*TCU has clinched at least a share of the Mountain West Conference championship. The Horned Frogs can win the outright title with a victory next week at home versus New Mexico. It's TCU's first conference title since 2005, its first season in the MWC. TCU has now had at least a share in 15 conference championships in its history.



*The Horned Frogs are 11-0 for the second time in their history and the first time since their 1938 national championship season.



*TCU has won 11 games for the fifth time in the last seven seasons. It's the first time since 2003 the Horned Frogs have won 11 games in the regular season.



*Next week's game with New Mexico will give TCU an opportunity for just the second 12-win season in its history. The 1935 national championship team was 12-1 after a 3-2 victory over LSU in the Sugar Bowl. No TCU team has ever won 12 games in the regular season.



*The Horned Frogs' seniors picked up their 41st victory, tying them for the winningest class in TCU history with last year's seniors.



*TCU extended its winning streak to 13 games. It's the Horned Frogs' longest run of victories since winning their final 10 games in 2005 and the opening three contests in 2006.



*Wyoming was held to five first downs and 178 yards of offense. The Cowboys' only touchdown was on a 98-yard fumble return. Wyoming had 84 yards rushing on 36 carries with its longest run from scrimmage being eight yards.



*The Horned Frogs did not commit a penalty, marking their first flag-free game since a 45-33 win at San Diego State in the 2007 regular-season finale.



*TCU improved to 61-1 under head coach Gary Patterson when allowing 17 points or less.



*In just 11 games, TCU has tied its single-season school record for points scored with 437. The mark was set last year in 13 contests. The Horned Frogs have scored at least 38 points in a school-record six consecutive games.



*TCU scored in its 214th consecutive game, the third-longest active streak in the nation and tied for 13th all-time.



*The Horned Frogs had a halftime lead (24-10) for the 10th time in 11 games this season.



*TCU had two takeaways and now has eight in the last three games.



*For the first time in its last four contests, TCU did not score on its opening possession of the game. The Horned Frogs had a field goal against UNLV (Oct. 31) and touchdowns versus San Diego State (Nov. 7) and Utah (Nov. 14).
