Texas Tech QB Hammond, Texas Guard Campbell Exit Games With Injuries

Texas Tech quarterback Will Hammond suffered a non-contact lower-leg injury during the game against Oklahoma State, leaving the game in the second quarter after planting his right foot to make a cut. Hammond, who had passed for 102 yards and one touchdown before the injury, was replaced by Mitch Griffis, while the team's No. 1 quarterback Behren Morton, recovering from a previous lower-leg injury, was suited up only at halftime but did not play. Meanwhile, Texas Longhorns faced injuries on their offensive line as starting right guard DJ Campbell left the game against Mississippi State with a leg injury, a significant setback for an already struggling offensive line missing other key starters like center Cole Hutson. Campbell's injury forced reserve guard Connor Stroh to step in, further challenging the Longhorns' efforts to establish a stable offensive front to support quarterback Arch Manning and the rushing game. Both teams are dealing with key injuries that could impact their offensive effectiveness moving forward in the season.
