FWST: Hill’s hustle play lights fuse for Frogs’ fourth-quarter rally
By Jimmy Burch jburch@star-telegram.com
LAWRENCE, Kan. – TCU’s hopes for a fourth-quarter rally seemed dashed Saturday when Kansas defensive end Josh Ehambe separated Horned Frogs quarterback Kenny Hill from the football on a third-and-12 play.
But a penalty flag flew. Ehambe, who grabbed Hill’s facemask while making the tackle near the TCU 30-yard line, hung his head in disappointment. He stopped running. Other defenders followed suit.
Hill, meanwhile, picked himself up from the turf and grabbed the loose football at the 26-yard line. He began running and game officials, who never blew a whistle to stop the play, watched Hill sprint 34 yards down the right sideline before being bumped out-of-bounds at the Kansas 40-yard line.
