Texas Tech quarterback Graham Harrell, left, and wide receiver Michael Crabtree celebrate after a touchdown against Texas A&M on Saturday.

Bullock kicked another field goal with 6:29 left in the half to put A&M ahead 16-13. Crabtree returned for Texas Tech’s next possession, which ended on Harrell’s 8-yard touchdown pass to Batch.

A holding penalty wiped out a 78-yard touchdown pass from Johnson to Jeff Fuller and A&M punted with just over 2 minutes left before halftime.

Tremain Swindall caught a 37-yard pass from Harrell, then fumbled near midfield. Tannehill made a diving catch for a 40-yard gain on the next play and Mike Goodson’s 1-yard touchdown run put the Aggies ahead 23-20 with 23 seconds left before the break.

“Everything went wrong that could in the first half,” Leach said.

Harrell went 5-for-6 on the Red Raiders’ first drive out of halftime and Crabtree caught a 3-yard TD pass to put Texas Tech in front for good.

Cory Fowler’s 25-yard field goal with 2:44 left in the third quarter made it 30-23. The Red Raiders have reached 30 points in 11 consecutive games.

Texas Tech punted for the first time early in the fourth quarter, but the Aggies couldn’t get a first down.

Harrell went 8-for-8 on Tech’s next drive and scored on a 1-yard sneak with 7 minutes left. A&M defensive lineman Tony Jerod-Eddy blocked Fowler’s extra-point kick and Arkeith Brown returned it for two points to cut Tech’s lead to 36-25.
