Alan Bowman is an 18-year-old quarterback who outplayed a 23-year-old quarterback last week in Texas Tech’s 41-17 rout of Oklahoma State. For his trouble, Bowman this Saturday gets to duel an even better 23-year-old quarterback.
The step up in class, from OSU’s Taylor Cornelius to West Virginia’s Will Grier, will go a long way in determining whether Tech can pull the upset of the 12th-ranked Mountaineers.
Bowman, who took over for injured starter McLane Carter during Tech’s season-opening loss to Ole Miss, has been nothing short of sensational for the Red Raiders.
