As we sat through the 1992 Texas Tech-TCU game, a sportswriter colleague declared something to the effect of, “This is like a fistfight between two girls.”
This was, oh, late third quarter in a game that featured 11 turnovers and assorted other foul-ups. Somebody sitting at my keyboard that evening called the play of both teams “unbelievably pathetic for three quarters.”
And then it turned into one of the craziest Texas Tech games I — and many of you — ever witnessed. In the game’s last 2 minutes, 34 seconds, each team scored two touchdowns and the lead changed hands four times.
