Ehlinger and No. 8 Texas open Big 12 play at Texas Tech

Texas Tech quarterback Alan Bowman (10) warms up prior to an NCAA college football game against Arizona, Saturday, Sept. 14, 2019, in Tucson, Ariz. Texas quarterback Sam Ehlinger lost his top receiving targets from a year ago but has found plenty of options so far in 2020. The No. 8 Longhorns spread around seven touchdowns to seven different receivers in their first game. Now they go on the road to open Big 12 play against Texas Tech. Bowman was one of the top freshman quarterbacks in the country in 2018 only to have part of that season and much of 2019 wiped out by injuries. He's back and threw for 430 yards against Houston Baptist. (AP Photo/Ralph Freso)
