In this episode of Saturday vs Sunday, I break down Texas Tech’s statement win over Utah and the emergence of Will Hammond as a true difference-maker. What started as an ugly, turnover-filled first half quickly turned into a showcase of depth, toughness, and dominance from the Red Raiders.Utah came into this matchup with hype around their offensive line and quarterback Devin Dampierre, but Texas Tech’s defense had other ideas. The front seven smothered the run game, forced turnovers, and never let Utah’s offense get into rhythm. By the time the dust settled, Utah managed just 260 total yards—100 of which came in garbage time—and only 10 points on the board.The biggest story, though, was at quarterback. Baron Morton exited with what looked like a concussion early in the second half, and all eyes turned to Will Hammond. Instead of a drop-off, the Red Raiders got even better. Hammond went 13-for-16 for 169 yards and two touchdowns through the air, while adding 61 rushing yards on the ground. His efficiency, poise, and dual-threat ability gave Tech the spark they needed to close out Utah in convincing fashion.With Hammond looking just as capable as Morton, Texas Tech may have the rare luxury of two starting-caliber quarterbacks. Combined with a defense that looks championship-ready, this team is proving it belongs at the top of the Big 12 conversation.This wasn’t just a win—it was a statement. Texas Tech is for real, and the rest of the conference better take notice.
