TCU Football: Baylor Halftime Report

TCU and Baylor are tied 14-14

First Half Highlights:

The No. 4 TCU Horned Frogs (10-0, 7-0) are hoping to keep the undefeated season alive with a matchup in Waco against the Baylor Bears (6-4, 4-3).

Baylor took the opening drive and drove 75-yards in 11 plays in just over five minutes to put the first points on the board. TCU responded with a 3-and-out. On the next possession, Baylor was driving until the Frogs defense finally stopped the Bears. Baylor attempted a 46-yard field goal that fell short. TCU was able to drive down the field and tie the game with a 7-yard run by Max Duggan. 

Baylor started the second quarter with another long drive resulting in another touchdown. Frogs responded with another scoring drive that included a 77-yard pass from Duggan to Taye Barber. On the next possession, Frogs held the Bears on 4th-and-1 late in the 2nd. It was the third 4th down attempt by the Bears, and the first where TCU's defense got the stop. TCU was not able to take advantage of the turnover on downs and punted to Baylor with under two minutes left in the half. 

The Bears controlled the time of possession in the first half and had the ball for over 20 minutes.
