TCU ends Baylor's Playoff hopes in double OT 28-21 | USA Today

The Frogs ensured Baylor would not be three-time Big 12 Champs with a 28-21 win in double overtime.

Even though both teams have had star-crossed seasons, Baylor would have been very much alive for a Big 12 title had it won Friday, needing only Oklahoma State to beat Oklahoma on Saturday to be named outright champions.

The catch was also Stewart's first career touchdown.

TCU quarterback Trevone Boykin’s first completion of the game was a 25-yard touchdown strike to freshman Jarrison Stewart, and it was a notable completion in a season full of notable moments for the fifth-year senior.

It was Boykin’s 813th completion, moving him past Andy Dalton and into first place in school history.

Boykin gutted this game out on a bad ankle.

Trevone Boykin returned for TCU, though he was far from his best. Boykin missed TCU's game against Oklahoma last weekend with an ankle injury, but was able to start, albeit with his ankle heavily taped. He was clearly not his normal, explosive self, but it's hard to think either Bram Kohlhausen or Foster Sawyer would've been much better.

True freshman Julius Lewis and redshirt freshman Ty Summers made the biggest stop of the night.

She bogged down the Bears long enough before TCU cornerback Julius Lewis delivered the knockout blow by stopping the Bears' Devin Chafin for no gain on a fourth-and-1 play at the Horned Frogs' 16-yard line. TCU's fans, who had been drenched, spilled out of the stands at Amon G. Carter Stadium and celebrated the victory as Baylor trudged off the field -- defeated by the Horned Frogs and Mother Nature.

Deuce did it one last time at the Carter.
