LUBBOCK -- Texas Tech's Mike Leach talks often about how players need to play through pain as the season wears on.

Now he'll have to walk his talk.

Leach said today he broke a bone in his right arm. He hit the pavement after falling from his bicycle Friday.

Leach says he got a flat tire and tried to fill it with enough air to make it to his destination, but "it proceeded to run out of air. I took a routine turn, then went into a slide, so then it broke the arm."
