Another week, another great escape for the Fighting Frogs of Texas Christian. The Horned Frogs have now won twelve UCFC games in a row, and several of those games have been hum-dingers (home teams listed first):
11/01/14: W. Virginia 30 - 31 Texas Christian
11/15/14: Kansas 30 - 34 Texas Christian
09/26/15: Texas Tech 52 - 55 Texas Christian
10/10/15: Kansas St. 45 - 52 Texas Christian
But close doesn't count in the UCFC -- it's win or go home. So the Horned Frogs get to keep the trophy. Their all-time record in UCFC play is now 43-19-6. That's pretty good.
As for Kansas State, the Wildcats have suffered a heartbreaking defeat. I think they probably should have gone for the touchdown late in the game, instead of kicking a field goal to tie the game at 45. At that point in the proceedings, I don't think the Patriots could have stopped the red-hot Texas Christian offense. But the Wildcats certainly gave it the old college try. K-State has now lost its last four UCFC games, however, and the Wildcats' record in UCFC play falls to 3-10. They will have to hope that the Big Gold Trophy stays in the Big XII.
