FORT WORTH, Texas — West Virginia quarterback Jarret Doege threw the ball and then took a big hit. When he got up and looked down the field, he saw the official with his hands in the air signaling a touchdown.

“I had no idea what happened,” Doege said. “Just in my head. I’m thinking, `No way, no way. Like, how did that just happen?’ I was kind of in shock.”

So was TCU.

Isaiah Esdale made an over-the-shoulder catch on a perfect pass for a 35-yard touchdown with 2:10 left, just getting his feet inside the pylon on the front corner of the end zone, and West Virginia ended coach Neal Brown’s first season with a 20-17 win on Friday that kept the Horned Frogs from getting bowl eligible.
