If there is one reason Texas Tech football fans feel optimistic about the upcoming season, it would be the return from injury of sophomore QB Alan Bowman. After missing what amounted to five games last fall (four full games and the second half of two others) because of a collapsed lung, the Grapevine, Texas native is back to 100% and ready to pick up where he left off.
Officially, he averaged 329.7 yards per game through the air while tossing 17 touchdowns and seven interceptions. But if you take the two games he did not finish out of the equation, his yards per game average jumps to 381.
