Red Raider safety D.J. Johnson intercepted Webb's pass and gave his team the ball on the Kansas 25-yard line.
Webb's interception was the first of the day for the lashawks, but it
wouldn't be the last, as they saw their 20-point first quarter lead evaporate in just under eight minutes.
Webb's next pass came three minutes later and although the throw was better, the result was the same. The ball ricocheted off the outstretched fingers of sophomore receiver Chris Omigie and into the awaiting arms of Johnson.
"He's such a competitor, he wants to come back and do it again, like, give me that play over again," said offensive coordinator Chuck Long.
Not all of Webb's passes ended up in the hands of his opponents. He completed 72 percent of his passes, three of which went for touchdowns in the Jayhawks 45-34 loss to the Red Raiders.
The team recovered three of them and got a boost on the fourth. After losing possession of the ball, on the next play freshman safety Keeston Terry stepped up and intercepted Texas Tech quarterback Seth Doege's pass at the Kansas 20-yard line.

"We worked 10 minutes on that very same coverage concept," said defensive coordinator Vic Shealy. "When they ran one of the routes it's just proof in the pudding that as you work a young kid he gets better. I guess I'm proud of him in a sense that he took from the practice field to the playing field and that's encouraging for a young kid."
The interception set up Webb's
The Jayhawks had only turned the ball over once in their first three contests.
"That's the big, deciding factor. You can't turn the ball over three or four times against a good football team and win," coach Turner Gill said.
