Texas Tech quarterback Alan Bowman (10) warms up prior to an NCAA college football game against Arizona, Saturday, Sept. 14, 2019, in Tucson, Ariz.

The No. 8 Longhorns spread around seven touchdowns to seven different receivers in their first game. Now they go on the road to open Big 12 play against Texas Tech.
