Texas Tech Pours It On Again in 63-7 Win

Taurean Henderson ran for 141 yards and three touchdowns, and No. 19 Texas Tech rolled to another runaway Saturday night in defeating Division I-AA Indiana State, 63-7, at Lubbock, Texas.

The Red Raiders were coming off an 80-21 win over Sam Houston State, another I-AA school.

Henderson, the NCAA’s active leader in touchdowns, scored on carries of three, six and 44 yards to give Texas Tech a 21-0 lead. His first scoring run made him the Red Raider career leader in touchdowns and points. He has 55 touchdowns for 330 points.

Texas Tech’s Cody Hodges completed 25 of 32 passes for 227 yards and three touchdowns.

Hodges, who entered as the nation’s leader with an average of 445 passing yards a game, threw his first interception in the opening quarter. But when the Sycamores’ Rocky Alo returned it, he was hit by Hodges and fumbled. Texas Tech recovered.

Kansas State 54, North Texas 7 -- Parrish Fisher replaced Thomas Clayton, the nation’s rushing leader, and ran for 169 yards in the Wildcats’ victory at Manhattan, Kan.

Clayton was benched for the game by Coach Bill Snyder. He was charged with aggravated battery after driving away from and allegedly grazing a campus parking services employee.

Fisher became the first freshman at Kansas State (3-0) to run for 100-plus yards in a game.

The Mean Green dropped to 1-2.
