Redshirt freshman Seth Doege may be under center for the Red Raiders
When Texas Tech’s Taylor Potts went down and suffered a concussion, the Red Raider faithful weren’t sure what they were going to get when QB Steven Sheffield stepped in under center. Sheffield, a walk-on QB, has done nothing but impress all his doubters by throwing for 724 yards and 8 TDs in the past two weeks against Kansas State and Nebraska.
Unfortunately, Texas Tech may have to dig deeper in the roster and turn to redshirt freshman Seth Doege. As it stands, Sheffield is still nursing a foot injury suffered in the third quarter against Nebraska. Though he finished the game, it doesn’t look like he will be able to start this Saturday against Texas A&M.
If Sheffield is a no go, Mike Leach is considering starting Potts, who hasn’t played since his concussion, with Doege as the back-up. Either way, whoever is throwing the pigskin, Leach runs a sound offense where any decent QB would put up great numbers.
