The Texas Tech football team will have to do without quarterback Steven Sheffield for a while longer.
A source who initially confirmed Sheffield would be out at least two to three weeks said that time frame “was probably unrealistic.’’
Another said, “The four weeks will probably be pushing it, but hopefully he can get there.’’
Tech has an open date this weekend. The Red Raiders’ next game is Nov. 14 at Oklahoma State, four weeks after Sheffield’s injury. He probably would need at least a week of practice with the offense before getting back into a game.
Sheffield, who gave the team a lift during a three-game winning streak at the beginning of October, remained on crutches on the sideline Saturday during Tech’s 42-21 victory against Kansas. Seth Doege made his first career start in that game, but he was replaced by Taylor Potts for the entire second half.
“The quarterback, whoever is in there, doesn’t really dictate what we do as far as receivers, (offensive) linemen, running backs,’’ running back Baron Batch said after the game. “We’ve just got to do what we do, whoever’s in there.
