Not many. Biggest weather factor in Lubbock was usually the howling winds. Watched him play in a few games on a wet field. Didn't affect his throwing, but it did affect his footwork (scrambling out of the pocket). But the boy can adjust to wind, cold, rain or whatever at seemingly warp speed and still make you shake your head in awe wondering "How the hell did he DO that?"
The comeback in the fourth quarter is what I was waiting to see. I, and other Tech alumni here, have stated over and over that the young man's biggest attribute is that he just doesn't ever quit or give up AND he finds a way to pull it off almost every single time.
I might be run off from here for mentioning these two names, but the facts are facts--Roger Staubach and John Elway struck absolute terror into opposing teams who managed to get a lead on them late in the game because you knew that you could never count Staubach or Elway out. More importantly, Staubach and Elway's teammates knew that so long as their quarterback was in the huddle and had a pulse, more than likely they were going to come back and win the game.
Mahomes has that same aura about him. A natural leader, you can already see the confidence he is inspiring in not just his offensive teammates, but the entire team. When you got a guy like Mahomes behind center and doing the things he does, the receivers run their routes just a little bit crisper, the running backs make their cuts a bit sharper, the line puts a little more uumph into their blocks, the punters and kickers give a little extra leg. . .
As far as the KC defense. . .
