No. 19 TCU 28, No. 7 Baylor 21

With winds, lightning, chilly temperatures and non-stop rain, she bogged down two of the best offenses in the country.

There’s more on the line than just bragging rights when No. 7 Baylor faces No. 19 TCU on Friday night.

The story of the game for almost 60 minutes, though, was the weather.

But in so many ways, TCU’s 10-2 record was as impressive and as satisfying as any season in Patterson’s tenure, which is saying something given that the Horned Frogs have finished in the top-10 five times in the last decade and went unbeaten in 2010. Officials eyed the ball placement and chose not to measure after hundreds of thrilled TCU fans poured onto the field at Amon Carter Stadium to celebrate. “It was a defensive game and Coach P had them well prepared and they showed up to play”.

A Chafin fumble gave the Frogs a chance near midfield, but they got to the Baylor 44 and no closer.

A win over Oklahoma State has given Baylor (9-1) new life while TCU (9-2) has lost two of its last three games.

Oakman is one of the biggest, scariest defenders in college football. The Cowboys were 11th.

The Big 12 may not feel the same way.

Briles has talked with team leaders since the loss at TCU and described them as being obviously frustrated and disappointed.

TCU got to 10 victories for the 10th time in the past 14 seasons under Coach Gary Patterson, and a measure of revenge for that 61-58 loss in Waco last season. The Frogs are going to have to find a way to get someone else going, whether that is Aaron Green or somebody else.

Horned Frogs linebacker Julius Lewis stopped Baylor running back Devin Chafin for no gain on fourth-and-one from the TCU 16 on the Bears’ second-overtime possession.

Regulation ended at 14-14. And then, that could be a great accomplishment for our football team. Playing without starting quarterback Seth Russell, who’s out for the year, and backup Jarrett Stidham, who left Saturday’s game with an injury, Baylor turned to third-stringer Chris Johnson, who proceeded to play like a superstar. Chafin has 384 yards and eight touchdowns on the season despite being injured for three full games earlier this year. “It still no excuses. But no excuses, TCU played in the same rain we did, the same weather, the same conditions”.

TCU punted 13 times, which was one kick away from tying the Big 12 record. Johnson will make his first career start after throwing for 138 yards and two touchdowns in last week’s win over Oklahoma State.

The Burkburnett graduate rushed for 119 yards and two touchdowns while also catching a 4-yard TD pass in the first overtime.

There were seven turnovers in the game. And they only surrendered 21 points, the fewest points Baylor has scored in a game since 2013.

The only conclusion that makes sense in this topsy-turvy 2015 season is one that doesn’t make sense and that will be for the Boomers, a 6 1/2 point favorite, to crash and burn in Stillwater.

Kansas State (5-6, 2-6 Big 12) can get its sixth win for bowl eligibility in the regular-season finale at home against West Virginia (7-4, 4-4).

“I saw the ball pop out, so I just figured why not run it into the end zone”, Carraway said.
