Yesterday, the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers, 31-20 to win Super Bowl LIV. Chiefs quarterback and former Texas Tech Red Raider, Patrick Mahomes, won the Super Bowl MVP with a great performance to help his team overcome a 20-10 fourth quarter deficit. Mahomes won the NFL's MVP award a year ago and now claims a Super Bowl, cementing himself as one of the game's best players. But one thing West Virginia fans will always remember, is that Mahomes never beat the Mountaineers when he was in college.
