Texas Tech received the opening kickoff and quickly went downfield with Alan Bowman finding Erik Ezukanma for a 7-yard touchdown pass with 13:22 left in the first quarter. Houston Baptist responded on its first drive with a 40-yard field goal from Gino Garcia to make it 7–3. The Red Raiders started their second drive on their own 25-yard line, with SaRodorick Thompson running for 3 yards on the first play. On the next play, Bowman found T. J. Vasher for a 12-yard pass, but on the next play Isaiah Cash intercepted a Bowman pass near midfield for the Huskies. Houston Baptist quarterback Bailey Zappe was sacked by Jaylon Hutchings for a 5-yard loss, Zappe threw an incomplete pass on the next play, then the Huskies were moved back another 5 yards following a false start penalty. On 3rd and 20 at the 50-yard line, the Huskies managed to gain back the lost yardage from the sack and penalty and punted the ball, which was downed at the Texas Tech 5-yard line. The Red Raiders went 95-yards downfield, ending the drive with a 5-yard touchdown run from Thompson to take a 14–3 lead.
On their next drive, the Huskies made it to the Texas Tech 1-yard line, but a pass by wide receiver Jerreth Sterns was intercepted by Zech McPhearson. The two teams traded punts, before Texas Tech scored another touchdown on a 1-yard run from Tahj Brooks; Houston Baptist responded on the following drive with its first touchdown of the game, a 65-yard pass from Zappe to D. J. Dormeus. The Red Raiders went three-and-out on their next drive, gaining just 3 yards. The Huskies started the next drive at their own 29-yard line and made it all the way to the Texas Tech 1-yard line.

On their second drive of the half, the Huskies started a comeback attempt with Garcia making a 44-yard field goal to make it 13–21. Texas Tech made it to the Houston Baptist 42-yard line on the next drive before punting the ball. The Huskies started the next drive on their own 20-yard line, with the first play being an Ean Beek run for a loss of 5 yards. On the next play, Zappe found Sterns for a 30-yard pass.

Texas Tech had a chance to out the game away on its following drive, but turned the ball over on downs at the Houston Baptist 4-yard line with 5:25 left in regulation. The Red Raiders' defense gave up two big plays on the Huskies' next offensive drive: a 45-yard pass that put the Huskies into Texas Tech territory and a 27-yard pass to put them at the 2-yard line.
