Overview
- Dickey exited Texas Tech’s game versus Colorado after four carries when his ankle bent awkwardly and he was taken to the locker room.
- Coach Joey McGuire said X-rays were negative and called the injury most likely a high-ankle sprain.
- On3 reporter Pete Nakos has reported that Dickey is expected to miss time but the injury is not believed to be season-ending.
- Quinten Joyner filled in with 63 yards and a 30-yard touchdown while the staff scaled back the wildcat package because backups had not practiced it as much and tight end Terrance Carter was identified as a contingency.
- Dickey entered the season as a key short-yardage weapon with 57 carries for 242 yards and four rushing touchdowns and his absence tests Texas Tech’s depth as the team uses the upcoming bye and its mid-November road game at Oklahoma to shape a return timeline.
