TCU's Max Duggan, who was sacked four times in the first half and hounded all game, connected with Quentin Johnston for a 31-yard touchdown over broken coverage in the fourth quarter."Nobody expected this kind of game," TCU coach Sonny Dykes said. "We have tremendous confidence in our ability to take over the game late."

Texas hasn't scored an offensive touchdown in the second half of each of the last three games. The Longhorns' only touchdown against TCU came on Jahdae Barron’s scoop-and-score on a 48-yard fumble return late in the fourth quarter.TCU: Duggan stayed composed on a tough night.
