EMMA’S CORNER | Shots from the Independence Bowl, by Emma Wiley

Emma Wiley shot the Radiance Technologies Independence Bowl on Saturday night in Shreveport, Louisiana, a game that Texas Tech won over Cal, 34-14, and a late one, at that. The Red Raiders finished up their season with a 7-6 record, and dropped the Bears to 6-7. Here are a few of Emma’s shots, and get used to them: she’s going to be a regular at ETBLITZ.COM, joining our staff of five photographers to get the very best action for you, the sports fan, that we possibly can. Here is Emma’s Corner!

Mendoza overcame what looked to be a leg injury early in the contest to have a solid game: 22-for-33 for 284 yards and a touchdown, but threw three interceptions to a swarming Tech defense.

Texas Tech quarterback Behren Morton has plenty of time to look for a receiver here against Cal. Morton went 27-of-43 for 256 yards, three touchdowns and an interception in the season finale against Cal, a Tech victory in the Radiance Technologies Independence Bowl.
