Texas Tech quarterback Behren Morton has fully recovered from a hairline fracture in his right fibula and is practicing at nearly 100% ahead of the College Football Playoff quarterfinal against Oregon. Morton, who played through injury this season, spent 7-8 weeks in a walking boot and experienced limited mobility, but the 26-day layoff since the Big 12 Championship has allowed him to regain much of his mobility and confidence. He has thrown for 2,643 yards, 22 touchdowns, and only 4 interceptions in 2025. Morton’s improved health is a key factor for Texas Tech's first-ever CFP appearance, especially with backup QB Will Hammond injured. Oregon faces a rejuvenated Texas Tech team with Morton’s mobility and passing ability, which could pose a significant challenge for the Ducks. Morton emphasizes playing simple, standard football and attacking opportunities, leveraging his improved mobility and the Red Raiders’ strong receiving corps. The game is scheduled for January 1 at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida.
