FORT WORTH, Texas— TCU showcased intensity and resilience during its homecoming game, defeating Texas Tech 35-34 in a thrilling comeback.
Trailing 31-14 in the third quarter, TCU rallied to secure the win. The Horned Frogs’ defense stepped up when it mattered, especially after Texas Tech quarterback Behren Morton was injured in the second half, forcing the Red Raiders to rely heavily on their running game.
Savion Williams led TCU’s offense with 72 rushing yards, 81 receiving yards, and two touchdowns, including a career-long 35-yard rushing touchdown—the longest run of the season for the Horned Frogs.
Despite throwing two interceptions, Josh Hoover had a strong performance, finishing 21 of 32 for 344 yards and three touchdowns. He capped off the game with an 84-yard touchdown pass to Eric McAllister.
With this victory, TCU has now defeated Texas Tech in eight of the last 11 matchups. The Horned Frogs will next face off against Baylor in the Bluebonnet Battle on Saturday at 7 p.m. in Waco.
