The No. 5-seeded Oregon Ducks completely shut down No. 4 Texas Tech en route to a blowout 23-0 win in the College Football Playoff Quarterfinals in Miami. The Capital One Orange Bowl - both team's debut in the historic game - proved that the Big 12-champion Red Raiders were no match for a perennial national power like Oregon ... no matter how much money was spent this offseason.

Most of those funds that fueled a storybook season in Lubbock were allocated to a defense that was the sole reason Texas Tech remained in this game even beyond halftime. Oregon led just 6-0 at the break as star edge rusher David Bailey wreaked havoc on the Ducks' high-powered offense.

Ultimately, it was Tech's inability to scrap together any sort of positive momentum on offense, where four turnovers in the first three quarters often allowed the Ducks to take over with plus field position and wear down a Red Raider defense that was exhausted by game's end.

Oregon, now at 13-1, will play the winner of No. 1 Indiana and No. 9 Alabama at the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl in Atlanta. Texas Tech sees its remarkable 2025 season come to a close on the first day of 2026 at 12-2.

We recap the main contributors in this game by way of "Winners & Losers" as the Ducks soar into the semifinals:

Outside of home-grown star Jacob Rodriguez, Bailey was the Red Raiders' most successful investment as the star pass rusher finished the season with 14.5 sacks. He had one in a monster first half in which Texas Tech made life difficult for Oregon QB Dante Moore, who many suggest is the top prospect in the upcoming NFL Draft process.

You can add Bailey to that list as a likely top-10 pick this spring.

The Stanford transfer finished the game with nine tackles (five solo), two tackles for loss and two passes batted down in the first half that kept the Ducks out of the endzone.

He headlines a front seven that includes All-Conference contributors Lee Hunter, A.J. Holmes and Romello Height. The defensive line was synonymous with excellence throughout this season, and much of this game before they simply ran out of gas.

The Red Raiders' veteran quarterback hard arguably the worst game of his five-year Texas Tech career on the biggest stage yet. It's now his final time leading the program that he's soared up the record books with, though this performance will end his career on a sour note.

Morton completed six passes and led Texas Tech to just three first-down plays in the first half. He ended the game throwing 18-of-32 for 137 yards. He was intercepted twice and fumbled once. Running back Cameron Dickey accounted for the fourth turnover on a fumble right after receiving a handoff from Morton.

The QB's mobility was a major disadvantage on Thursday as Morton hardly ever stepped up in the pocket or scrambled out of trouble. He was sacked four times and ended the game with -32 rushing yards as a result.

Rodriguez - the Defensive Player of the Year in the Big 12 and near-Heisman finalist - was the star of this defense throughout the year with an FBS-lead in turnovers forced, but it was the former Big 12 Defensive Freshman of the Year Ben Roberts who turned into the go-to takeaway guy in the postseason.

Roberts made history as the first player in Big 12 title game history to have multiple interceptions in the game, earning him Most Outstanding Player honors there back on Dec. 6.

He carried that ball-hawk eye into the Orange Bowl with a third-quarter interception of Moore that built what turned out to be a minuscule amount of momentum for Tech down 13-0 and going into the fourth quarter moving. Morton's pass into the end zone was intercepted moments later.

Not only did each of Texas Tech's turnovers stall any opportunity for the offense to compete, but it often led to crucial opportunities for Oregon to tack onto their lead ... or at the least, tire out the Red Raiders defense that was on pace for 100 snaps from scrimmage by halftime.

Morton's first interception came early in Texas Tech's third drive after consecutive three-and-outs - just as the defense was keeping the Ducks at bay. Oregon couldn't capitalize on the turnover, but the Red Raiders turned around and missed a field goal the following possession.

Dickey's fumble as second turnover led to Oregon's second field goal in the second quarter. The biggest swing came after Morton was stripped by Matayo Uiagalelei inside the Red Raiders' 20-yard line. One play later and the Ducks were in the end zone.

Costly missed opportunities compounded throughout, all but ending the Red Raiders' hopes of competing before they could even start.

Moore was calm and composed throughout, demonstrating why he's considered an elite NFL prospect by how he sustained a stout defense and found ways to make the most of what was in front of him. He threw for 234 yards on 26-of-33.

Jordon Davison rushed for both touchdowns, but perhaps the most impactful player was true freshman cornerback Brandon Finney Jr., who accounted for three of the Ducks' turnovers. He recorded both interceptions and recovered Dickey's fumble.

Texas Tech is now the third team to be shutout in the College Football Playoff - joining Michigan State in 2015 and Ohio State in 2016, both games that were played in the original four-team bracket format.

The Red Raiders are the first team to be shutout in the CFP Quarterfinals since the new 12-team bracket was adopted last postseason.

Also continuing from last season is team's inability to come back from a long layover from conference championship weekend to their first game in the CFP.

Including Tech's loss on Thursday and No. 2 Ohio State's on Wednesday, teams with a top-four seed and first-round bye are 0-6 in the QFs.
