Entering the 2019 Texas Tech football season, we believed that Matt Wells could put together a strong debut campaign because of Alan Bowman. The sophomore QB was set to lead the Red Raider offense after missing the final three games of 2018 with his second collapsed lung of the season.
But that advantage went out the window after just three games. After landing awkwardly on his left shoulder in the Arizona game, Bowman is out for at least another month turning Tech’s perceived QB advantage into a true deficit.
With Bowman running the show, Tech could go into almost every game this year feeling like the talent at the game’s most critical position was either in the Red Raiders’ favor or at least a tossup.
