LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) -- West Virginia launched a Heisman Trophy campaign for Will Grier over the summer and the senior quarterback for the No. 12 Mountaineers has certainly backed it up.
So has Alan Bowman, the true freshman for No. 25 Texas Tech who got thrust into action because of injury early in the season opener. He is 3-0 as the starter and leads NCAA Division I with 389 yards passing per game under the tutelage of Red Raiders coach and former record-setting quarterback Kliff Kingsbury.
"Not surprisingly, he found himself another young quarterback that is as good as advertised from what I've seen," West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen said.
