TCU is 10-0 for the first time in a dozen years after a 17-10 win over Texas on Saturday night.
The Horned Frogs have relied on big plays all season and got two massive ones from their offensive stars for their two TDs. RB Kendre Miller broke the game open in the third quarter with a dynamic 75-yard TD run and WR Quentin Johnston took advantage of confusion in the Texas secondary to catch a 31-yard TD pass from Max Duggan to effectively seal the game.
The game was not the prettiest display of offensive football otherwise. And that’s probably being generous to the Texas offense. The Longhorns couldn’t do anything on the ground or through the air. Quinn Ewers started the game 0-for-7 passing with an interception and ended up throwing for just over four yards an attempt. Bijan Robinson was bottled up by the TCU defense and ran 12 times for just 29 yards. Xavier Worthy also had just four catches for 32 yards.
Texas’ lone TD of the game came with less than five minutes to go when Jahdae Barron returned a botched handoff 52 yards for a score. That gave Texas some hope that it could get back into the game with a quick defensive stop, but TCU was able to burn the remaining 4:25 off the clock to seal the win. The win also means TCU is guaranteed a shot at the Big 12 title while Texas’ hopes of a Big 12 title hang by a thread. The Longhorns have to beat both Kansas and Baylor over the final two weeks of the season and hope that Oklahoma State and Kansas State lose a game.
