Last Saturday night, the TCU Horned Frogs trailed the Oklahoma Sooners at halftime by 16 points, a deficit that grew to 17 points with nine minutes left in the fourth quarter. The accumulation of injuries to key starters on both sides of the line of scrimmage over the course of the season for TCU appeared to be too much to overcome. Oklahoma was also playing shorthanded, having lost their starting quarterback to injury in the first half, but the Sooners were comfortably in charge in another November statement game.
And then, TCU mounted a furious comeback. The Horned Frogs connected on an 86-yard touchdown pass to pull within 10 points.
