Projected Pt. Margin: TCU +1.4 | Actual Pt. Margin: Texas Tech +10

"Projected Pt. Margin: TCU +1.4." Ouch. I've got my own ideas for why TCU might have figured out how to lose this game, but I don't want to go too far down that road because it would detract from the Davis Webb story. The freshman quarterback came in for the injured Baker Mayfield and completed three of four passes for 77 yards to salt the game away. Granted, his 48-yarder to DeAndre Washington was tipped and lucky, but it all counts. TCU could rue this one for a while.
