FORT WORTH - Among the Kliff Kingsbury quarterbacks Thursday at Amon Carter Stadium were Jett Duffey, McLane Carter and Alan Bowman, who arrived by land, as well as Johnny Manziel, from Canada. Coach Cool didn’t get anything Heisman-like or even Raider-like from his quarterbacks, yet, somehow, it was still good enough for a 17-14 win over TCU.
Caveat: Granted, the Raiders mostly plowed straight ahead against Lamar, but when it’s 77-0, everyone’s just trying to get it over with and go home.
Duffey, making his first start, demonstrated a decidedly different kind of Raider quarterback: He ran (16 carries for 83 yards and a touchdown) almost as much as he threw (13-of-24 for 190 yards and a touchdown).
