Kansas St. 42 - 37 Texas Christian (7:55 left in 4th Quarter)

There are about 50,000 people at Bill Snyder Family Football Stadium in Manhattan, Kan., and they were all screaming their hearts out -- trying to urge their Wildcats to stop Trevone Boykin and the Texas Christian Horned Frogs.  But Boykin is not awed by crowds, or defenses, or much of anything, as far as I can tell.  He leads Texas Christian on a masterful drive -- with some more jhelp from Josh Doctson -- and scampers into the end zone from 14 yards out.

The Horned Frogs then went for two, and for reasons I don't understand, they tried that play where you loft the ball into the back corner of the end zone.  I'm not sure that play has ever worked for anyone other than Brett Favre, and it certainly didn't work here.  So the Frogs trail by 5 with almost 8 minutes to go.  They really need some help from their defense.
