FWST: Hail Mary gives TCU a true jump-start to 56-36 victory over SMU

On the final play of the first half, Kenny Hill launched a 38-yard Hail Mary into the end zone with enough precision to reach a leaping Jalen Reagor, giving TCU the lead for good and paving the way to a 56-36 victory Saturday over SMU.

Early in the second quarter, the Mustangs (2-1) had captured a 19-7 lead in a scoring run that began with a trick play resulting in a 38-yard touchdown catch by wide receiver Trey Quinn.

Horned Frogs running back Darius Anderson said that the halftime-closing catch was the inspiration the team needed to execute in the second half.

The funniest part about the Hail Mary was us sending Dez and Turpin down there. Conventional wisdom says two guys who average 5’6" won’t add a ton of value on that play and you might actually want a few of our tall guys down there. Maybe that’s what baffled SMU into not jumping.

Glad it was a true jump-start and not one of those false jump-starts.

I'm surprised some yellow laundry didn't show up on that play too

So on Fridays during walkthru's we would practice the Hail Mary against a defense however the defense wasn't allowed to make a play on the ball...but just stand in the end zone while our guys jumped. (To avoid injury cuz we weren't in pads.)

Yesterday's play is EXACTLY what it looked like...
