Oregon vs. Texas Tech score, live updates: Follow College Football Playoff action

That was a well-designed fake as it appeared to give Ferguson-Reynolds the option to punt if Grace was covered as he released from the backfield.

Related: a short throw on a fake punt to a wide-open player on a short fourth down should not be considered a massive gamble.

The Ducks were facing a fourth-and-short at midfield and punter James Ferguson-Reynolds passed to Zach Grace to convert.

Oregon will have a fresh set of downs in TTU territory.

The Red Raiders come away empty after the explosive run play as Stone Harrington pulled the 54-yard attempt badly.

It’s still 3-0 Oregon.

J’Koby Williams broke a tackle in the backfield and bolted down the sideline for a 50-yard gain to give the Red Raiders their first big play (and first down) of the game.

The Ducks weren’t able to do much with the ensuing possession and give it right back to TTU.

The Red Raiders will have it back at their own 10. They’re still searching for their first first down of the game.

The Red Raiders have turned it right back over to the Ducks after a poor pass by Behren Morton!

The nightmare start continues for Texas Tech’s offense as Brandon Finney Jr. jumped a pass to the outside and nabbed the pick.

The Ducks are facing a fourth-and-6 in their own territory as the first quarter comes to a close.

It’s been a hard-hitting opening quarter.

The Red Raiders have had just six offensive plays so far and there’s just over a minute left in the first quarter. Not great.

The Ducks found themselves in another fourth-and-short situation, but Texas Tech was able to stop them this time as Oregon’s Jordon Davison came up short.

It’ll be TTU ball at its own 25.

Oregon has gotten yards early in drives, but that dominant defensive line of the Red Raiders has taken over every time the Ducks approach the end zone.

The Ducks are over midfield again after a gutsy fourth-and-2 conversion on a completion from Dante Moore to Kenyon Sadiq.

The Red Raiders couldn’t do anything with their first possession. It’s a quick three-and-out and the Ducks will have it right back.

The Ducks had success with their quick-hitting pass attack on that opening drive. Dante Moore was 5 for 6 for 55 yards before the drive petered out just shy of the red zone.

The Ducks moved backwards from there with a long sack, but they were able to come away with the first points of the game on a long field goal by Atticus Sappington.

Oregon 3, Texas Tech 0

We are underway in South Florida and the Ducks are having success on their opening drive.

They’re already near the red zone with their quick-hitting offense.

The line has swung suddenly this morning. Texas Tech has been a slight underdog all week, but the Red Raiders are now 1.5-point favorites over Oregon right ahead of kickoff.

Did you even realize Texas Tech has a head coach? His name is Joey McGuire. He was a Texas high school coach for more than 20 years until Matt Rhule hired him at Baylor to be a tight ends coach and something of a liaison to high school coaches in the state. He was a total surprise when Texas Tech hired him in 2022 having never been a coordinator at the college level.
