Tommy Castellanos-Hammond QB1 Addressed by Texas Tech HC After Replay Ruling Seals Win vs. Houston

After holding on for a 28-26 win over Houston on Friday night, Texas Tech head coach Joey McGuire made it clear Will Hammond is the No. 1 quarterback going forward even though Tommy Castellanos got the start.

Speaking to reporters following the dramatic win, McGuire made it clear Hammond is the Red Raiders' starter and there will be specific packages used for Castellanos:

"Will Hammond is our starting quarterback. We have packages for Tommy, and those packages will continue to grow. We had two plays we're going to run right there. If we don't get pressure, then I think we have a huge play starting right off the bat. ... The plan was two plays and Will come into the game."

Texas Tech held on to win after replay review confirmed Houston quarterback Conner Weigman was tackled down just short of the goal line on a two-point attempt that would have tied the game with 49 seconds remaining.
