FORT WORTH - Casey Pachall and Trevone Boykin combined to complete all 17 passes for TCU--the most team attempts in FBS history without an incompletion--and the Horned Frogs gave Gary Patterson his school-record 110th career victory during a 56-0 win over Grambling State. The contest marked the first game for TCU as a Big 12 Conference member as well as the debut of the $164 million rebuilt Amon G. Carter Stadium. Deante’ Gray, one of a TCU-record 13 true freshmen to play for the Frogs, returned a punt 70 yards for a touchdown only two minutes into the game. The play helped Gray set a TCU singlegame record with 160 punt return yards on just five attempts, breaking Lindy Berry’s mark of 146 yards on seven returns set versus Miami in 1947. Wayman James had a 1-yard TD run on the Frogs’ first offensive possession before Elisha Olabode returned an interception 28 yards to make it 21-0 with 7:54 still left in the first quarter. Pachall played only the first half, completing all nine of his passes for 201 yards and three touchdowns, two to Josh Boyce, while the Frogs jumped out to a 42-0 lead. The TCU defense limited GSU to only 70 yards of total offense, the second-lowest figure in Patterson’s tenure as head coach.
LAWRENCE, Kan. - Casey Pachall completed 24-of-30 pass attempts for 335 yards and two touchdowns, helping TCU overcome four fumbles to defeat Kansas in its inaugural Big 12 game, 20-6. Pachall’s passing total marked his third career 300-yard game and his second-best output as a Horned Frog. Brandon Carter hauled in a career-best eight receptions for 141 yards and both of Pachall’s scoring passes, one in the first quarter and another in the third. Carter’s second TD came on a highlight-reel grab that saw him pick a deep ball out of the air over a Jayhawk defender and tightrope the sideline into the end zone for a 25-yard completion. Waymon James led the Frog rushing attack with 99 yards on 12 carries. TCU’s offense totaled 487 yards and was forced to punt only once in the contest. The Frog defense, led by 12 tackles and a pair of sacks by linebacker Joel Hasley, kept the opponent out of the end zone for the second straight week. KU managed just 77 yards on the ground, while TCU limited Jayhawks signal caller Dayne Crist to a 19-of-39 showing through the air. Sam Carter recorded his first career interception in the second quarter, which led to Brandon Carter’s first touchdown.

FORT WORTH - Brandon Carter had a 68-yard touchdown on one of his one-handed catches, Kenny Cain recovered a fumble along with two interceptions and 16th-ranked TCU beat Virginia 27-7 for its FBS-best 11th consecutive victory. Casey Pachall threw for 305 yards and three scores for the Horned Frogs. Josh Boyce had his TCU-record 18th career touchdown catch. Freshman Jaden Oberkrom had field goals of 46 and 47 yards, the second field goal set up by Cain’s 40-yard interception return. The Frogs hadn’t allowed a touchdown this season until Virginia finally scored with 4 1/2 minutes left, when backup quarterback Phillip Sims threw a 5-yard TD to E.J. Scott to make it 20-7. TCU answered with a 17-yard TD pass from Pachall to LaDarius Brown that placed the game out of reach inside the final two minutes. Carter put TCU ahead to stay on its first drive when he made a one-handed grab while leaping with his right hand fully extended near midfield behind safety Brandon Phelps. Carter sprinted untouched to the end zone, capping a 94-yard drive after a punt that Virginia’s Anthony Harris slapped back from the goal-line to prevent a touchback. Carter had five catches for 128 yards, his second consecutive 100-yard receiving game. SCORE BY QUARTERS Virginia TCU
