Talbot: Texas Tech beats TCU with blood, sweat and "Beast Mode"

FORT WORTH — The blood trickled down Patrick Mahomes II’s forearm.

Above it was a smattering of other bruises and turf burns. Some were old but irritated, others were nice, fresh and bloody.

And the majority of what he did Saturday was hand the football off.

Hate to see what freshman running back Da’Leon Ward looks like after shouldering the load of the Texas Tech offense in a 27-24 double overtime win over TCU at Amon G. Carter Stadium.

But, he probably, doesn’t care how banged up he is today.

This is every running back’s dream right?
