STANFORD, Calif. — "We talked a lot about about being mentally tough," coach Sonny Dykes said. "I thought we were. We got down and guys never blinked. When we had to get stops defensively, we got them. When we had to score touchdowns at the end on offense, we scored touchdowns."After Stanford took the lead midway through the fourth quarter following a missed field goal by the Horned Frogs , Hoover engineered an efficient 74-yard drive to give TCU the win.
It just wasn’t enough plays to come out with the win."Stanford had taken the lead on Justin Lamson’s 1-yard run with 6:57 to play but faltered late. The Cardinal allowed the TD drive and then Ashton Daniels threw an incomplete pass on fourth-and-16 from their own 19 with 2:14 to play.Daniels threw for 163 yards and one TD to go with 89 yards on the ground. His backup, Lamson, who relieved Daniels in some short-yardage situations, had a touchdown pass to go with his TD run.
