FORT WORTH - TCU scored a pair touchdowns in the game’s opening six minutes and posted its first shutout of the season in a 69-0 victory over New Mexico. TCU put together its strongest start of the season that led to a school-record 69 points. The Horned Frogs jumped out to a 20-0 first-quarter lead sparked by a pair of Lobo fumbles. TCU was 6-for-6 on MATT BROWN red-zone chances in the first half before finishing the game with 22 first downs and a season-high 515 yards of total offense. New Mexico was unable to decipher the Frog defense, mustering only 85 total yards of offense and five first downs while losing three fumbles. TCU once again employed a balanced offensive attack, rushing for 264 yards and passing for 251. The Frogs set school records with 10 touchdowns and nine different players reaching the end zone. Deryck Gildon’s third-quarter blocked punt recovered by Antonio Graves for a TD was TCU’s first blocked punt since 2009. SCORE BY QUARTERS NEW MEXICO TCU

ARLINGTON, Texas - Casey Pachall threw for two touchdowns and TCU capitalized on two special teams plays to build a big first-half lead over BYU during a 38-28 win at Cowboys Stadium. Pachall completed 13-of-23 passes for 147 yards with the two touchdowns and no interceptions, and the TCU defense forced three turnovers, two inside BYU territory. JONATHAN ANDERSON BYU had won five in a row and outgained TCU 218-191 in the first half, but TCU’s defense and special teams helped the Horned Frogs tame the Cougars and shorten the field for four quick drives in the first half. After Pachall hit a wide-open Skye Dawson for a 48-yard TD pass on the second play of the game, a low, rolling snap to BYU punter Riley Stephenson resulted in an illegal kick, and TCU started its second possession with a first-and-goal at BYU’s 4-yard line. Matt Brown came in on the second play of that drive and scrambled up the middle for a 6-yard touchdown and a 14-0 lead just five minutes into the game. SCORE BY QUARTERS BYU TCU
