Two years removed from one of the most iconic shots in the world TCU football history, Baylor Bears they created their own history as Isaiah Hankins drilled a 33-yard field goal to win 37-34 as time expired, and the Baylor faithful stormed the field.

Both teams stalled on their kickoffs, but the Frogs drove the length of the field, leading to a touchdown pass to Jordyn Bailey. Bailey jumped in the air and made an incredible one-handed catch to help TCU take a 7-0 lead. Baylor took its next drive 65 yards into the end zone, capped by an eight-yard score Bryson Washington.

TCU’s defense had no answers for Washington as it ran 26 times for 196 yards and four touchdowns. He gave the Bears a 13-7 lead when he rumbled 40 yards into the end zone. TCU would take over as Jeremy Payne he received the offense of his Josh Hoover At the half, the Frogs led 17-13.

In the second half, Baylor had an answer every time TCU punted. All tied at 20, the Horned Frogs were awarded a pair of penalties that brought them within 35 yards. On a quarter past two, Savion Williams threw a touchdown pass to Jack Beck to take a 27-20 lead. Williams becomes the first Horned Frog with a receiving, rushing and passing touchdown in a season since 2017.

The teams went back and forth as the defense couldn’t generate consistent stops either. With less than five minutes to go and seven down, Hoover had to come out again. On 4th and 3 and the game on the line, Hoover found Williams for a 17-yard completion to keep the game alive and on the next play, Bech caught the tying pass.

However, Baylor had 1:55 to play. On 3rd and 9, a pass was broken up by Jevon McIver Jr. to set up what everyone thought was a punt. However, Dave Aranda he risked it all and decided to go for it and the decision paid off in setting up the winning field goal.

On a night where the Horned Frogs didn’t turn the ball over and the offense dazzled, the defense couldn’t generate enough stops to win this one. It certainly felt like a regression after feeling the defense turn the corner. There was also a critical drop by Savion Williams early in the game that would have resulted in a touchdown run. Hoover had his best game of the season completing 25 of 34 passes for 333 yards and two touchdowns. Hoover said it wasn’t all about defense and it was a team loss.

This marks yet another frustrating loss for TCU and a game they most certainly should have won. They are now 1-3 against in-state opponents this season. They dropped to 11th in the Big 12. On a positive note, the offense has definitely made strides and hopefully they can build off of Saturday’s performance.

TCU will return home next Saturday for a matchup with Oklahoma State. Kickoff is set for 6:00 on FS1.
