Patrick Mahomes’ support for his alma mater, Texas Tech, shines through even in the face of a nail-biting win. Despite the Red Raiders’ narrow 52-51 victory over Abilene Christian, a tough FCS opponent, Mahomes tweeted “1-0” to celebrate the win. His tweet sparked mixed reactions, with some fans expressing disappointment over the team’s performance, especially given the close scoreline against a lower-tier team.
Texas Tech’s game was dramatic, with Abilene Christian rallying in the final quarter to tie the game and force overtime. The Wildcats’ failed two-point conversion attempt in OT sealed the victory for the Red Raiders. Despite the shaky finish, Mahomes’ loyalty to Texas Tech remains evident, reflecting his pride in his college career where he set numerous records and became a standout player.
Next week’s matchup against Washington State will certainly test the Red Raiders’ ability to build on their season-opening win and prove their strength on the field.
