The Texas Longhorns and Texas Christian Horned Frogs were in a pressure packed game on Saturday. The Longhorns finally got back on top in the fourth quarter after a long run for Roschon Johnson. His 40-yard run set up the go ahead score when Sam Ehlinger found Malcolm Epps in the endzone. A Keaontay Ingram run on the two-point conversion put them up by three, 29-26.
The Frogs were able to get a short field after the offense couldn’t get anything going on their next drive. Max Duggan ran it right up the middle untouched for a 26-yard touchdown. The Longhorns would drive right down the field on a catch and run from Keaontay Ingram. He tried to punch it in from the one but fumbles the ball to TCU.
The Longhorns wouldn’t get the ball back. In the wildest finish in the fourth quarter, it ends on what else a penalty. The Horned Frogs took a safety so that they wouldn’t give the ball back to Texas. The game ends with a 33-31 final. Gary Patterson beats Tom Herman for the third time in four tries. Since TCU joined the Big 12, they have beaten the Longhorns in seven of nine opportunities.
