College Football Quarterback Power Rankings: Week 10

Texas Tech has one of the worst run games in college football. In fact, the Red Raiders rank 124th out of 128 FBS teams in terms of rushing yards per game with just over 100. They would probably be dead-last if it weren’t for Patrick Mahomes’ ability to run as well as pass.

The junior quarterback is second on the team with 276 rushing yards and also has 10 scores on the ground. He is considered one of the top NFL quarterback prospects in the country and also leads college football in passing yards with the No. 1 aerial attack out there.

Mahomes’ 3,519 yards through the air rank first in the country in terms of individual passing leaders by about 600 yards over Luke Falk. He has made it look easy, too. Everyone knows Texas Tech is going to throw the ball 80 percent of the time, yet opponents have a hard time stopping the dual-threat — just ask Oklahoma.

Why do I bring up the Sooners? Well, Mahomes had a record-breaking performance against Oklahoma a couple of weeks ago, passing for 734 yards, five touchdowns and an interception. He also rushed for 85 yards and two scores in a 66-59 loss.

This kid would probably be in the top-three if the Red Raiders were a complete team and not just the Fighting Mahomes.
