Forced to start its third-string quarterback and having to play most of the game without starting wide receiver T.J. Vasher, starting right tackle Travis Bruffy as well as starting center Paul Stawarz (who did not make the trip due to injury), the Texas Tech football team somehow found a way to gut out a critical 17-14 win over TCU Thursday night in Ft. Worth.
Quarterback Jett Duffey, who began the season third on the offensive depth chart, was far from perfect struggling in the passing game for most of the night. But the sophomore made the play of the game with his legs on a 38-yard touchdown run that would ultimately put Tech ahead for good.
