Red Raiders get conference road win at TCU Nebraska coach wants to stop migration to Oregon State

- FROM WIRE REPORTS

Jett Duffey scored on a 38-yard quarterbac­k draw with seven minutes left, holding on to the ball just long enough for the goahead score in Texas Tech's 17-14 victory over TCU on Thursday night.

Duffey took off on the first play after a punt, and the touchdown stood after a replay review. The ball rolled forward through the end zone after defender Trevon

Moehrig-Woodard knocked it loose right at the goal line.

It was the third time the Red Raiders (4-2, 2-1 Big 12) won in their last four trips to Fort Worth. They needed multiple overtimes in each of the previous two wins.

TCU (3-3, 1-2) had its final drive ended when Shawn Robinson desperatel­y scrambled from one side of the field to the other on fourth-and-1 before the ball appeared to slip out of his hands and was intercepte­d by Adrian Frye in the final minute.

First-year Nebraska coach Scott Frost said Thursday the transfers of three of his former players to Oregon State raised his suspicions, though he stopped short of leveling a tampering charge against the Beavers.

Linebacker Avery Roberts, quarterbac­k Tristan Gebbia and receiver Tyjon Lindsey all transferre­d from Nebraska to Oregon State in the last two months. It was part of the reason Frost listed Oregon State as one of the schools Greg Bell couldn't transfer to as a condition of granting the running back's scholarshi­p release last week.

The Cornhusker­s' previous staff has deep ties to Oregon State, and former Huskers assistant Trent Bray returned there to coach linebacker­s this season. Former director of football operations Dan Van De Riet has gone back to Oregon State in the same role. Mike Riley, the coach Frost replaced, was a longtime Oregon State head coach who now is a consultant for the Beavers.

Pac-12 admits mistake on targeting replay

The Pac-12 will make immediate changes to how video replay reviews are handled after Commission­er Larry Scott admitted procedural mistakes were made when a targeting foul was not called during last month's Washington StateSouth­ern California game.

Scott responded Thursday to a report on the review by Yahoo Sports that cited an internal conference document. The document showed a replay official at the stadium believed he and officials working at the league's review command center had been overruled by a Pac-12 executive on a targeting call against Washington State linebacker Logan Tago on Sept. 21 at USC.

Scott acknowledg­ed the third party was Woodie Dixon, the Pac-12's general counsel and senior vice president of business affairs who also oversees football.
