TCU Wins Big 12 Opener

{fshare id=3001}

The TCU Horned Frogs made the most of their first conference game since joinging the Big 12, beating Kansas 20-6 on the road.

The Horned Frogs moved the ball easily, racking up 487 yards in the game.  Turnovers prevented TCU from blowing out the Jayhawks.   TCU quarterback Casey Pachall fumbled on the first two offensive possions and again in the 4th quarter.  Running back Matthew Tucker also fumbled as the Frogs were in the red zone.

The TCU defense held Kansas scoreless in the 2nd half, and has not allowed a touchdown so far this season.

Pachall completed 24 of 30 passes for 335 yards and 2 touchdowns.  Brandon Carter was on the receiving end of both touchdown passes as he caught 8 for 141 yards.

Waymon James and Brandon Tucker combined for 164 rushing yards, which is more than the team total of 152 (including a team loss of 50 yards.)

The Horned Frogs extended their nation’s best winning streak to 10 games. TCU posted its 25th consecutive conference victory, also tops in the country.

TCU hosts Virginia next week at Fort Worth.
