Hammond’s Comeback Against Houston | Sports News

Will Hammond, Texas Tech’s sophomore QB recovering from an ACL tear, is stepping into the spotlight as the Red Raiders gear up for a huge Big 12 showdown against No. 22 Houston. Already leading the team to a 2-0 start with over 500 yards and 76% completion, Hammond’s efficiency hasn’t been enough for coach Joey McGuire, who wants him to take more deep shots and trust his playmakers. Hammond’s path back to the field was anything but smooth—after a season-ending injury and a complicated transfer QB situation, he’s now the undisputed starter. With the defense leaking passing yards and the run game underperforming, the pressure’s on Hammond to deliver against a ranked opponent in a pivotal conference game. This Friday’s clash could define his legacy—and Texas Tech’s season. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
