LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) - Seth Doege threw for six touchdowns and 340 yards to lead Texas Tech past New Mexico 49-14 on Saturday night.

Doege threw touchdown passes of 20, 39, 7, 12, 11 and 14 yards and completed 27 of 35 passes before being replaced by backup Michael Brewer early in the third quarter.

Eric Ward caught three of Doege's touchdown passes and Jace Amaro got two of them as the senior quarterback made it look easy for Texas Tech (3-0).

The Red Raiders finished with 702 total yards, 325 on the ground.

New Mexico (1-2) struggled on offense and alternated starter B.R. Holbrook and backup Cole Gautsche at quarterback throughout the game. The Lobos finished with just 127 yards of offense.

The lone bright spot for New Mexico, shut out in the second half, came when Chase Clayton returned a kickoff 98 yards for a touchdown to pull the Lobos within 28-14.
