When starter McLane Carter went down with an ankle injury in the first quarter, many Red Raider fans expected sophomore Jett Duffey to come in. That proved not to be the case, as Kliff Kingsbury rolled with true freshman Alan Bowman. Bowman inherited a 17-7 deficit, and essentially played even with Ole Miss after that point, as the Red Raiders gained more yards than the Rebels in the second half, and had four strong drives into Ole Miss territory. Bowman completed 29/49 passes for 273 yards and a touchdown. Despite relatively strong stats, many fans believed Bowman was awful and should not have been on the field in favor of Duffey, while other non Red Raider fans thought he played well.
2OT: Is Alan Bowman the answer at quarterback?
