Texas Christian 21 - 20 Arkansas (7:15 left in 4th Quarter)

It took only two plays.  Hill hit Turpin with a long pass down to the Arkansas 7.  And then Kyle Hicks scooted in from the 7 for the touchdown.

Arkansas had their chance.  They were at the 2 yard line with a chance to take a 20 point lead.  They did not score.  And now they are in big, big, trouble.

No one pays much attention to Texas Christian, because they will usually have at least one game per season where they get beat by about 25 points on national television.  And so they never even get the chance to play the Alabama's and Ohio State's of the world.  But if you watch them week in and week out -- and I feel like I've seen almost all their games in the last few seasons -- you really come to appreciate what an extraordinary program they have.  In a time of crisis, they have an extra gear that normal teams just cannot match.  If you want to beat them, you need to beat them badly.
