Romaine has 2 quick pick-6s as No. 11 Texas Tech beats Sam Houston 49-14 for 11th home win in row

Romaine became the first FBS player in 13 years to pull off that kind of back-to-back pick-6 stretch, and he did it against two different quarterbacks. Cameron Dickey added two rushing touchdowns for Texas Tech, including a 13-yard score that broke the game open in the second half. Will Hammond also connected with Coy Eakin on a 21-yard touchdown pass in the opening minutes of the third quarter.

The win pushed Texas Tech to 4-0 and stretched the Red Raiders' home winning streak to 11 games straight, their longest run since a 12-game streak from 2007 to 2009. Texas Tech was nearly a five-touchdown favorite going in, yet the Red Raiders only led 21-14 at halftime before pulling away.

For Red Raiders fans, this is the kind of dominant defensive stretch that turns a shaky halftime lead into a laugher. A defense that can score twice in 60 seconds changes the whole tone of a game, and it gives Texas Tech a signature highlight heading into the rest of conference play. The home streak also matters. Eleven straight wins at home builds the kind of environment that makes Lubbock a tough place for visiting teams to walk into.
