When the final play TCU ran from scrimmage resulted in a touchdown Saturday, there was no reason for much surprise.
Fourth-and-goal from the 4 ... no biggee. A deflection off the hands of well-covered receiver Josh Doctson ... no biggee. A carom grabbed by running back Aaron Green as he deftly tip his toes to make sure he did not gloss over the back of the end zone ... no biggee.
This is the Big 12. And this is how football is played. Teams score. By any means possible.
The laterals Texas Tech used for a 40-yard gain on the final play against TCU, after time had expired, actually one-upped the improbable touchdown grab by Green.
