TCU-Texas Tech game breakdown: Highlights from Frogs’ 55-52 win
First-quarter highlight
Josh Doctson catches his first touchdown of the game, a 9-yard play in the back of the end zone for a 7-0 lead. He is a potent red-zone target.
Second-quarter highlight
Doctson again. His 52-yard touchdown catch included a stop-and-start to shake the defender, and he was open down the sideline.
Third-quarter highlight
Aaron Green cuts back twice to find his way into the end zone with a 7-yard touchdown run. It showcased his effectiveness at eluding defenders.
Fourth-quarter highlight
Really? What else. Green’s catch off the tipped pass from Doctson’s hand. It will go down in TCU annals.
