One of Texas Tech’s perceived strengths this season is having a lot of options at receiver.
The football ball might not go to Derrick Willies, a tall, tantalizing newcomer, as often as Tech fans would like, but Willies says he’s OK with that.
“Coach Kingsbury does a great job making sure everybody’s getting the ball,” Willies said after Tuesday’s practice.
Willies, a 6-foot-3, 215-pound junior from Rock Island, Illinois, started his college career at Iowa and had a 1,000-yard season last year at Trinity Valley Community College. He’s part of a crowded picture at split end, where senior Devin Lauderdale and sophomore Tony Brown are capable and have more time in the system.
