FORT WORTH — Clayton Hatfield didn’t hit it clean.

It was a little low.

“It probably wasn’t my best hit, but when I looked up and saw the ball going, I kind of figured how it was going to end up. My holder, Cam (Batson) saw it was going to happen the whole way and picked me up before I even got to see it go through.”

Hatfield’s kick gave Texas Tech a 27-24 win over TCU in double overtime on Saturday at Amon G. Carter Stadium.

But, it all could have ended up another way.
