TCU 45, SDSU 33

TCU re-wrote its record book Saturday in San Diego, emerging victorious despite giving up their longest pass-play in history- a Kevin O'Connell completion to Chaz Schilens for 97 yards and a touchdown.

The Frogs' own Joe Turner turned in 226 yards rushing, and four touchdowns-- tying for the third-highest individual touchdown total in TCU's history. (Jeff Ballard last hit that mark, against New Mexico in '05.)

The Horned Frogs' offense snapped 111 plays, a new high for TCU and the MWC, and tying Texas Tech for the NCAA's all-time mark. The Frogs gained 39 first downs-- also a TCU and MWC high. (Texas Tech got 45 first downs in their 111-play game.)

By the final whistle, the Frogs had possessed the ball for just over 40 minutes.

Bowl speculation puts the Frogs in Houston for the Texas Bowl against Houston, who has already accepted a bid to that bowl, or in Albuquerque for the New Mexico Bowl, or in Fort Worth for the Armed Forces Bowl.

TCU 34, UNLV 10

TCU beat UNLV in the first half Saturday in Fort Worth, scoring 28 points in 30 minutes, but only 6 after that. The third team played most of the fourth quarter.

Junior safety Stephen Hodge tallied 11 tackles; senior end Chase Ortiz had two sacks and took the MWC's defensive player of the week award.

The Frogs go to San Diego next week to try and secure a bowl berth- likely to the New Mexico Bowl, to face a team from the WAC.

BYU 27, TCU 22

The Frogs lost another close contest, this time in Provo, falling to 1-2 against BYU since joining the Mountain West.

TCU must beat surging SDSU on the road and UNLV at home in order to attract a bowl bid.

TCU 37, New Mexico 0

Continuing its guess-who game, TCU tried on complete domination for size, throttling New Mexico on Saturday after 16 days off. Andy Dalton, who threw four interceptions against Utah in his last outing, was flawless, delivering three touchdown passes and no interceptions against the Lobos.

TCU's defense regained its swagger, shutting down the league's second-best back, Rodney Ferguson; after allowing a 22 yard pass in the game's opening offensive play, the Frogs held Donovan Porterie to just more 54 passing yards in the remaining 59 minutes.

TCU travels to BYU Thursday.
