Michael Hayes kicked a tiebreaking 49-yard field goal late, and West Virginia ended TCU’s 10-game Big 12 regular-season winning streak.
FORT WORTH, Texas — West Virginia defensive lineman Sean Martin was among the players forced off the field on a tough night for injuries for the Mountaineers.Martin and Mike Lockhart blocked field goals in the final five minutes after Michael Hayes kicked a tiebreaking 49-yarder, and West Virginia endedThe Mountaineers secured their first 2-0 start in the Big 12 since 2018 by rallying from an emotional scene of teammate Aubrey Burks getting taken off on a cart after having his neck immobilized.
“You saw the true mental toughness,” West Virginia coach Neal Brown said. “There’s nothing harder than seeing somebody really get hurt in this game, and being able to bounce back from that.” The Horned Frogs lost the Big 12 championship game to Kansas State last season before making the College Football Playoff, beating Michigan in the semifinals and getting blown out by Georgia in the title game.
Brown didn't think Greene would play this week because of an ankle injury, but he said backup Nico Marchiol injured an ankle in practice, forcing the Mountaineers to turn back to their starter. Brown said Greene showed enough late in the week that the coach thought the junior could play. TCU's Chandler Morris threw for 212 yards and two touchdowns, including a 59-yarder to JP Richardson to open the scoring, and ran for another TD in the first half but was just 9-of-19 passing for 86 yards after the break.
