Red Raiders jump to big early lead, hold off potential game-tying Horned Frogs scoring drive in final minutes
TCU was primed to pull off a dramatic comeback on the road at Texas Tech on Thursday, reminiscent of last season’s come-from-behind win over the Red Raiders.Now sitting at 4-5, the possibility of missing a bowl game is bigger than ever.
After the TCU defense held the Red Raiders and forced them to punt, the Horned Frogs had one final opportunity to win the game or tie it and force overtime. In the second half Hoover settled down and made one of the best throws of his young career. On 3rd-and-14, the Red Raiders sent the house at Hoover, but he was able to escape and spin to his left before eventually floating a deep ball to Jared Wiley for a 35-yard gain. On that same drive Hoover converted another third-and-long with a strike to JoJo Earle.
TCU had a firm understanding of what it needed to do defensively and priority No. 1 was to shut down Red Raiders star running back Tahj Brooks. The Horned Frogs failed that task as Brooks rushed for 146 yards on 31 carries, including 98 yards on 20 carries in the first half.
