The Horned Frogs lost their second straight game on Saturday, 24-27 to the Texas Tech Red Raiders. TCU backup QB Foster Sawyer – who took over after starter Kenny Hill was intercepted – connected wide receiver Desmon White with a 25-yard scoring pass to force a second overtime – even though he had a defender attached to his hip. However, the Frogs’ kicker Brandon Hatfield missed his third field goal of the game at the end of the first possession in the second overtime.
The Bears had their first loss of the season on Saturday, a 34-35 upset against the Texas Longhorns. QB Seth Russell finished 14 of 28 for 226 yards with two TD passes, and ran for 138 yards on 21 carries for another score. Baylor gained their most yards ever against Texas (624). “We knew the quarterback run was going to hurt them,” Russell said. “But it didn’t hurt them enough.” You gotta put the hurtin’ on ‘em.
And now for the weather: cloudy with a chance of online football betting.
