Texas Tech University Secures Impressive Victory Against Arkansas-Pine Bluff
In a thrilling college football matchup, Texas Tech University's backup quarterback, Will Hammond, shone brightly as the Red Raiders cruised to a dominant victory against Arkansas-Pine Bluff, an FCS program.
Hammond, who replaced starter Behren Morton after an injury, showed his versatility by scoring two touchdowns in the game. While he did not complete any passes, his 64-yard rushing touchdown in the third quarter was a highlight of the game. Morton, before his departure, had an impressive outing, completing 16 of 18 attempts for 201 yards and throwing four touchdown passes in the season opener.
Cameron Dickey also made a significant contribution to the Red Raiders' offense, rushing for 90 yards and a score on 12 carries. Dickey's 2-yard rushing touchdown and Upton Bellenfant's 29-yard field goal extended Texas Tech's lead.
Terrance Carter Jr. and Reggie Virgil also found the end zone for the Red Raiders, each scoring a touchdown. A total of 12 players caught at least one pass for Texas Tech, demonstrating the team's depth and balance on offense.
Defensive statistics were not provided for either team, leaving the focus squarely on the Red Raiders' offensive performance. Mitch Griffis added to the scoring with a 13-yard touchdown pass, and Will Hammond hit Leyton Stone for a 9-yard touchdown score, increasing the lead to 61-0 after three quarters.
Arkansas-Pine Bluff's only touchdown came with Christian Peters' 7-yard touchdown pass to Ellis Stewart with 6:16 left in the game. Peters completed 17 of 33 passes for 123 yards and an interception in the game.
Injury updates were not available for Hammond or any other Texas Tech players. The final score of the game was also not provided. The Red Raiders will look to build on this impressive performance as they continue their season.
