After yet another extended stay, Texas Tech’s starting quarterback is back home again.
Alan Bowman was hospitalized again this past weekend after suffering a partially-collapsed lung during the loss to Oklahoma. It marked the second time this season that the true freshman has been hospitalized for the same issue, the first coming in late September.
Wednesday, the football program announced, Bowman was released from the hospital earlier in the day after yet another four-day stay.
According to the program’s release, Bowman “will rejoin team activities [Thursday] morning"; it’s expected that Bowman will be unable to play in this Saturday’s game against Texas because of the issue.
The first case of a collapsed lung kept Bowman out of the TCU game Oct. 11 after he suffered the injury Sept. 29 against West Virginia.
Bowman is currently fourth in the nation and first in the Big 12 as he’s averaging 329.8 yards passing per game. Sophomore Jett Duffey, who has passed for 627 yards, four touchdowns and four interceptions in completing 48-of-80 passes this season, will likely get the start against the Longhorns Saturday night in Lubbock.
