Texas Tech · West VirginiaTexas Tech football got back on track with Saturday's victory over Arizona, but the Red Raiders won't have much time to celebrate. MORE: Texas Tech Climbs In Coaches Poll After Arizona Win, But Is No. 13 Enough?
The Red Raiders defeated No. 22 Arizona 34-26 last weekend, bouncing back from their first loss of the season against Cincinnati. But the biggest storyline wasn't simply the victory.
It was McGuire's decision to start Tommy Castellanos instead of Will Hammond. Castellanos brought a different dimension to the offense with his running ability, helping Texas Tech pile up 328 rushing yards against the Wildcats.
Running back J'Koby Williams delivered one of his best performances of the season, rushing for 175 yards, including a 64-yard touchdown. Castellanos, however, struggled to consistently move the football through the air, completing just 11 of 24 passes for 144 yards and two touchdowns.
