USAFA, Colo. - TCU routed Air Force 35-19 Saturday for its 18th straight win in Mountain West play. The Horned Frogs were efficient against Air Force, winning without two of their top players, as tailback Ed Wesley and linebacker Tanner Brock didn’t make the trip due to injury. Wesley’s absence created more opportunities for Matthew Tucker, who scored on a 1-yard leap and a 3-yard run in the first half as TCU built a 21-0 lead. Tucker finished with 95 yards on 16 carries, and Waymon James rushed 13 times for 55 yards and a TD. Kenny Cain replaced Brock at linebacker and was one of three defenders who made his first career start. He had seven tackles and was joined by newcomers Trent Thomas at safety and Kevin White at cornerback in the starting lineup. Tucker’s 1-yard leap made it 14-0 and his second TD run came after Antoine Hicks made a one-handed, 21-yard catch. Quarterback Casey Pachall finished 20 of 25 for 206 yards and two touchdowns. He was almost perfect in the first half, completing his first 11 passes and 16-of-18 overall for 174 yards and a TD.
FORT WORTH - Greg McCoy returned the opening kickoff of the second half 94 yards for a touchdown, and the TCU defense came up with a big play right after that as the 23rd-ranked Horned Frogs took control in a 38-17 victory over ULM. Three plays after McCoy’s sprint up the right sideline in front of the Louisiana-Monroe bench, the Warhawks gave the ball back when Jyruss Edwards fumbled after taking a crushing blow from Stansly Maponga. D.J. Yendrey recovered at the 28, setting up Matthew Tucker’s second TD run, a 1-yarder for a 35-17 lead less than 5 minutes into the second half. Ross Evans kicked a 28-yard field goal with 27 seconds remaining to boost the score to 38-17. The Frogs led 21-17 before McCoy took the second-half kick at the 6, then took one step toward the middle of the field before cutting back toward the sideline. He ran nearly untouched to the end zone, his path completely clear once the kicker was knocked down near midfield. Josh Boyce hauled in seven receptions for a career-best 134 yards, including a 68-yard TD from Casey Pachall in the game’s opening five minutes. Pachall finished 15-of-23 through the air for 204 yards.
