Throwback Thursday: Can TCU make the trip to Kansas without another scare?

It seemed inevitable that TCU football was in for a dose of ultimate humiliation on Oct. 8, 2016.

A 54-yard field goal with no time left on the clock was all that Kansas — fresh off an 0-12 finish in 2015 — needed to complete an unlikely 26-24 victory over the Horned Frogs. Only the Jayhawks decided to save such theatrics for another Texas team about a little more than a month down the road, as the attempt sailed wide of the uprights to give the Horned Frogs a one-point win.

An ugly win, at that.

TCU trailed by nine points to the lowly Jayhawks — seeking their first Big 12 win of the David Beaty era that afternoon — entering the fourth quarter.
