About 45 minutes before game time, the news broke on Saturday that Behren Morton, the highest ranked QB to ever come to the south plains to play football, would get the nod under center against the #7 Oklahoma State Cowboys. But according to the Texas Tech redshirt freshman, it was just another game. “We have a great quarterback room and anytime you prepare like we do, it’s just next man up. You saw that today.” Morton said after the 41-31 loss in Stillwater.
Morton shined early and even played well after going down with a left leg injury late in the first half.
