Wide receiver Savion Williams rushed for a pair of touchdowns to lift TCU to a 20-13 victory over host Cincinnati on Saturday night.

Williams opened the scoring with a 2-yard scamper to the end zone just 3:42 into the game and later provided the Horned Frogs (8-4, 6-3 Big 12) with a 17-7 lead when he once again scored from 2 yards out with 7:34 to go in the second quarter.

A pair of first-half field goals from Kyle Lemmermann — a 27- and 35-yarder — allowed TCU to take a commanding 20-7 advantage into the break.

It wasn’t until the 5:15 mark of the fourth quarter that the Bearcats (5-7, 3-6) got any closer, doing so at the end of a 12-play, 94-yard drive. Quarterback Brendan Sorsby rushed for an 8-yard TD, but the point after was no good, leaving Cincinnati behind 20-13.

After eventually getting the ball back with one minute left in the game, the Bearcats managed to work their way to the TCU 40, where Sorsby let a deep ball fly that fell incomplete as the clock hit zeros.

Josh Hoover completed 18 of 35 passes for 212 yards and was picked off once as the Horned Frogs ended the regular season on a three-game winning streak. Hauss Hejny had 48 yards on eight carries to headline the rushing attack.

Sorsby was 21-for-34 passing for 160 yards and an interception. He also had 93 yards and the score on the ground on 12 touches.

Cincinnati rushed for 213 yards in all, getting 110 on 23 carries from Corey Kiner, who also found the end zone.

Kiner cut the Bearcats’ deficit to 10-7 with 11:12 remaining in the first half, punctuating a seven-play, 75-yard march with a 1-yard plunge over the goal line.

Despite losing, Cincinnati outgained the Horned Frogs 373-336.
