Texas Tech will start Thomas Castellanos at quarterback over Will Hammond when the No. 13 Red Raiders host the No. 22 Wildcats. Both signal-callers are expected to see significant playing time in the matchup that carries major implications for the Big 12 title race. Castellanos, a fifth-year senior, gets the nod after sitting out the previous game.
Hammond's Recent Performance
Hammond completed 24 of 37 passes for 227 yards in the road loss at Cincinnati. He added 23 rushing yards on 14 carries but threw two turnovers as the Red Raiders, now 6-1, waited until the final minute to score their first offensive touchdown. He currently ranks ninth in the Big 12 in QBR and 11th in total offense.
Additional Updates
The Red Raiders also expect running back Cameron Dickey to return after missing two games with a high ankle sprain. Dickey has rushed for 242 yards and four touchdowns this season and is listed as probable. Castellanos, standing 5-foot-10 and 190 pounds, has rushed for 65 yards and two scores on 15 attempts while throwing for 45 yards with two touchdowns and one interception.
