MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (KCBD) – While the Texas Tech Red Raiders season came to an end at Thursday’s Orange Bowl, there is one element of silver lining. Two more sacks were tallied and the Red Raiders’ vaunted defense ended the year with 41 sacks, which brings more money to the Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Southwest.
Sacks include:
1Q, first drive: OLB David Bailey sacks Oregon QB Dante Moore on third down on their own 32yd line, a loss of 12 yards, forcing the Ducks to punt.1Q, 1:21: OLB Romello Height sacks Moore on the Ducks 25, resulting in a loss of ten yards.
While the Red Raiders’ historic season has officially ended, Lubbock’s RMDH chapter is still accepting charitable donations.
