No. 25 Houston misses late field goal in 17-14 loss to TCU
HOUSTON (AP) --- Josh Hoover threw for 293 yards and two touchdowns and TCU
took advantage of No. 25 Houston's missed field goal in the final minute to
beat the Cougars 17-14 on Saturday.
After stopping TCU (7-4, 4-4 Big 12) on the 5 with just under two minutes
remaining, Houston (8-3, 5-3) drove to the TCU 20 and had a chance to tie it,
but Ethan Sanchez's 38-yard attempt with 46 seconds remaining went wide left.
Nate McCashland hit a 29-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter to give
TCU a three-point lead.
Hoover completed 24 of 33 passes, throwing scoring passes of 33 yards to Eric
McAlister and 17 yards to Jordan Dwyer in the first quarter as TCU built a 14-0
lead.
Jeremy Payne ran for 103 yards. Joseph Manjack IV caught nine passes for 95
yards, and McAlister had four receptions for 79 yards.
Conner Weigman was 15 of 29 for 161 yards and two touchdowns and rushed for 114
yards for Houston. Dean Connors ran for 75 yards and caught five passes for 47
yards and a touchdown, and Amare Thomas had five receptions for 72 yards and a
score.
The Takeaway TCU: The Horned Frogs overcame four turnovers and seven penalties for 70 yards. TCU held Houston to 4 of 17 on third downs. Houston: The Cougars, who were No. 23 in the CFP rankings this week, will drop out of the rankings following the loss. Houston's slim chances of making the Big 12 Championship game ended with the loss.
