Backup quarterback Will Hammond stepped into a stagnant Texas Tech offense in the third quarter and put together four scoring drives to lead the 17th-ranked Red Raiders to a 34-10 win over No. 16 Utah on Saturday.

Hammond threw for 169 yards and two touchdowns and rushed for 61 yards. He entered the game in relief of Behren Morton, whose helmet slammed on the turf after he slid headfirst into contact with Utah linebacker Johnathan Hall during the Red Raiders' (4-0, 1-0 Big 12) opening drive of the third quarter.
Morton was ruled out after the hit with his teaming leading 10-3. He threw for 142 yards and two interceptions before exiting.
Utah quarterback Devon Dampier threw for 162 yards and two interceptions. The Utes (3-1, 0-1 Big 12) were held to 263 total yards and committed four turnovers.
No. 6 Oregon 41, Oregon State 7: Dante Moore threw for 305 yards and a careerhigh four touchdowns as the Ducks rolled to victory over former Pac-12 foe Oregon State before the rivalry goes on a break next season.
Moore was 21-of-31 passing and spread his scoring strikes to four receivers for the Ducks (4-0, 1-0 Big Ten), who had 585 yards in total offense.
