Red Raiders looking for Pat Mahomes to make smart moves in Tempe

Despite his team scoring 69 points, rolling up 758 yards and racking up 37 first downs, Texas Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury was not overly pleased with his offense in a 69-17 Week 1 victory over Stephen F. Austin.

"We have some good playmakers that can make stuff happen in open space. We have (quarterback) Pat [Mahomes], so we covered a lot of things by playing some street ball," Kingsbury said. "But we have to get a lot better and tighten things up and be a lot more physical this week."

Kingsbury knows the Red Raiders will face defenses this season that are just as athletic and just as talented as Tech's offense.
