LUBBOCK, Texas (AP)- Mahomes completed 25 of 45 passes for 392 yards in a loss to TCU on Saturday in the Big 12 opener for both teams.
On fourth-and-goal from the 4, Trevone Boykin's pass was high to Josh Doctson, but he got a hand on it and Green grabbed the ball as he fell out of the end zone. A video review confirmed Green had control of the ball and got a foot in bounds.
Mahomes, who was injured in the first quarter, completed 25 of 45 passes for 392 yards. He threw two touchdown passes and ran for another score for the Red Raiders (3-1, 0-1).
TCU went ahead 48-45 on Kyle Hicks' 21-yard run with 8:22 left. Texas Tech answered after two clutch third-down plays when Mahomes found Justin Stockton on a 50-yard scoring pass with 5:55 to go.
The teams traded empty possession before the Horned Frogs started at their own 47 and drove downfield for the winning touchdown.
The Red Raiders didn't give up after TCU scored. On the final play of the game - after time expired and a defensive penalty on TCU - Mahomes found DeAndre Washington for a 24-yard gain. He pitched it to a lineman, who pitched it to a receiver who got the ball to Jakeem Grant. He was pushed out of bounds at the TCU 10 to end the game.
Washington ran for four touchdowns and a career-high 188 yards.
Mahomes hurt his left knee early in the first quarter when he dove toward the end zone as he finished a 15-yard run. He got up limping but stayed in for the next play to hand the ball to Washington who scored on a 1-yard run.
Texas Tech will continue Big 12 play when they host Baylor next week.
