Texas Tech Beats TCU in OT, 56-53


What a game.  The best game in the Big 12 this year so far in my opinion.  Texas Tech looked like the had in the bag when they were up 10 with 2:30 left in the game.

Not so fast, my friend.  Trevone Boykin found LaDarius Brown for a 60-yard TD pass.  TCU couldn't recover the onside kick, but they forced a Texas Tech 3-and-out.  With under 1:30 to play and no timeouts, Boykin found Skye Dawson in a blown coverage by Tech for 36 yards.  Jaden Oberkrom, who was deadly all day, sent the game into OT.

After it went back-and-forth, the game headed into the third OT.  Tech held TCU to a field goal making it 53-50.  On second and goal, Doege found Alex Torres in the endzone for the game-winning TD.

Credit to both teams.  Credit TCU for making it a game after it looked like they were done for.  Credit for Texas Tech after blowing the lead but still finding a way to win in OT on the road.

I'll have MUCH more analysis from this game later.
