This week Arizona State has the pleasure of having to defend that nation’s total offensive leader.
Tech junior quarterback Patrick Mahomes leads the country in total offensive racking up 540 yards against Stephen F. Austin in just about two and a half quarters of work.
His performance was enough to garner the attention of their next opponent, and lead ASU’s Todd Graham to label Mahomes as one of the best in the country.
“It’s an Air Raid system. They’re very, very well coached, and (Mahomes) really understands the system. He’s big. He’s hard to tackle,” Graham said. “He has a very quick release, and they spread you all over the place, so obviously the strength of their team is their offense and their ability to score points. So it’ll be a big challenge. (Mahomes is) probably as good as a quarterback as there is out there. He’s gotta be one of the best, if not the best in the Big 12. Gotta be up there because he is a phenomenal player.”
