Texas Tech linebacker John Curry delivered the knockout blow against Colorado on Saturday night, turning an interception into a touchdown that put the Red Raiders in control.
Curry picked off Buffaloes quarterback Isaac Wilson in the end zone with 7:10 remaining, returning the interception for a touchdown and giving No. 12 Texas Tech a 22-7 lead at Folsom Field. The play capped a strong second half from the Red Raiders' defense.
Texas Tech entered halftime trailing 7-3 but forced four interceptions after the break. Brice Pollock recorded two picks, while Malik Esquerra added another before Curry's interception in the fourth quarter. The play capped a strong second half from the Red Raiders' defense.
Curry's pick came after Texas Tech pinned Colorado at its own 1-yard line. Wilson then tried to make a play from the end zone.
