MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Texas Tech has a brand-new quarterback this season, but that’s nothing new for Red Raiders coach Kliff Kingsbury.
Kingsbury previously has shown comfort in turning the reins over to a freshman, though it didn’t hurt that in those previous instances the players were the uber-talented Baker Mayfield (2013) and Patrick Mahomes (2014). Before that, Kingsbury was the offensive coordinator at Texas A&M, where he helped Johnny Manziel become the first freshman to win the Heisman Trophy.
It’s far too early to tell if current starter Alan Bowman is on the same path as that trio, but he’s certainly off to a good start.
