As Texas Tech Red Raiders starting quarterback Behren Morton was dinged up and dealing with some injuries after some hard hits on the road against the Utah Utes, backup quarterback Will Hammond stepped in and stepped up for TTU’s offense.
Offensively, Texas Tech really wasn’t able to get much going against the Utes defense. Utah just did such an impressive job of slowing and smothering Texas Tech’s offense. Morton played well early on against the Utes, but he still struggled due to the way Utah’s defense pressured him.
And after some hard hits, the Red Raiders needed a new quarterback to take over.
