TCU handled business like true professionals once again Saturday night as they took down Air Force 38-7 on a cool Ft. Worth evening. Rain threatened this game all day, but once it came time to step on the field, there wasn’t a rain cloud to be seen. TCU is now 8-0 for the second straight year and third time in the last eight seasons. Let’s break it down…
- I will start with the man who will anchor the TCU backfield for many more seasons, Ed Wesley. Wesley rushed for a career high 209 yard on 28 carries and 2 touchdowns. This was Wesley’s fourth 100 yard rushing games of the season and the guy continues to impress. I know I came into this season expecting Matthew Tucker to be the big playmaker at running back, but Ed Wesley’s star is the one shining bright right now.
- Andy Dalton was 11-of-20 for 185 yards, a touchdown and an interception. Dalton also added a career high 93 yards on the ground and a rushing TD. It was the typical game for Andy. He had a couple of ill-advised throws, but other than that, he did what was needed.
- The Horned Frog defense was stout once again. A lot of people were worried about the defense coming into the season, but they have picked up where they left off last season. Air Force’s touchdown with 6:36 left in the first quarter was the first touchdown TCU surrendered in four October games and a span of 199:48.
- For those of you keeping up with TCU’s uniform situation, they debuted a new look once again Saturday night. The Frogs went with the black Nike Pro Combat jersey from this season with their black pants and the Pro Combat helmet from last season. It looked good, but it’s not my favorite. This is the 6th different uniform combination we have seen from the Frogs this season and I love it!!
- Check out this amazing stat, in four Mountain West Conference games this season, TCU has outscored its opponents 141-10.
Next up for the Frogs is a late night game on the road against UNLV. TCU should win this one easily also, but they have to be careful not to get caught up looking ahead to Utah. I am sure Coach Patterson will keep the team focused.
Go Frogs!!
