Beckville’s Williams scores TD in Texas Tech win - KLTV.com

J'Koby Williams broke a 29-yard rushing touchdown in the third quarter to put Texas Tech ahead for good in a 28-26 win over Houston on Friday night.
The former Beckville Bearcat capped a 5-play, 75-yard drive with the score, his third touchdown of the season. Williams finished the night with 7 carries for 62 yards and a touchdown on the ground, adding 3 catches for 14 yards through the air. Texas Tech needed every bit of it, stopping a Houston two-point conversion attempt in the final minutes to seal the win and keep the Red Raiders undefeated.
Houston had a chance to tie the game with that conversion attempt, and Tech's defense held, turning a nervy finish into a statement win. For a program trying to build early season momentum, a close call that ends with a goal-line stand plays a lot better than a comfortable blowout.
Texas Tech moves to 3-0 on the season and stays home to host Sam Houston State on Sept. 26. Fans who watched Williams grind out tough yards on the ground got a preview of what could be a bigger role for him as conference play approaches.
