Inches. Maybe less. Maybe an inch. That's all Texas Christian needed Saturday, multiple times. The third-ranked Horned Frogs came up short against Kansas State, and now they pray it doesn't cost them a spot in the College Football Playoff.
ARLINGTON, Texas — Inches. Maybe less. Maybe an inch. That's all Texas Christian needed Saturday, multiple times.
The playoff committee will announce its field Sunday morning, and previously-unbeaten TCU hopes it doesn't get jumped by both Ohio State and Alabama. But while the Frogs were in an alley fight with the raw-boned, nail-tough, top-10 Wildcats, the Buckeyes and Crimson Tide were sitting on sofas in Columbus and Tuscaloosa, humming the Kansas State's fight song.
"We were literally an inch way from winning the game, or having a chance," Dykes said."My hope is they see it the same way I saw it. The resume' is good enough. But our hope not to have to rely on a beauty contest." Kansas State's defense consistently frustrated TCU's Heisman-hopeful quarterback Max Duggan. Wildcats tailback Deuce Vaughn rushed for 130 yards, and his 44-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter gave KSU a 28-17 lead. But TCU scratched its way to a field goal, got a stop, then Duggan showed why he's worthy of Heisman consideration, directing an 80-yard touchdown drive on which he rushed for 95 yards.
