ARLINGTON, Texas - A pair of second-half touchdowns including a key late score helped 12th-ranked LSU hold on for a 37-27 victory over No. 20 TCU Saturday night. LSU’s Odell Beckham’s 75-yard kickoff return set up a 20-yard TD pass from Zach Mettenberger to Jarvis Landry with 6 minutes left. B.J. Catalon returned a kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown and scored on a 26-yard run for TCU. TCU started in Tigers territory after a shanked 28-yard punt after the three-and-out. But the Horned Frogs’ drive was hampered when Trevone Boykin was sacked and fumbled. They recovered the ball, but had to settle for Jaden Oberkrom’s 39-yard field goal to get within 30-27 with 7 1/2 minutes left. Then came Beckham’s big kickoff return. Before that, Alfred Blue’s fumble set TCU up at the 6. Waymon James’ 5-yard TD run made it 30-24 with 13 minutes left. The Tigers gained 448 total yards against a TCU team known for its defense. The Horned Frogs led the Big 12 in total defense last season. LSU was up 13-3 when 270-pound fullback J.C. Copeland plunged in from a yard out early in the second quarter. Catalon returned the ensuing kickoff for a TD, with only one LSU player even getting a hand on the speedy running back. That tied for the second-longest return in TCU history, behind only a 105-yarder against Texas in 1933. S C OR E BY QUA R T E RS LSU TCU
FORT WORTH, Texas - Trevone Boykin led three straight scoring drives as No. 24 TCU pulled away from Southeastern Louisiana 38-17 on Saturday. Boykin’s first play under center was a handoff to Waymon James for the game’s first score, a 1-yard plunge. Boykin then ran 16 yards and Jaden Oberkrom ended the first half with a 46-yard field goal that put the Horned Frogs (1-1) ahead 17-14. Boykin completed a 29-yard pass to Brandon Carter on the first play of the second half, and Carter finished that drive with a 5-yard scoring run. Boykin threw 27 yards to Josh Doctson for a 31-14 lead. Southeastern Louisiana’s Bryan Bennett had 132 yards passing and another 132 rushing for the Lions (1-1). Casey Pachall led a pair of scoring drives and finished 8 of 14 for 100 yards. Boykin was 9 of 13 for 133 yards and two touchdowns and added 35 yards rushing before he was replaced by third-stringer Tyler Matthews late in the game. Bennett, a transfer from Oregon, had a 45-yard run to set up the Lions’ first touchdown and threw a 65-yard scoring pass to Jeff Smiley to pull even at 14 late in the second quarter.
