One unintended consequence of the current coronavirus shutdown is that the college football offseason is on indefinite hiatus as far as team activities and workouts go. That makes it far more likely that redshirt sophomore QB Alan Bowman will be the Texas Tech football team’s starting quarterback in 2020.
Prior to the suspension of spring practices early last month, it was believed that Bowman and redshirt freshman Maverick McIvor would be engaged in a true QB competition for the starting job. What’s more, some expected true freshman Donovan Smith to factor into the race as well, though his arrival on campus was not supposed to happen until summer.
