TCU is 7-0 for the second-straight year and fourth time in 11 seasons as they dominated BYU 31-3 Saturday afternoon at Amon G. Carter Stadium. TCU has now outscored BYU 101-17 in their last 3 meetings. It looks like BYU needs to go independent just to get away from the beat downs TCU has been administering to them. Let’s break this one down…

- I always like to start with Andy Dalton. Not much from today that I can complain about. Andy was 24-of-36 for 273 yards and 4 touchdowns. Dalton has now completed 76.3 percent of his passes with 10 touchdowns and no interceptions in four home games this season. I wasn’t sure about some of the play calling today, but that’s not Dalton’s fault.

- Welcome to the big show Josh Boyce. You have been hearing his name more and more as the season has gone on, and today was his break out performance. Boyce had 8 catches for 127 yards and 2 touchdowns. He is going to be a valuable target for the Frogs for years to come.

- I thought the offense overall seemed a little off. Yes they put up points and got the job done, but it didn’t look as good as it has in other games. That could be in part to BYU’s defense.

- The defense was outstanding once again today. TCU held BYU to 147 yards of offense which marked the lowest total by a TCU opponent since San Diego State was held to 87 yards in 2008. The 27-yard field goal by BYU with 1:14 to play in the third quarter were the first points TCU has allowed in a span of 175:10. It covered four games dating back to the September 24th game at SMU.

- Tank Carder came up with a huge interception in the 2nd quarter that was a big momentum shifter and got the Frogs going in the right direction.

- Tekerrein Cuba has been a huge addition to the defense this season. I felt like I was constantly hearing his name over the loud speaker today. Cuba finished with 9 tackles and has 21 stops in the last two games.

- The Frogs debuted a new uniform combination we had not seen before. They wore the regular purple home jerseys with this year’s Pro Combat helmet and pants. I thought it looked really good.

- At least we don’t have to see any more of BYU. Their fans and the things the Utah media write about them drives me crazy. The Cougars will now fade into irrelevance and regret the day they decided to go independent.

The next game is a matchup against a very good Air Force team next Saturday night at The Carter. TCU needs all the fans to be there and be loud because Air Force is no pushover.

Go Frogs!!
