TCU Football: West Virginia Halftime Report

First Half Highlights:

The No. 7 TCU Horned Frogs are playing on the road facing West Virginia this afternoon. Morgantown has proven to be a tough place for the Frogs. Since both teams joined the Big 12 in 2012, TCU is 2-3 in Morgantown, and the two wins were in 2012 and 2014, both by just one point.

This game looks to be another close one. TCU is up 28-21 at the half. The two teams have combined for 637 total first half yards.

A sack of Max Duggan on TCU's first possession that took the Frogs out of field goal range and then a critical facemask penalty by Bud Clark on the Mountaineers' first possession were two big momentum shifts that put West Virginia on the board first.

On TCU's next possession, Max Duggan finds Taye Barber for a 71-yard touchdown to tie the game. West Virginia followed a 75-yard drive that ended with a 1-yard run by CJ Donaldson on the first play of the second quarter. Duggan then found Quentin Johnston for a 55-yard touchdown, only after QJ had been on the sideline with an injured ankle.

After a fumble recovery by TCU, Kendre Miller rushed untouched for 51 yards to give the Frogs the first lead of the game, 21-14.

On 4th and 2 from the 5-yard line with 1:37 left in the half, WVU goes for it instead of the easy chip field goal. JT Daniels tosses it to Justin Johnson into the endzone to tie the game 21-21. The Frogs were determined not to go into the locker room tied. Duggan found Derius Davis for a 28-yard pass to set up a 30-yard touchdown run by Emani Bailey with 0:24 remaining.
