ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Cameron Dickey scored right after the first of linebacker Ben Roberts’ two interceptions in the second half as No. 5 Texas Tech won the 2025 Edward Jones Big 12 Football Championship with a 34-7 victory over 11th-ranked BYU on Saturday. 

The Red Raiders (12-1, No. 4 CFP) have their first Big 12 football title. 

Behren Morton, who didn’t play in Tech’s only loss at Arizona State, threw two TDs to Coy Eakin and Stone Harrington kicked four field goals for the Red Raiders.

The only losses by BYU (11-2, No. 11 CFP) are to the Red Raiders. 

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 a 21-7 lead after making the 2-point conversion.

Harrington, who kicked a school-record five field goals against BYU last month, missed a 49-yard field goal attempt after Roberts jumped a route to make a one-handed interception in the fourth quarter.

But in between Roberts becoming the first player with multiple interceptions in one of the 24 Big 12 championship games, transfer Romello Height recovered when Bachmeier fumbled when being sacked. Harrington made a 44-yarder that time.

Roberts almost had his hands on another interception, but that deflection came on a fourth-down play that gave the ball back to the Red Raiders.

Tech went ahead to stay on Eakin’s incredible leaping 33-yard TD catch with 10:42 left in the second quarter that made it 10-7. He reached up with both hands to snag the ball, then got a foot down while twisting and lunging into the end zone.
