Overview
- Morton left in the second quarter after Kansas edge rusher Leroy Harris III landed on his lower right leg on a sack, and he did not return.
- Redshirt freshman Will Hammond replaced him, ran for two touchdowns, and No. 9 Texas Tech closed out a 42-17 victory to move to 6-0.
- McGuire said Monday that Morton feels better than after his season-opening hyperextended right knee, and ESPN reported he is considered day-to-day.
- This marked Morton's third in-game exit this season, following the opener’s knee injury and a head/neck hit that sidelined him during the win at Utah.
- Defensive tackle Skyler Gill-Howard was carted off with an ankle/leg injury; X-rays were negative and he was placed in a walking boot as evaluations continue.
