Texas Tech Loses Another QB to Injury

[TechFirst]

I know the Sioux are still doing a slow boil after the SF debacle, but now I have a double ulcer. We just learned tonight that our backup QB Steven Sheffield had a 'procedure' done on his foot to repair an injury received during Saturday's win over Nebraska and will be out at least 2-3 weeks. Original starting QB Taylor Potts was in uniform on the sidelines Saturday but it is unclear whether doctors have cleared him for full contact play after the concussion he received 2 weeks ago. Until this season, Tech had never had a QB miss a game due to injury since Mike Leach was hired in 2000.

Third string QB Seth Doege was highly recruited but has not started a game since he was a sophomore in high school. He missed his junior and senior years due to, you guessed it, injury. Doege played two series in the 4th quarter of the Kansas State game and led the team to a TD. Frankly, I don't know who is behind Doege on the roster. I know we have a couple of highly ranked freshmen who are being red-shirted this year.

The good news is that our next game is against Texas A&M this Saturday in Lubbock. A&M started the season strong but lost 62-14 to Kansas State last week. That's the same Kansas State that Tech beat 66-14 the week before. The following week we host #24 Kansas. Then we have a bye week before games against #14 Oklahoma State and #25 OU.

%&##* Just when things were looking up. And we just jumped into the top 25.

Wow well I think you could play Qb for Tech this week and would probably beat A&M good luck during the stretch run hope Potts is back in time.

want our QB? our football team doesn't seem like they want to play right now?

in all seriousness, that stinks for you guys...hopefully Potts can come back soon, but he shouldnt' rush it. Good Luck, your team will be just fine.
