SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Texas Tech quarterback Behren Morton took a big hit on the run and was ruled out of the 17th-ranked Red Raiders' game against No. 16 Utah on Saturday.
Morton's helmet slammed on the turf after he slid head first into contact with Utah linebacker Johnathan Hall during his team's opening drive of the third quarter.
Officials reviewed the play for targeting but deemed it a clean hit by Hall.
A member of the Texas Tech medical staff escorted Morton to the locker room to be evaluated for a potential concussion. Backup quarterback Will Hammond took over for Morton on the Red Raiders' next drive.
Morton exited for a couple of plays in the first half after getting shaken up on a hard hit from Utah defensive end John Henry Daley.
He threw for 142 yards with two interceptions on 12-of-19 passing. Texas Tech led 10-3 when he was ruled out.
Morton entered Saturday having passed for 923 yards and 11 touchdowns in his first three games.
