On TCU’s first play of its ensuing possession, quarterback Foster Sawyer made a decision to take a shot down field, but Sanchez was able to position himself to snatch his second interception of the first half.

TCU HC Gary Patterson said “you have to take ballgames [on the road]” while discussing his decision to attempt a two-point conversion in the fourth quarter of Saturday’s 30-29 loss to Oklahoma. Sawyer hit Listenbee for two long passes on the Horned Frogs’ second drive, the second a 37-yard touchdown pass. The defense also did its part early, forcing the Sooners to punt on their first three possessions.
Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield has shown signs since his concussion that he could be ready for Saturday’s pivotal game against Oklahoma State.
Baker Mayfield is expected to play in Bedlam, Bob Stoops confirmed at his weekly press conference on Monday. To this point it has all checked out well. But at the same time I didn’t think they looked anywhere near as good as they did just last week, and that was against much more of a threat in Baylor than the one they faced Saturday night minus Trevone Boykin and Josh Doctson.
“That’ll all be up to our doctors and trainers”, Stoops said after the game.
“There’s certainly room for optimism, but we do have a protocol we have to go through – a few serial testing and progressions of activity, and we’re in the midst of that now”, he said.

Oklahoma inserted Trevor Knight in Mayfield’s place and the offense sputtered while the defense clung to the lead.
Not to mention the Sooners chances of taking home a ninth Big 12 championship and a potential invite to the College Football Playoff, two grand accomplishments that are right there for the taking and over which the Sooners have a few control.
Mayfield leads active FBS quarterbacks in passing efficiency, with a completion rate of 68.6 percent.
“They pulled him out and made sure he got the proper care and he didn’t return until he was healthy enough to play”, she added. “It’s probably my most memorable moment in my football career”.
The Horned Frogs know all about playing a third-string quarterback.
“He’s doing his best to try and get back”, Patterson said. “It was a guy that kind of turned me around, and then I got hit on the way down. It was a freaky hit”. He had just 127 yards, albeit with two scores, while only completing nine of 20 passes.
So, suffice it to say, as soon as Porter came down with the ball (in itself a small miracle), I knew that we were going to go for two.

At the very least, I would have appreciated a better attempt on the two-point conversion.
