TCU hangs on to defeat Kansas 24-23

LAWRENCE, Kan. -- After two years of close calls and dashing dreams against Kansas, the TCU Horned Frogs found themselves in another tight game with the Jayhawks. In the 2014 and 2015 matchups between the two conference foes, the games were decided by 10 points combined. The pattern continued Saturday when TCU (4-2, 2-1 Big 12) outlasted Kansas 24-23. "KU has always played us hard," TCU coach Gary Patterson said. "... I'm going to do a better job of changing my signals. I thought (defensive coordinator) Coach (Clint) Bowen and the defensive group did a great job. It's been three years he's done a good job on us." One of the things different this time was that TCU wasn't ranked. Kenny Hill completed 17 of 32 passes for 206 yards with one touchdown pass and one rushing score to help TCU squeak out its fourth win of the season.
