TCU staff and players run onto the field celebrating a 28-21 double-overtime win against Baylor in an NCAA college football game, Friday, Nov. 27, 2015, in Fort Worth, Texas.

Both teams scored on their initial overtime possessions, TCU on Trevone Boykin’s one-yard touchdown run and BU on Devin Chafin’s four-yard touchdown reception from first-time quarterback starter Chris Johnson; that was the Bears first completed pass since the first half.
TCU (10-2, 7-2 Big 12) got to 10 wins for the 10th time in the past 14 seasons under coach Gary Patterson, and a measure of revenge for a 61-58 loss in Waco last season while knocking the Bears (9-2, 6-2, No. 7 CFP) out of contention for a third consecutive Big 12 title.
Oklahoma barely survived a close call with TCU as a failed last-minute two-point conversion helped them hold on for a 30-29 win over their Big 12 rival last Saturday night.
If Boykin, who was a Heisman contender before his injury, can’t go, Kohlhausen will likely get the nod, Patterson said.
“We knew we were in a situation of where if something happened to Stidham, he’d have to be ready to go, and he was ready”, Briles said. Green has run the football well by having two straight games over 100 yards, he has a good chance to do that again tonight. According to a school source, Boykin is expected to start. In the rain. Then we lost that QB to injury and won in Stillwater, a place that Art Briles had never won.
“It’s an awesome feeling”, defensive end Josh Carraway said. But on the second fourth-and-1 attempt, the TCU defense dropped him for a loss, thus ending the game.
The #7 Baylor Bears traveled to Dallas to take on the #19 TCU Horned Frogs on what turned out to be a rainy night that saw the game delayed at the start due to a lightening storm in the area. They would need to win this game, as well as their next on December 5 at home against the Texas Longhorns. I think it’s safe to say that Oklahoma’s running attack is legitimately legit now.
TCU-Carraway 56 fumble return (Oberkrom kick), 12:55.
But that wasn’t TCU’s concern after stopping Baylor on a fourth-and-1 in the second overtime, prompting students to flood the field with people instead of rain.
Quarterback injuries are looming over several games and in many cases coaches tend to be coy about the status of their key players.
One of the biggest series came with the Bears backed up inside their own 1-yard line with 2:10 left in the game and TCU holding all three timeouts.
Neither team had over 200 yards of offense in the first half, and the second half wasn’t any better.
I hope that you’re able to enjoy your Saturday and watch some college football for the fun that it is.
When play resumed, Chafin took a handoff and ran into defenders Julius Lewis and Ty Summers, the last of Summers’ school-record 23 tackles.
Houston (11-1, 7-1 American) won the West Division title and will host either Temple or South Florida in the championship game December 5.
