'Texas (Tech) is back!' Twitter reacts to upset win over Texas, field storming in Lubbock
Texas Tech fans can party like it's 2008.
For the first time since knocking off then-No. 1 Texas 14 years ago, Texas Tech has defeated the Longhorns in Lubbock with a 37-34 win in overtime on Saturday. No. 22 Texas tied the game at the end of regulation with a 48-yard field goal, but star Longhorns running back Bijan Robinson fumbled on the first possession of overtime. The Red Raiders took over and kicker Trey Wolff hit a 20-yard game-winning field goal.
Red Raider fans stormed the field as soon as the ball went through the uprights, and Twitter has been full of takes on the upset win. Here are some of the highlights.
