Sometimes the biggest key to a team’s success is something that no one can control, health. Texas Tech football fans certainly learned first hand last fall how injuries can derail a season.

When starting QB McLane Carter was lost to a high ankle sprain in the first quarter of the Ole Miss game, the Alan Bowman era of the program began sooner than anyone ever imagined it would.
