On the next posession, wide receiver Josh Doctson broke a tackle around the Tech 20-yard line to dance into the end for a 51-yard touchdown.
Tech’s Jakeem Grant looked ready to take back the lead with a 59-yard sprint deep into TCU territory. A Ranthony Texada interception was called back due to a holding penalty.
At that point, both the Frogs and the Red Raiders scored on every possession. Sam Carter ended the streak by breaking up a fourth down pass to DeAndre Washington in the endzone.
