ARLINGTON, Texas -- Patrick Mahomes had another stellar game for Texas Tech in an NFL stadium. The Red Raiders now wait to find out if the dual-threat quarterback stays for his senior season or leaves early for the NFL draft.In what might have been his last college game, Mahomes threw for 586 yards and matched a career high with six touchdown passes as Texas Tech won its season finale 54-35 over Baylor on Friday night.Im just focused on we got the win and celebrating with my teammates, Mahomes said. Ill get a little bit of a break to go home and enjoy my family and friends, and then Ill talk with Coach Kingsbury, talk to my family, and figure out whats the best decision.Mahomes completed 30 of 46 passes in the season finale and finished the season with 5,052 yards passing -- a national-leading 421 per game for the Red Raiders (5-7, 3-6 Big 12). He became only third FBS player with multiple seasons of more than 5,000 total yards,Red Raiders coach Kliff Kingsbury said the next step is determining Mahomes potential draft process and that they would submit this weekend to begin that process.I know what Id like to tell him, Kingsbury said, with a smile. If the money is right and he needs to go, do that. If its not, if theres some way we can improve and improve his skill set and his talent, then hell come back and well do it again.The two teams combined for 1,300 total yards (666 for the Red Raiders, 634 for the Bears).

Because I knew we had a lot of things going on and swirling around outside the program that could affect us.Bears freshman quarterback Zach Smith was 30-of-46 passing for 377 yards with three touchdowns and an interception in his second start since senior Seth Russells ankle surgery.Texas Tech led 34-7 midway through the second quarter after Mahomes 80-yard pass to Keke Coutee, who finished with eight catches for 221 yards. Coutee made the catch near midfield and spun away from the grasp of a defender.Mahomes had thrown an 81-yard TD to Quan Shorts on his previous pass, and earlier, a 40-yard score to Dylan Cantrell immediately after a Bears fumble. The 80- and 81-yard TDs both came on the first plays after Baylor had been stopped on fourth down.He can keep the plays alive, and he always keeps his eyes downfield, Baylor linebacker Aiavion Edwards said. If you give you any time at all, hes going to find an open target, and most likely deep.And fast.THE TAKEAWAYBaylor: The Bears now have their longest losing streak since dropping nine in a row.

A month before Justin Crawford filled two of the most important shoes left open after last season at West Virginia, he was working nights at Taco Bell.Sound appetizing?Crawford, in fact, harbored no affinity for cheesy gorditas. He needed to support his family, a quest that predates his two years at Northwest Mississippi Community College and took a sharp turn in January.In the week after West Virginia won the Cactus Bowl, Big 12 rushing leader Wendell Smallwood declared for the NFL draft, a major loss for the Mountaineers.WVU planned to sign a pair of backs in its 2016 class, and veteran Rushel Shell was set to return as the workhorse. But offensive coordinator Joe Wickline and running backs coach Jajuan Seider knew they needed something more at the position to operate offensively as envisioned.Right away, film surfaced of Crawford. He had committed to Louisville out of high school in Columbus, Georgia, and was considering Missouri and South Carolina after he rushed for 1,610 yards and 16 touchdowns as a junior college sophomore.But widespread recruiting attention had evaded the NJCAA offensive player of the year.The first thing I said was, How in the heck is this kid still available? Seider said.He was Smallwood all over again, thought Seider. If Crawford checked out OK, the coach vowed to recruit Crawford with maximum intensity in the four weeks that remained before signing day.Turns out, checking on Crawford found a motivated prospect who didnt care about labels and wanted to work for all that he received.He doesnt have his hand out, West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen said, which is refreshing.As a first-year player, Holgorsen has not allowed Crawford to speak to the media. So far, hes play is speaking loudly enough. Through three games, Crawford leads West Virginia in rushing with 227 yards while splitting time with Shell. The newcomer has also caught eight passes, most among WVU running backs. He adds a play-making element to an underrated group of skill players as unbeaten West Virginia opens Big 12 play Saturday at home against Kansas State (3:30 p.m. ET, ESPNU).Holgorsen said he, too, harbored initial concerns about Crawford, who attempted to divide his time between family, academics and football in a way that most players fail to understand.You always worry about kids like that, the sixth-year WVU coach said, if theyre going to use [the family] as an excuse to not do what theyre supposed to do -- or if theyre going to use it as motivation to make something of themselves.Crawford largely erased any concerns in the summer, weeks after he arrived on campus in Morgantown. He formed an immediate bond with Shell, who is the father of three children, and went to work at cementing his spot as a leader among the Mountaineers.Hes not afraid to speak his mind, said Seider, the running backs coach. He will say some things that make you wonder. He comes off a little different, but hes exactly what every team needs. He has a voice on the team. As soon as he stepped onn the field in the summer, he brought it.dddddddddddd.And then, Crawford really went to work.In July, he got a job at a Taco Bell near the WVU campus.The coaches in Morgantown learned of Crawfords situation and brought him in for a long talk.Dude, you cant do this when the season starts, Holgorsen said he told Crawford.Crawford said he understood but told the coaches that practice didnt begin for another two weeks. He wanted to keep working -- and he did, until about Aug. 1, supporting his wife and two boys.Thats a kid I want, Seider said, because hes highly motivated. He didnt want to have to do it, but he was being Justin. He was just being a man; thats what I call it. He was being a man and taking care of responsibilities.And this was nothing new.While playing junior college ball in Senatobia, Mississippi, Crawford held several jobs in fast food and elsewhere, according to Northwest Mississippi CC coach Benjy Parker, who was defensive coordinator at the school during Crawfords juco career.His team often played Thursday games, so Crawford arranged his work schedule for Friday and Saturday while teammates got their rest.If he had a free minute, he wanted to go work for his money, Parker said. When I saw that, it said a whole lot to me about his character.Justin and Chakeya were married before Crawfords sophomore year in Mississippi.Crawford is one of seven siblings. After his father died, Crawford attended two years of high school in Gainesville, Florida, then moved to Georgia.When his team won the Mississippi Bowl in December and Crawford accumulated 190 yards and scored twice in his final junior college game, he broke down in tears, wishing that his father could have seen him play at this level.A lot of people saw him running the ball 25 times on Thursday nights, said Jake Long, the Northwest Mississippi athletic academic advisor who has remained close to Crawford. They didnt know the whole story.The whole story now includes a chapter about Crawfords early success at West Virginia.In the Mountaineers 26-11 victory over Missouri to open the season, Crawford rushed 21 times for 101 yards and caught five passes. More notably, Seider said, Crawford scored better than a 95 on the Mountaineers grading scale.He had no missed assignments, Seider said. I looked at that and said it cant be right. But it was.Teammates notice that Crawford has backed up his talk.Its kind of do or die for him, West Virginia quarterback Skyler Howard said. He wants to support his family and wants to put food on the table, whether thats with a degree or going to the NFL.His wife secured work in Morgantown. Additionally, because of his unique circumstances, Crawford may be eligible to receive extra assistance from West Virginia through his cost-of-attendance stipend.And he continues to work to support his family -- solely, though, as a student and through football.
