NCAA Game Summary - Ole Miss vs. TCU

Atlanta, GA (SportsNetwork.com) - Snubbed by the College Football Playoff committee, TCU made an emphatic statement against the nation's stingiest defense on Wednesday.

Trevone Boykin threw two of his three touchdown passes to Josh Doctson and the sixth-ranked Horned Frogs manhandled the No. 9 Ole Miss Rebels 42-3 in the Peach Bowl.

TCU (12-1) felt it was worthy of playing for the national title, but fell from third to sixth in the final playoff rankings despite closing its regular season with a 55-3 rout of Iowa State to earn a share of the Big 12 championship.

Boykin was 22-of-31 for 187 yards with three interceptions. Wide receiver Kolby Listenbee opened the scoring with a touchdown pass to Aaron Green and added a touchdown reception.

"We showed Atlanta, the crowd and everyone that we deserve to be in the playoffs competing for the national championship," Listenbee said.

Bo Wallace struggled mightily against a stout Horned Frogs defense. Wallace threw three first-half interceptions, one of which resulted in a TCU touchdown, and fumbled once while completing 10-of-23 passes for 109 yards.

"It's pretty obvious that I didn't want to go out this way. I didn't want the seniors to go out this way," Wallace said.

The Rebels (9-4), who were held to 129 total yards on offense, had their bowl win streak snapped a six games.

Ole Miss entered the contest with the nation's No. 1 scoring defense, allowing just 13.8 points per game.

Things went downhill quickly for the Rebels as Wallace was picked off by Chris Hackett on the game's third play from scrimmage.

TCU then grabbed an early lead when Boykin threw a backward pass to Listenbee, who fired down the field to Green for a 31-yard touchdown.

After an Ole Miss punt, Green capped a 15-play, 78-yard drive with a 15-yard touchdown run.

The Horned Frogs committed turnovers on consecutive drives later in the first quarter, but the Rebels were unable to get a first down and Gary Wunderlich missed a 52-yard field goal attempt wide left.

TCU extended its lead to 21-0 four minutes into the second quarter on Doctson's 12-yard TD grab.

Later in the second, Wallace was under pressure in the shadow of his own goal line and threw it away to avoid being sacked for a safety. James McFarland made a diving interception in the end zone to make it 28-0.

Following the break, Ranthony Texada returned the opening kickoff of the second half 65 yards to the Ole Miss 34-yard line. Listenbee then went up in tight coverage and came down with the ball on 3rd-and-11 for a touchdown.

Just 28 seconds later, Boykin hit Doctson for a 27-yard score after a Wallace fumble.

Wunderlich made a 27-yard field goal with 7:18 remaining in the fourth quarter to spoil TCU's shutout bid.
