Baylor Upsets TCU In Opener
September 3rd 2011 04:24
TCU, who had won an FBS-best 25 consecutive regular season games, overcome a 47-23 deficit in the fourth quarter when the new starting quarterback, Casey Pachall, threw three touchdowns before the game's only turnover, which was a fumble by Bears quarterback, Robert Griffin. Baylor, which hadn't beaten a ranked team since 2004, has now won against the 14 ranked, TCU Horned Frogs. Baylor won the game, 50-48. They were trailing, 48-47, with 1:04 left in the game when Aaron Jones kicked a 37 yard field goal to give the Baylor the lead and the win. Baylor had to go 60 yards in 11 plays, including Griffin's 15 yard catch from Kendall Wright on third and 10, which set up Jones for a field goal. The Horned Frogs had a chance to win the game, but Pachall's last pass was intercepted by Mike Hicks and he ran the clock down to two seconds. Pachall threw for four touchdowns and one interception and 251 passing yards, while Griffin threw for five touchdowns and zero interception and 359 passing yards.
