Aaron Green caught a tipped pass in the back of the end zone with 23 seconds left, and No. 3 Texas Christian outlasted host Texas Tech, 55-52, on Saturday in the Big 12 opener for both teams.
On a fourth-and-goal from the 4, a pass from T.C.U.’s Trevone Boykin intended for Josh Doctson was high, but Doctson got a hand on it. Green, a T.C.U. running back, then grabbed the ball as he fell out of the end zone. A video review confirmed he had control of the ball and got a foot in bounds.
Boykin threw for four touchdowns and a career-high 509 yards for T.
