LUBBOCK, Texas -- Its rare when pass-happy Texas Tech churns out more plays on the ground than in the air, but thats what happened Saturday night.Patrick Mahomes threw for five touchdowns, three to Johnathan Giles, and ran for another to lead Texas Tech past Louisiana Tech 59-45.That was their defense, Texas Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury said of the 43-36 edge to running plays. If theyre going to give us a run, were going to take it. Were going to do whatever the defense allows us to do.Giles, who finished with six catches for 186 yards, said balance with the rush and pass takes pressure off Mahomes.I feel like it makes it easier for Pat just so he dont have to throw the ball a whole lot, he said. And us as a receiver group, just blocking, being physical, if very fun.Mahomes threw touchdown passes of 64, 36, 9, 42 and 4. The junior, who came into the game leading the nation in total offense, completed 26 of 36 passes for 470 yards.Demarcus Felton rushed for 123 yards on 16 carries and had two touchdowns.The Bulldogs fell behind 35-10 and couldnt quell the Red Raiders up-tempo offense enough to pull off a comeback. They got within 11 points twice.I thought our defense was a joke, Louisiana Tech coach Skip Holtz said.Kingsbury said his team needs to get tougher and put opponents away.You cant have guys, particularly their best players, running wide open, he said.The Red Raiders (2-1) didnt punt through three quarters and scored on six of their first seven possessions.Jarred Craft had 151 yards on 21 carries and Trent Taylor caught six passes for 166 yards for the Bulldogs (1-2).Jarred did a phenomenal job, whether it was to start off a drive or a short play that hed just bust open, he did a great job getting his holes, almost always making the first defender miss quarterback Ryan Higgins said. He kept us alive.The Red Raiders pulled some razzle dazzle in the second quarter, running a double reverse that ended in Giles hands and brought him one of his three touchdowns -- a 42-yarder.I stole that from Western Kentucky, Kingsbury said. It was a great play they ran for a touchdown, so we repped it a ton. We had it but we werent getting the right looks for it, and it just worked out tonight.TAKEAWAYS:LOUISIANA TECH: The Bulldogs defense came into the game giving up just 295 total yards per game to rank 31st in the nation .

The Bulldogs tallied 572 total yards, fewer than the 652 the Red Raiders gave up in their 68-55 loss at Arizona State last week. I thought offensively we handled the situation better, Kingsbury said. Everybody executed at a much higher level.Holtz lauded Texas Techs defense. They ran a lot of coverages, they ran a lot of fronts, he said. They do as much as any defense Ive ever seen. They ran I dont know how many coverages tonight, but you couldnt attack what they were doing.UP NEXT:LOUISIANA TECH: The Bulldogs continue their road games when they travel to Middle Tennessee.TEXAS TECH: The Red Raiders have a bye next week before hosting Kansas on Sept. 29.

Vaives lawyer Trevor Whiffen claims the former 50-goal man wasnt provided with a copy of the claim beforehand and that he would not have agreed to the allegations made against the NHL had he been asked to review its contents. MIAMI -- Three days after Jose Fernandezs death, the Miami Marlins keep finding new sources for fresh tears. One such example was provided by catching coach Brian Schneider, whose 6-year-old son adored the late Marlins ace and followed him around the ballpark like a puppy.After Fernandez died in a boating accident over the weekend, Holden Schneider attended kindergarten Monday and wrote a story about his favorite major leaguer. When his dad circulated the image among the players in the Miami clubhouse, eyes welled on cue.My kids just gravitate to Jose, Schneider said. After batting practice on Saturday, I didnt see Holden for a half-hour or 45 minutes. He was out there on the field with Jose. Heres this little boy who doesnt know any different, and everybody knew how much he looked up to Jose.Guys told me they were doing good, and then they read that, and they started to tear up. And when I read it, I teared up too.This is how life unfolds as the Marlins play out the season under the most trying of circumstances. They hold daily meetings to discuss changes in the schedule and ways to honor their late teammate amid suppressed appetites and restless nights of sleep. Meanwhile, the games go on as usual.Monday night, Dee Gordon launched an improbable home run into the upper deck and the Marlins rode a wave of adrenaline to a 7-3 victory over the New York Mets. On Tuesday, the wave subsided in the face of?Noah Syndergaards pitching, and the Marlins lost 12-1 to the Mets.On Wednesday, a public memorial for Fernandez will begin outside Marlins Park at 2 p.m. ET, and a funeral motorcade will leave from the park at 2:16 (in honor of Fernandezs uniform number). Fans will have an opportunity to pay their respects throughout the evening during a public viewing at St. Brendans Catholic Church in Miami.On Thursday, an open date in the schedule, Marlins players, coaches and front-office personnel will attend a private mass with Fernandezs family. The Marlins will then fly to Washington for a season-ending series against the Nationalss.ddddddddddddThe atmosphere at Marlins Park on Tuesday couldnt possibly have matched what took place in the series opener when Fernandezs teammates honored his memory with one touching gesture after another, and Gordons early homer sent a surge through the air. The Miami hitters were overwhelmed Tuesday by Syndergaard, and Marlins starter Tom Koehler lasted a mere 3 2/3 innings while falling behind 4-1. The New York lineup piled on late against the Marlins bullpen.I think everybodys doing the best they can, Koehler said. Were not trained to handle anything like this. As professional athletes, we kind of get desensitized to a lot of things. Were able to go out and play regardless of the situation. But its usually individual situations. One guy might be dealing with something on a normal night and the other 24 arent. This hit everybody. So everybody deals with it in different ways.As manager Don Mattingly has routinely pointed out, the Marlins have no road map or historical precedent to navigate the nightmare theyve encountered. The team has made grief counselors available for the players, but talking, venting and crying can only achieve so much.The Marlins left the ballpark late Tuesday knowing they would be eliminated from postseason contention with a San Francisco Giants victory. At 78-79, Miami can post its first winning record since 2009 with wins in three of its next four games. But its a challenge for Mattingly or anyone else in a Miami uniform to find perspective amid the heartache.Obviously, we see so much on television and what people are saying nationally, Mattingly said. Its hard to get a feel when youre in the middle of it. You dont get to see where the waves and the ripples are going. We know whats coming the next few days, but I dont know if we know the full impact of it. As time gets away from us, Im sure guys will look into it more, read more and see how far those ripples go.
