Unlocking the 4-2-5 defense of the TCU Horned Frogs is a difficult task, especially given the scouting ability of head coach Gary Patterson, but the Texas Longhorns were able to do so at a critical moment on Saturday thanks to head coach Tom Herman and offensive coordinator Tim Beck.
Down 16-10 with time running out in the third quarter, the Horns were looking to consolidate momentum after the defense forced a fumble by Horned Frogs quarterback Shawn Robinson that was recovered by junior safety Brandon Jones.
Sophomore quarterback Sam Ehlinger had converted two third downs on the drive, but the offense was behind the chains following a holding penalty on graduate transfer left tackle Calvin Anderson.
