AUSTIN, Texas — In front of the second-largest crowd for a Texas home game, No. 4 TCU took a 10-3 lead into the final quarter of a battle that had Big 12 and national implications.
It was far from the shootout many expected and was much closer to a grudge match as the game featured more punishing hits than touchdowns.
As it has all year, TCU finished strong as the Horned Frogs pulled away for a 17-10 victory and sent a message to the College Football Playoff committee and the college football world.
