As the Texas Tech football team prepares to play its third game of the season without its starting quarterback, it is hard to ignore the awful luck Kliff Kingsbury has had with injuries at the most important position on the field. While many are frustrated with the continued struggles of the program under Kingsbury’s watch, it must be noted that no head coach in the “Air Raid” era has had worse fortune with the health of his quarterbacks.
Kingsbury’s bad luck began before he even coached his first game. In the summer of 2013, QB Michael Brewer, the frontrunner to be the starter, injured his back while wake boarding causing him to miss almost the entire season.
