"Texas Tech quarterback Behren Morton will only be available in an emergency role for Saturday's game against Arizona State, the school announced. Morton was considered day-to-day for the seventh-ranked Red Raiders this week after coming out of a game for the third time this season, the second because of hurting his right leg while getting sacked. Morton was injured on a sack in the second quarter of last week's 42-17 victory over Kansas."
"Texas Tech coach Joey McGuire said at the time the injury was similar to one the coach called a hyperextended right knee sustained in the opener against Arkansas-Pine Bluff. The injury in that 67-7 victory also came before halftime. In another game Sept. 20, Texas Tech led by just a touchdown when Morton exited a 34-10 victory at then-No. 16 Utah early in the second half after taking a hard hit to the helmet on a scramble."
Behren Morton will be available only in an emergency role for Saturday's game against Arizona State after exiting multiple games this season due to injuries. He has left three games, including a hyperextended right knee in the opener and a sack-related right leg injury against Kansas. Morton also exited the Utah game after a hard helmet hit. He has completed 104 of 152 passes (68.4%) for 1,501 yards, 13 touchdowns and three interceptions. Will Hammond has relieved Morton each time and Mitch Griffis provides additional depth after transferring from Wake Forest. Texas Tech remains undefeated with backup contributions.
