converted as a member of the Big 12.
