  Texas Tech Football   Texas Tech quarterback Behren Morton exited the No. 9 Red Raiders' game against Kansas after appearing to injure his lower right leg when he was sacked in the second quarter. Morton pounded the turf after getting his legs caught under Leroy Harris III on the sack. The injury to Morton came on third down, so the offense was coming off the field anyway. He appeared to argue with the medical staff before backup Will Hammond went out for Texas Tech's next series, which ended after three plays. Hammond threw an interception on of the next possession. It's the third time this season Morton has exited a game with an injury. He hyperextended his right knee in a 67-7 victory over Arkansas-Pine Bluff in the season opener and was sidelined in a 34-10 win over Utah after taking a hard hit to the head. It was the second significant injury of the first half for the Red Raiders, who led 21-7 late in the first half. - AP College Football

  Eastern Kentucky Football   T.J. Mitchell III returned a kickoff 100 yards for touchdown, Vito Tisdale added a 19-yard pick-6, and Eastern Kentucky rallied to beat Austin Peay 34-20 on Saturday. Eastern Kentucky (3-3, 1-1 United Athletic Conference) didn't score an offensive touchdown until 4:33 remaining, when Myles Burkett scored on a quarterback keeper to give the Colonels their first lead. The Colonels had 68 total yards at halftime and zero rushing yards, but were led by special teams. Mitchell took a kickoff the length of the field with 53 seconds left in the first quarter.

They trailed 17-7 inside the final two minutes of the first half, but a 43-yard field goal from Buzz Flabiano and Tisdale's pick-six knotted things up. No. 16 in the FCS coaches poll, Austin Peay (4-3, 2-2) retook the lead with an eight-play, 74-yard field goal drive in the span of 60 seconds to end the half. Flabiano missed a 46-yard field goal, then responded with a career-long 51-yarder later in the third quarter to knot it at 20-20. The Colonels got a fourth-and-1 stop with 11:11 left in the fourth on a failed keeper from Chris Parson. Their ensuing drive was extended due to a personal foul call on Myles Wiley, and Burkett scored to take the first lead of the game. Governors receiver Jaden Robinson had eight catches for 145 yards, but dropped a surefire conversion on third-and-11 with 2:59 remaining. Three plays later, Brady Hensley broke free for a 72-yard touchdown run to double the Colonels' lead. - AP College Football
