WELCOME TO QUARTERBACK U. Texas Tech’s offense did a complete one-eighty when Mike Leach took over as head coach in 2000. Once a powerful rushing machine that produced two Doak Walker Award winners in the ‘90s, the offense has become one of the nation’s most prolific passing units over the last six seasons. Leading the charge has been a group of quarterbacks that has consistently been among the national leaders in nearly every passing category year-in and year-out. Kliff Kingsbury (1999-02) and B.J. Symons (2000-03) were both Davey O’Brien candidates and each won the coveted Sammy Baugh Trophy during their respective senior seasons. Sonny Cumbie (2001-04) and quarterback Cody Hodges (2002-05) along with Symons comprised the starting quarterbacks each of the last three seasons.
