On Kansas' first play of its next drive, Cole Ballard fumbled on a quarterback keeper and Texas Tech's David Bailey recovered the ball at the Kansas 36.
Five plays later, Morton completed a 21-yard touchdown pass to Terrance Carter Jr.
Following a successful two-point conversion run by Johncarlos Miller II, Texas Tech led 15-0 with 8:39 left in the first quarter.
Field goals by Upton Bellenfant of 25 yards and Stone Harrington of 40 yards built the lead to 21-0.

A 55-yard field goal by Laith Marjan as time expired cut Texas Tech's lead to 21-17 at halftime.
Texas Tech endured three possessions that ended with a punt or an interception thrown by Morton after taking the 21-0 lead early in the second quarter.
