It’s the battle of Bluebonnet in Waco with the TCU Horned Frogs (5-3, 3-2) playing the Baylor Bear (4-4, 2-3) meeting for the 120th time.

First Semester Highlights – TCU at Baylor:

TCU won the toss and elected to receive the kickoff. And the Frogs did nothing with it, making three runs to start the game. Baylor’s first drive was stopped thanks to a sack of Johnny Hodges.

A Baylor punt pinned the Frogs at their own 5-yard line. It took TCU just seven plays to go 95 yards for the touchdown, thanks to two Josh Hoover passes – a 28 yard pass to Savion Williams and a 40-yard pass to DJ Rogers two pieces later. Jordyn Bailey put the Frogs on the board with a one-handed 8-yard catch from Hoover. Score: TCU 7 – Baylor 0, 6:42 1st quarter

With this score, TCU extended a scoring streak dating back to 1991:

Baylor didn’t stay behind long. They took the ensuing kickoff and marched down the field, with Bryson Washington running it from 8 yards out to put Baylor on the board. Score: TCU 7 – Baylor 7, 1:48 1st quarter

The Frogs would stall near midfield on their next possession, forcing a 34-yard punt by Ethan Craw. Baylor would only run six plays on its next possession. The Frogs would take over at their own 19 yard line with 11:46 left in the half. On 3rd and long on Frog’s possession, Williams was wide open and would have had a clear path to the end zone, but couldn’t hold off Hoover’s long bomb. TCU would punt again.

Baylor would go 64 yards in just four plays, capped by a 40-yard run up the middle by Washington. Isaiah Hankins would miss the PAT. Score: TCU 7 – Baylor 13; 8:41 a.m. 2nd quarter

TCU made a few decent plays on the next drive, but had to settle for a Kyle Lemmermann field goal. His first attempt from 41 yards was good, but was negated by a delay of game penalty. He made the next attempt from 46 yards. Score TCU 10 – Baylor 13; 5:18 p.m. 2nd quarter

Baylor made three points on its next possession. TCU would start the next drive at its own 32. Nine plays later, Jeremy PaynHe made his way into the end zone on a 17-yard run. The touchdown was, however, revised. It was determined that he was far from the goal line. Two plays later, Hoover, on the goalkeeper, would send the message. Score – TCU 17 – Baylor 13; 12:50 a.m. 2nd quarter

Baylor would race down the field in the final minute, aided by a pass interference call on the Frogs. Baylor couldn’t get out of bounds on the final catch and time expired.
