LDS quarterback filled in at Texas Tech, and dominated Utah down the stretch
Texas Tech v Utah | Chris Gardner/GettyImagesUtah vs Texas Tech was the most highly anticipated game of the young Big 12 season. Both teams ranked in the top 20, Fox's Big Noon Kickoff in town, and the eyes of the nation panning down onto the Beehive State for a marquee college football matchup.
Before this game, few even knew the name of the Red Raiders' backup quarterback (if you did, I officially dub you king of college football, and you can hold me to that), but Will Hammond, a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and a regular at BYU and Utah football camps growing up, had his day in the sun against the Utes on Saturday morning. Now, the world knows his name.
