FORT WORTH, Texas - Andy Dalton threw four touchdown passes, including two barely a minute apart late in the first half, and No. 4 TCU narrowly missed a third consecutive shutout in a 31-3 victory against BYU. Leading 3-0 in the waning minutes of the first half, the Frogs took control of the game. Stansly Maponga sacked BYU quarterback Jake Heaps, forcing the Cougars to punt from their 4. Given good field position, Dalton found Josh Boyce on a 35-yard score two plays later. Boyce finished with eight receptions for 127 yards, the most for TCU since Jimmy Young totaled a school-record 226 in 2008 vs. Wyoming. The Frogs got the ball right back on an interception, and Dalton hit a wide-open Young for a 14-yard score that made it 17-0 with 26 seconds left in the half. The Cougars had just 14 total yards in the first half but ended TCU’s shutout streak at 10 quarters, crossing midfield for the first time on a 70-yard drive to a short field goal late in the third. BYU finished with 147 total yards, the third straight time and fourth overall that TCU’s nation-leading defense held an opponent to less than 200 yards.
FORT WORTH, Texas - Ed Wesley rushed for a careerhigh 209 yards and two touchdowns, and the TCU defense stiffened after giving up its first October touchdown, leading the No. 4 Frogs to a 38-7 victory over Air Force. Wesley had more yards by himself than the nation’s No. 1 rushing offense as the Frogs piled up 377 yards on the ground, 30 more than the Falcons averaged coming in. Air Force answered a TCU touchdown on the opening possession by driving 89 yards against a TCU defense that had allowed just three points in the previous three games. The Falcons didn’t do much more, though, while the Frogs just kept rolling. Both of Wesley’s scores came in the second half, and TCU finished with 562 total yards. For the second week in a row, TCU was in a three-point game before taking control just before halftime. This time, the lead was 10-7 after the Frogs went 89 yards in 3:01, capped by Andy Dalton’s 8-yard scoring pass to Jeremy Kerley with 16 seconds left in the half. Dalton finished 11-of-20 for 185 yards while adding a career-best 93 yards rushing.
LAS VEGAS, Nev. - Andy Dalton threw for 252 yards and two touchdowns, Jeremy Kerley scored running and receiving, and No. 4 TCU dominated defensively again to stay undefeated with a 48-6 road victory against UNLV. Ed Wesley ran 64 yards on 13 carries with a touchdown and Dalton finished 16 of 23 with no interceptions. TCU built a 28-6 halftime lead. Kerley started the scoring with a 5-yard run around the left side with 9:31 left in the first quarter, followed by Wesley’s 1-yard run up the middle on the first play of the second quarter to make it 14-0. Colin Jones intercepted Omar Clayton’s pass and ran it back for 30-yard touchdown one minute later. Dalton had a 1-yard dive into the end zone with a minute until halftime. Three plays into the second half, Dalton found Josh Boyce across the middle in stride for a 54-yard touchdown pass. It was TCU’s longest play from scrimmage this season.
