Mahomes raped this defense for 370 yards and 4 TD's with 1 NFL caliber OL (Le'Raven Clark), 2 late round players (DeAndre washington/Jakeem Grant) and a future mid rd prospect (Jonathan Giles).

Arden Key pretty much single-handedly knocked Le'Raven Clark from a 1st round pick to 3rd round pick in that game. Clark got his ass kicked bad. Key was just too dang quick and fast for him. This was definitely the game that convinced me of Pat's potential. We have a lot of bad defenses in the Big 12, so you weren't really sure what to make of Pat's playmaking ability early in his career.
The LSU game is really where you say, OK it's not just crappy defense. The kid can really pull magic tricks out of the hat even when his team is completely overmatched. He has some very special talent. One would hope in the NFL he will never have his offensive line getting blown up like that on every single down.
