Texas Tech bounces back from Ole Miss loss by rolling Lamar

Alan Bowman appears to be here to stay

McLane Carter is out indefinitely with a high ankle sprain, and in his absence, the freshman is doing everything he can to make sure the job is his regardless. After a respectable debut filling in for Carter against Ole Miss (29 of 49 for 273 yards and a touchdown), Bowman was just about flawless against Lamar, completing 22 of 25 passes (one of which was a drop) for 282 yards and 2 touchdowns. Yes, it's an FCS opponent, but less than a year ago, Bowman was suiting up for Grapevine against high school teams like Azle and F.W. Eastern Hills. This is a big leap, and he's handling it well. That's good news for the Red Raider faithful.
