Opponent: Kansas

  • Swing passes are consistently poorly thrown
  • Cantrell bailed Mahomes out with a magnificent grab in the first quarter
  • Giles has wheels (first quarter TD)
  • Cameron Batson’s a playmaker!
  • WTF INT to Smithson
  • Giles is FAST!
  • Pressure just causes Mahomes to panic
  • Back foot throws are the rule (not the exception)
  • Derrick Willies made a GREAT catch in traffic to avoid Mahomes’ pass being picked
  • Batson’s damn good in the open field
  • Coutee with a ridiculous second quarter TD catch
  • Slant throws typically high
  • SICK catch for TD by Willies to end the half
  • 3rd and 9 sack in third quarter was AWFUL! He lost 22 yards!!
  • Great play on a QB draw!

Opponent: Oklahoma State

  • Throws to sidelines? WOOF!
  • Ran into a sack
  • Cantrell having a day!
  • Long, wind-up delivery
  • SICK ball fake on a read-option play
  • One-handed grab by Cantrell!
  • Great contested catch by Batson
  • So many wayward throws
  • Mahomes line is GAB-BAGE!
  • Fourth Quarter near pick in the redzone was TURR-IBLE (Charles Barkley voice)
  • Giles can go with the ball in his hands!
