Backup quarterback Will Hammond will make his second straight start for No. 14 Texas Tech on Saturday against visiting Oklahoma State, multiple outlets reported Thursday.
Behren Morton still is recovering from a knee injury but would be available in an emergency role for the Red Raiders (6-1, 3-1 Big 12) against the Cowboys (1-6, 0-4), according to On3.
Hammond completed 22 of 37 passes for 167 yards with two touchdowns and an interception last Saturday as Texas Tech suffered its first loss of the season, 26-22, to Arizona State in Tempe, Ariz. Hammond also led the team with 47 rushing yards and a score.
The Red Raiders are averaging 517.9 yards of offense per game, third in the nation, but were held to just 276 against the Sun Devils.
Morton originally hurt his knee in the Aug. 30 season opener against Arkansas-Pine Bluff. He aggravated the injury in the Oct. 11 win against Kansas.
For the season, Morton has completed 68.4% of his passes for 1,501 yards with 13 TDs and three interceptions in six starts. Hammond is at 63.8% for 578 yards with six scores and three picks in seven games.
