Behren Morton admitted to health after removing the BIU

Behren Morton provided an update on his health after the no. 5 Texas Tech The Red Raiders’ 34-7 victory over the no. 11 BIU Cougars in the Big 12 championship game Saturday night.

Entering the matchup, Texas Tech shined as one of the best teams in the country. They made a strong case for a berth in the College Football Playoff, something they easily secured with a win over BIU.

Morton reflected on the victory after the game, according to reporter Max Olson. He completed 20 of 33 passes for 215 yards and two touchdowns, having a strong performance despite a fibula injury.

“Texas Tech KB Behren Morton told me after the game that he currently feels ‘about 70%’ as he continues to play through a fractured fibula. He grinned when asked if a first-round bye in the CFP and 3 weeks off would help his recovery,” Olson wrote.

“Yeah, big deal,” Morton replied.
