This Saturday, sophomore quarterback Jett Duffey is expected to make his second career start for the Texas Tech football team when the Texas Longhorns come to Lubbock. While every Red Raider fan would rather see starting quarterback Alan Bowman leading the offense, Duffey’s ability to run the football could be a huge advantage against a Longhorn defense that has given up some yards to other mobile quarterbacks this season.
Thus far, Duffey has seen significant and meaningful action in three games, West Virginia, TCU and Oklahoma. Against the Mountaineers, he ran 15 times for 86 yards and a touchdown while almost brining his team back from a 35-7 halftime deficit.
