Texas Tech key spring issue No. 4: How will the Red Raider ground attack be utilized?

Texas Tech's fourth biggest issue going into the 2017 season relates to a certain offensive position behind the quarterback, literally.

With the departure of Patrick Mahomes, it is looking like Nic Shimonek will lead the Texas Tech Red Raiders at the quarterback position. Having made only six appearances, will Shimonek's lack of experience push the Red Raiders to a more active running attack?

Texas Tech has made moves with different players, including moving receiver Donta Thompson to a blocking back, according to an article by Don Williams of the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal.
