**Texas Tech QB Behren Morton’s Status Uncertain After Leg Injury**

LUBBOCK, TX – Texas Tech quarterback Behren Morton is currently listed as day-to-day after sustaining a right leg injury during the Red Raiders’ dominant 42-17 victory over Kansas on Saturday. Sources confirmed the news to ESPN’s Pete Thamel on Sunday.

Morton, the Big 12’s third-leading passer, was injured on a sack early in the second quarter. He had guided the No. 7 Red Raiders to an 18-0 lead before leaving the game. Morton was able to walk off the field and later watched the second half from the sideline in street clothes. He completed 7 of 12 passes for 91 yards and a touchdown before his exit.

Redshirt freshman Will Hammond stepped in to replace Morton and helped secure the win against the Jayhawks. This victory marked Texas Tech’s first 6-0 start to a season since 2013. Morton has been plagued by injuries this season, having also exited wins over Arkansas-Pine Bluff and Utah with leg and neck ailments.

The Red Raiders, who have won all six of their games by 24 points or more, face a tough test next week as they travel to Tempe to take on defending Big 12 champion Arizona State on Saturday. The status of Morton’s availability for that game remains uncertain.
