TCU tops Tech, improves to 9-0
FORT WORTH — Derius Davis returned a punt 82 yards for a touchdown and Kendre Miller ran for the goahead score early in the fourth quarter as No. 7 TCU beat Texas Tech 34-24 on Saturday to reach 9-0 for the first time since 2010.
Davis caught one of Max Duggan’s two fourth-quarter TD passes for TCU.
The previous perfect run for TCU (6-0 in Big 12 this season) came in the Mountain West Conference and was before the College Football Playoff.
