Johnson-Imagn ImagesIf you have Patrick Mahomes as your quarterback, you have just about everything truly necessary for your team to go out and have at least a moderately successful season. And yet, as Texas Tech Red Raider fans saw back in 2016, somehow, some way, Kliff Kingsbury’s team wasn’t able to make it to a bowl game in Mahomes’ final season in Lubbock.
And that is such a shame.
