No. 3 TCU, rocked by injuries throughout the first three weeks of the season, found some good luck in the back of the end zone Saturday when Aaron Green caught a tipped pass with 23 seconds to go to give the Horned Frogs a wild 55-52 victory over Texas Tech.
The Red Raiders had to believe they had the game won when receiver Josh Doctson couldn't reach high enough for quarterback Trevone Boykin's pass and tipped it up and toward the back of the end zone. Green, in the right spot at the right time, lunged for it, corralled it and managed to get a foot down for the improbable touchdown and the lead.
