TCU Horned Frogs
On the flip side TCU were remembered last week by their amazing defensive showing as they got the second win of the season.
The Frogs shut down the Razorbacks in the last three quarters as they only let a quick score in the first quarter and that was it.
TCU’s offense was also impressive as they totaled 361 yards of offense with 24 first downs. The defense got a good pat on the back as they held the Razorbacks to under 270 total yards of offense and only 13 first downs. Most of the yardage came early on in the game.
One of the reasons TCU ran away with this game was due to time possession. The Horned Frogs are a slow and steady offense that gets the job done. TCU held the ball for 33:52 while the Razorbacks had 26:08 time of possession.
