FORT WORTH -- With time ticking away at midfield, Shawn Robinson rolled right against the Texas Tech defense, looking for an opening on fourth down.

Facing a wall of defenders, the TCU quarterback reversed his field trying in vain to find daylight.

With Robinson running out of options and looking to make something happen, the ball squirted free.

Tech's Adrian Frye claimed it for an interception -- yes, another TCU turnover -- and Tech had a 17-14 victory Thursday night, despite scoring more than 30 points less than its nation-leading scoring average.

Pretty simple formula. Stack the box and blitz the heck out of a QB who doesn't handle pressure well and an OC who after four games of the exact same thing has signalled to the world that he can't or won't adjust.

I hope we can beat Kansas.

Love how Texas Tech is getting all this credit for their defense shutting us down. Watch them go back to giving up 40+ points per game after this

I feel for our defense. They played a better game than Tech’s defense did.

Is it common for third quarterbacks to see their team win if they play? Do all teams have three quarterbacks? It is a violent game I can see why it could be important.
