TCU curb stomped Baylor Saturday afternoon 45-10 in front of the second-largest crowd in TCU football history. The Bears were never in the game as the Frogs scored on their first five possessions and never looked back. The Horned Frogs improved to 15-3 in its last 18 games against BCS team and are 6-2 in their last eight games against Big 12 opponents.

- Andy Dalton was spectacular. He sliced the Baylor defense with surgeon like precision. Dalton completed 21-of-23 passes for 267 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions. He set a TCU single-game record for completion percentage (91.3). He opened the game with 11 straight completions. Nasty!

- Jeremy Kerley was no slouch either. Kerley was a key facet of the game on offense and special teams. He finished with 6 catches for 69 yards and 2 touchdowns. He also added 49 yards rushing, and a couple of very nice punt returns. Jeremy Kerley finished the day with over 200 all-purpose yards.

- Staying on the offensive side of the ball, TCU has found their next good running back. Ed Wesley has been a beast for the Frogs all season long. Wesley had a career-high 165 yards rushing and 2 TD’s. Wesley’s 165 rushing yards marked the most for a Horned Frog since Joseph Turner totaled 226 yards in a 2007 victory at San Diego State.

- Now, onto the Track Star…Robert Griffin is the most overrated and over hyped QB in college football. The guy might be a tremendous athlete, but he isn’t a big time quarterback. The way people talk about Griffin, I was expecting to see the second coming of Mike Vick. That isn’t what I saw though. I saw an average QB at best who couldn’t run his offense and has no accuracy. All speed, nothing else.

- It seemed to me that Baylor came out with the plan to stop the run, but Dalton dink and dunked them down the field with quick screens, bubbles, and short outs. They had no answer for the TCU passing game. Hell, Baylor had no answer for anything TCU was doing. The Frogs racked up 558 yards of total offense.

- I thought the black jerseys with the black pants looked really good. Coach Patterson said it was the player’s decision to go black-on-black for this game.

- It was nice to see no turnovers or fake punts.

- TCU improved to 64-2 under head coach Gary Patterson when allowing 17 points or less.

On to the next one…bring on the Ponies. Go Frogs!
