Fort Worth – Texas Christian University is on a roll with 10 wins this year and no losses and hopes to shake up the BCS rankings. Currently the Horned Frogs are ranked 4th in the nation behind Florida (1), Alabama (2), and Texas (3). There is a slim chance that TCU will get a bid to the National Championship, but if Texas can manage to lose a game and the Frogs win out, they might have a chance.
TCU faced 15th ranked Utah last night in front of a record crowd of 50,307. The game sold out early last week and TCU started selling standing room only tickets. It was a perfect night for football and the Frogs dominated Utah from the beginning and never looked back.
Utah tried everything, including the Wildcat and playing dirty, but had no luck catching the Frogs. By the end of the first half, TCU was up 38-14. It could have easily been a 45-14 game at the half if TCU would have not missed an opportunity on an early Utah turnover. TCU was unable to score on the drive and missed a short field goal to turn the ball back over.
Utah was penalized a number of times for their dirty play and un-sportsman like conduct. The team was glowing with frustration and there was nothing they could do to stop the Horned Frogs toped ranked defense.
TCU dominated the second half, only allowing 14 points and putting 17 more points on the board to make the final 55-28. TCU needs to take care of Wyoming and New Mexico and let the computers and voters do the rest. They do control their own destiny to some point and if everything goes their way, the chances get better for that National Championship bid.
