LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) —
    Texas Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury calls his options at quarterback this season a luxury.
    Sophomore Patrick Mahomes and junior Davis Webb will vie for the starting spot, and Kingsbury says the competition will make each better.
    Webb, coming off a season-ending ankle injury and shoulder surgery on his non-throwing arm, started eight games last season, while Mahomes started four.
    "It's the best I've ever felt as a coach as far as depth at a quarterback position, because we have two guys who've played games," said Kingsbury, in his third year as coach of his alma mater. "Both guys can get it done."
    The Red Raiders finished 4-8 last season, ending four games below .500 for the first time since 1983 and with the fewest overall victories since 1990. They won just two Big 12 games, their fewest since the league began in 1996.
    Kingsbury's quarterback decision will come before the end of fall workouts but the public may not know his choice until the opener at home Sept. 5 against Sam Houston State. His main criteria will be which one can protect the ball. Last year, the team had 28 turnovers. The previous season's tally was 33.
    "That kind of tells you where we're at," Kingsbury said. "You can't do that and be successful."
