The Frogs got off to a fast start on their first offensive possession. A nine-play, 75-yard drive was capped by an incredible run by Savion Williams for 35 yards to give TCU a 7-0 lead. Williams made it three times on that possession. At the beginning of the week, Sonny Dykes said that Williams would not be involved in the running game in the future, but that has not been the case so far. He had six carries for 47 yards and three catches for 86 yards.

On Texas Tech’s first drive, they got a first down but had to punt and pin TCU at the eight-yard line. A bad punt by the Frogs set the Red Raiders up nicely as they began the drive at the TCU 41. They moved it to the 24-yard line and settled for a field goal to make it 7-3.

TCU’s response didn’t take long. On the first game of the trip, Josh Hoover He dropped a beautiful pass into the arms of Williams and went the distance for a 75-yard score that gave the Frogs a 14-3 lead. After another punt forced by the Frogs’ defense, Hoover coughed up the football onto a strip sack and the Red Raiders recovered. It was a huge swing in favor of Texas Tech.

TCU’s defense held firm and what looked like a Tech field goal attempt ended up being a fake. The kicker, Reese Burkhardt, it ran in to reduce the deficit to four. It took three plays for the Red Raiders to take the lead. A 44-yard completion Caleb Douglas set up a four-yard score Tahj Brooks to give Texas Tech a 17-14 lead.

The Horned Frogs began marching down the field and faced a fourth-and-1. A direct snap to Savion Williams was well read by the Red Raiders, and TCU turned it over on downs. Turnover issues were also a problem in this first half. An interception by Hoover immediately put Tech within field goal range. Luckily for the Frogs, Burkhardt missed the 50-yard field goal.

TCU’s offense continued to struggle and the defense had to find ways to get stops. With the Red Raiders threatening to score more points, it was the defensive line’s turn Behren Morton force a punt. Texas Tech gets the kickoff to start the second half.
