MAHOMES RECORDS 12TH RUSHING TOUCHDOWN, MOST EVER BY A TEXAS TECH QUARTERBACK
• Patrick Mahomes II recorded his 11th rushing touchdown of the season on a four-yard scamper with 2:14 remaining in the first quarter. It broke the single-season school record for a Texas Tech quarterback, snapping the previous mark of 10 rushing touchdowns that was set by Rodney Allison in 1976. He later added a seven-yard touchdown scamper late in the third quarter.
• This is the 15th game (out of 23) since the start of the 2015 season where Mahomes has had at least one passing touchdown and one rushing touchdown in a contest which is the most for a FBS quarterback during that span, according to ESPN Stats and Info.
• Mahomes finished 34-of-51 for 344 yards and three touchdowns through the air while adding 33 yards and two touchdowns off 15 carries on the ground. It marked the sixth time this season where Mahomes has accounted for at least five touchdowns in a game.
• Mahomes extended his streak of consecutive games with a TD pass to 26, tied with DeShaun Watson for the longest active streak in the FBS.

• Jonathan Giles surpassed the 1,000 yard receiving mark early in the second quarter as he hauled in a 24-yard pass from Mahomes. Giles finished with five catches for 77 yards, giving him 1,059 receiving yards this season, 40 shy of Wes Welker's 2003 total of 1,099 that ranks 10th in Tech single-season history.
