TCU blew out New Mexico 66-17 Saturday to finish the season 12-0 and clinch its second straight Mountain West Conference Championship and second straight undefeated regular season. TCU’s seniors earned their 43rd victory in the last four years, making them the winningest class in school history. Now all that awaits the Frogs is a Rose Bowl appearance or a birth in the BCS Championship game. Let’s break this one down.

- Andy Dalton had three first-quarter touchdown passes before leaving the game with a minor elbow injury. Dalton has 26 touchdown passes on the season and is now the Mountain West Conference career leader in both total offense (11,678 yards) and plays from scrimmage (1,698). Dalton’s injury was not serious and he will be fine for the bowl game.

- Congrats to Ed Wesley for going over 1,000 yards on the ground this season. Wesley is the first Horned Frog to top 1,000 yards since Robert Merrill in 2003. That is an amazing feet when you realize he basically achieved that mark in 10 games while splitting time with two other running backs.

- How good is this TCU offense? The Horned Frogs set single-season school records for touchdowns (70) and points scored (520). It’s the third straight year the Horned Frogs have established a new mark in both categories.

- I hate that Dalton had to get injured before Casey Pachall got major playing time, but it was nice to see him receive meaningful minutes. Once he settled down, he had a fairly decent game. As for Yogi Gallegos, he should probably remain on the sidelines.

- The Horned Frogs scored in every quarter against New Mexico and have scored in all but one quarter this season.

- Sixteen of TCU’s last 19 victories have been by at least 27 points. Seventeen of the 19 wins are by 17 points or more.

The Frogs will remain #3 in the BCS rankings tomorrow, and don’t listen to what anyone says, if Auburn or Oregon lose next weekend, TCU will be in the BCS Championship Game. If things remain the same, TCU will be in Pasadena for New Years. Not a bad consolation prize, but I haven’t given up hope yet.

It has been another great season and this team took us all on another exciting thrill ride. Being a Frog fan just keeps getting better and better.
