Texas Football: Standout RB Tahj Brooks injured for Texas Tech
Enormous injury news descended for the resistance for new Texas football lead trainer Steve Sarkisian in the Big 12 opener this end of the week in the Texas Tech Red Raiders. A report from Horns247 (paid substance) communicates that Texas Tech and lead trainer Matt Wells could be without champion 5-foot-10 and 220-pound sophomore running back Tahj Brooks got harmed for the current week and his status "could be in question" against Texas on Sep. 25.
Texas Tech is presently getting back its stud running back that truly got through last season in SaRodorick Thompson from a chest area injury. Similarly as Texas Tech is getting back Thompson, it seems as though Brooks could be out this end of the week in an immense matchup in Austin against the Longhorns.
This could be a chance for Pete Kwiatkowski to zero in additional on halting the pass against the Red Raiders and hostile facilitator Sonny Cumbie this end of the week in case Brooks is either restricted or out totally.
Streams is perhaps the greatest weapon that the Red Raiders have on one or the other side of the ball. In case he is restricted in any capacity this end of the week, that will come down on any semblance of quarterback Tyler Shough, Thompson, and wide recipient Erik Ezukanman, to bear the heap on offense.
What's more, this could likewise imply that Tech gives a greater responsibility out of the backfield to the couple of Thompson and redshirt junior previous changed over wide collector Xavier White. However, it very well may be undeniably challenging to compensate for the creation that Brooks brought to the table in the initial three rounds of this season.
Up until this point, Brooks enlisted 284 hurrying yards on 35 conveys (8.1 yards per convey), and four surging scores. He is driving the group in hurrying yards, scores, and yards per convey this season.
With the probability of Thompson beginning for the Red Raiders at running back going up with this news, this implies that Wells must surge back the recuperating upperclassmen likely quicker than initially expected. Thompson was recuperating from injury since spring, and got his first genuine activity against FIU in a success for Tech last end of the week.
