"ARLINGTON, Texas -- Cameron Dickey scored right after the first of linebacker Ben Roberts' two interceptions in the second half as No. 4 Texas Tech won the Big 12 championship game, and almost certainly locked up a first-round bye in the College Football Playoff, with a 34-7 victory over No. 11th BYU on Saturday. After investing millions of dollars in the transfer portal, the Red Raiders (12-1) have their first Big 12 title --"
"Roberts, one of the holdovers on the Tech defense along with fellow linebacker Jacob Rodriguez (13 tackles), got his first interception with about 3 1/2 minutes left in the third quarter when he reached up and deflected the pass by true freshman Bear Bachmeier. On the next play, Dickey took a direct snap and ran untouched 11 yards for a touchdown and 21-7 lead after making the 2-point conversion."
Texas Tech defeated BYU 34-7 to capture the Big 12 championship and likely earn a College Football Playoff first-round bye.
