Texas Tech is expected to adjust its offensive approach by having Thomas Castellanos split quarterback repetitions with Will Hammond, according to a report published October 30.
The decision follows a loss to Cincinnati where the Red Raiders were outplayed throughout the game, prompting a response from Texas Tech chairman Cody Campbell.
The move toward a two-quarterback system comes as Will Hammond has struggled to find rhythm in the offense, recording six touchdowns and six interceptions. Castellanos, who transferred from Florida State and is currently in his fifth season, has recorded four total touchdowns this year—two passing and two rushing—along with one interception against Houston.
Castellanos has previously faced eligibility challenges due to NCAA rules. While he was ruled ineligible on Oct. 2, a judge in the Kentucky court of appeals upheld a preliminary injunction on Oct. 16 that kept him eligible to play.
The upcoming adjustment against Arizona occurs as Texas Tech and BYU both lost last week. For teams in the Big 12, winning the conference remains a primary route to the College Football Playoff.
