4 Takeaways From Oregon's Shutout Win vs. Texas Tech in the CFP Quarterfinals

The touching reason Texas Tech QB Behren Morton has his unique first name | Sporting News This is really special.

JANUARY 1 • SPORTINGNEWS.COM

Worst game during playoff Morton was 18-for-32 passing for 137 yards and two interceptions during Thursday's 23-0 loss versus Oregon. He also had six rushes for -32 yards.

Impact For only the second time in 2025, Morton logged touchdowns and interceptions. Unlike the first time, he recorded less than 60 percent for his pass attempts, negative rushing yards and a fumbled ball during postseason action. Overall, the quarterback's latest game is a disappointing and surprising finish to his strong 2025. He completed 66.0 percent of 332 pass attempts for 2,780 yards and a 22-6 TD-INT ratio. Morton has no collegiate eligibility remaining, so his focus will shift to pro football.

Sufficient for conference title Morton was 20-for-33 passing for 215 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 34-7 victory against Brigham Young.

Impact Texas Tech's first lead, which was never relinquished, came via a Morton long pass to Coy Eakin. The latter got his QB another touchdown despite a short pass outside BYU's end zone. For the College Football Playoff, Texas Tech will log a first-round bye, giving TTU additional time to prepare for either James Madison or Oregon. Morton enters the quarterfinal matchup with strong form, his last four games including 893 passing yards and a 7-0 TD-INT ratio.

Good to go Saturday Morton (undisclosed) is not on the injury report ahead of Saturday's Big 12 Championship against BYU.

Impact Morton, as expected, will be good to play as the Red Raiders look to win their first Big 12 Title in school history. The senior quarterback most recently lit it up through the air in Tech's regular season finale against West Virginia, throwing for 310 yards and three touchdowns while completing 78.1 percent of his pass attempts as he led the Red Raiders to another blowout victory. He'll look to stay accurate and mistake-free in the biggest showing of the year.

Texas Tech Plays CFP Hopeful BYU for Big 12 Title in Dream Rematch

Probable against BYU Morton (undisclosed) is listed as probable for Saturday's matchup against BYU in the Big 12 Championship, per Texas Tech's official team injury report.

Impact Morton has been listed as probable in the week leading up to gameday since making his return from injury in Week 10, giving the impression that his status for Saturday's Big 12 Title game isn't in much danger. The 6-foot-2 quarterback lit up the Mountaineers through the air in Tech's regular season finale against West Virginia, throwing for 310 yards and three touchdowns while completing 78.1 percent of his pass attempts as he led the Red Raiders to another blowout victory. If he is downgraded prior to kickoff on Saturday, Mitch Griffis will likely be in line to lead the team against BYU, though he could split time with freshman Lloyd Jones as well.
