Kliff Kingsbury knows who will be quarterbacking Texas Tech Monday night against Arizona State in the 36th annual National University Holiday Bowl.

But the Red Raiders head coach isnt ready to identify his triggerman.

Weve made our decision, but the official announcement wont come until offense takes the field, Kingsbury said Friday morning.

All we know is that the player directing the Texas Tech offense wont be Big 12 Offensive Freshman of the Year Baker Mayfield.

Mayfield, who went from walk-on to starter before the start of the season, stunned everyone earlier this month when he walked into Kingsburys office in Lubbock and announced he was going to transfer out of Texas Tech.

Mayfields decision still has many Red Raider backers, and Kingsbury, shaking their heads in disbelief.

Why would a freshman quarterback walk away from directing the NCAAs most pass-happy offense?

I still cant answer that and Ive thought about that a lot, Kingsbury said recently.

Minus Mayfield, the choices to quarterback Texas Tech against the Sun Devils are Davis Webb and Michael Brewer.

Like Mayfield, Webb is a freshman who started five games for Texas Tech this season after Mayfield suffered a knee injury in the fifth game of the season. Brewer is a sophomore.
