Tommy Castellanos Gets the Start and Helps No. 13 Texas Tech to 34-26 Win over No. 22 Arizona
Castellanos sparked Texas Tech’s first opening touchdown drive since the season opener and preserved the job after a court ruling kept 30 athletes eligible.
- On Saturday, Texas Tech quarterback Tommy Castellanos started over Will Hammond, leading the Red Raiders to a 34-26 victory over Arizona in Lubbock, Texas.
- Coach Joey McGuire benched Hammond following a 37-24 loss to Cincinnati, saying he was "as frustrated as I've ever been in 32 years of coaching."
- Castellanos threw two touchdown passes and rushed for 117 yards, while J'Koby Williams added 175 yards as the Red Raiders tied a school record with their 13th consecutive home victory.
- Arizona saw its five-game winning streak end in the loss, and the Wildcats also lost freshman receiver R.J. Mosley to an apparently serious leg injury.
- Castellanos' start followed a court ruling preserving the eligibility of Castellanos and 29 other athletes in a fifth-year lawsuit; Texas Tech hosts West Virginia next Saturday.
