Quarterback S.A.C.K.: Red Raiders pick up three more sacks vs. Houston, season total now at eight - fox34.com

Tech beat Houston 28-26 to move to 3-0 overall and 1-0 in Big 12 play. The Red Raiders' pass rush did the heavy lifting late. Linebacker Adam Trick opened the scoring on defense in the second quarter, sacking Weigman at the Tech 35 and forcing a fumble that true freshman outside linebacker LaDamian Guyton scooped up.

The fourth quarter belonged to Tech's front seven. AJ Holmes stopped a third-and-4 Houston drive at the Cougars' 35 with a sack that forced a punt. With under three minutes left, Trey White made his Texas Tech debut memorable, sacking Weigman on second-and-4 at the Houston 18.

For fans who follow the Red Raiders every fall, this is the part of the program that pays off twice. Every sack this season feeds a donation drive tied to Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Southwest, so Tech's pass rush is quietly raising money for families staying near the hospital while the team piles up wins.
