TCU stuns West Virginia late and in OT

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- Corey Fuller caught a 25-yard touchdown pass and Trevone Boykin threw to Josh Boyce for the two-point conversion, lifting TCU to a 39-38 double-overtime win over No. 21 West Virginia last night.

TCU (6-3, 3-3 Big 12) got the victory after West Virginia (5-3, 2-3) went ahead on Geno Smith's 25-yard TD pass to Stedman Bailey.

On TCU's possession, Boykin handed off to B.J. Catalon and he pitched to Brandon Carter, who threw to Fuller in the end zone.

Boyce then caught the two-point conversion, which was upheld after review.

TCU rallied from 10 points down in regulation. Boykin and Boyce teamed up on a 96-yard TD pass with 1:28 left to tie the score at 31-31.

Neither team scored in the first overtime.

In becoming bowl eligible, TCU snapped a two-game losing streak. West Virginia has lost three straight for the first time since the end of the 2004 season and has lost two straight at home for the first time since 2003.

Smith finished with three touchdown passes, including two in the second quarter. But West Virginia was limited to 126 yards after halftime.

Tavon Austin scored two touchdowns for the Mountaineers, giving his team a lift with a 76-yard punt return for a score with 3:19 left for a 31-24 lead.

West Virginia had a chance to win it in regulation, getting a first down at the TCU 38 with less than a minute left. But Smith threw three straight incompletions and Tyler Bitancurt's 55-yard field-goal try was short with 13 seconds left.

Smith took several hard hits and finished 32-for-54 for 260 yards. -- AP
