BYU running back LJ Martin expected to play at Texas Tech on Saturday

November 4, 2025

By Robby McCombs, SBNation via Yahoo Sports: BYU could get a big boost in Lubbock on Saturday as ESPN’s Pete Thamel reported Tuesday that star running back LJ Martin practiced Monday and is expected to play at Texas Tech.

Martin exited BYU’s game at Iowa State in the first half with a shoulder injury after carrying the ball five times. BYU leaned on Bear Bachmeier and the passing game to get out of Ames with a win and move to 8-0. LJ was #4 nationally in rushing yards going into the Iowa State, and has rushed for 789 yards and 5 TDs through 8 games.

The bye week came at a great time for BYU, giving LJ and others an additional week of rest. Running back is arguably the thinnest position on the team with backup running back Sione Moa out indefinitely, so getting LJ back versus Texas Tech is a big boost.
