No. 3 TCU outlasts Texas Tech 55-52 on tipped pass

A Texas Tech win on Saturday would match the Red Raiders’ victory total from last season. Hopefully, they will be more competitive than Saturday night’s. Next week Texas Tech gets No. 5 Baylor at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

That’s been a big criticism of Coach Handsome, Kliff Kingsbury. And I’m the only one over there. But all that aside, what Mike Leach built in his time in Lubbock was incredible. Texas Tech’s inability to get off the field on 3rd down, especially 3rd and long, is starting to burn them. They finished 5-6 that season, the only losing record for the program since 1993.

The other Big 12 team rising looks to be West Virginia. So, can you build a victor in Lubbock? Especially when you consider that OU and UT fell off BIG time shortly after he left. Georgia Tech has dropped back-to-back games to Notre Dame and Duke and still has to face Clemson, Georgia and Florida State. “He’ll have ’em in the right spot and they’ll play hard”.

OU junior goalkeeper Kassidie Stade moved to 3-4-1 on the season, while Texas Tech junior Lauren Watson is now 6-1-3.

Oklahoma State (4-0, 1-0 Big 12) nearly didn’t get a chance at Grogan’s victor when the Cowboys were penalized with 10 seconds left. Shoot, Kansas, Houston and SMU are pulling in four star kids!

Deal got the Badgers’ own rushing attack going with a pair of 2-yard touchdown runs in the first half. If this game is any indication, the Big 12 is going to be the land of offensive craziness once again.

Jones played better than he did a week ago, when he was benched in the second quarter of a seven-point victory over Northern Illinois. Josh Doctson has 17 catches for 326 yards and 3 touchdowns. His QB rating is 161.3 according to ESPN.

While discussing the upcoming play with his running back, DeAndre Washington, the ball was snapped behind Mahomes’ head and into the end zone.

This season, both Mahomes and Boykin have thrown only three interceptions each along with their great numbers.

“We’ve got a lot of work to do, but it’s good to be 4-0″, Sudfeld. Tech’s defense starting show some signs of becoming winded.

Doctson, like Boykin, had given up all hope once the ball skipped off his fingers. And he just catches it, makes an unbelievable play. Mahomes is not quite the elusive runner that Matt Davis is, but he can still tote the rock. We’ll see if TCU rides this moment as far as Nebraska did.

“We just played with a ton of effort without the ball in this game”, Doctson said. They went 4-8 past year.

“I put the ball in the air because I knew he could out-jump everybody”, Boykin said.

Patterson is a defensive wizard, but few teams could sustain that much carnage without slipping.

For Patterson and company though, it’s all about moving past mistakes and looking forward to the next opponent. Texas Tech reclaims the lead 45-40.
