TCU's offense unstoppable in blowout win over Texas

Erich Schlegel / USA TODAY Sports

Texas gave TCU the lead early on Saturday after critical mistakes on a lost fumble and botched snap - and from there, the Horned Frogs never looked back, cruising to 50-7 win over their Big 12 rivals.

TCU quarterback Trevone Boykin was at the center of it all, finishing 20-for-35 with 332 yards and five touchdown passes. His second touchdown of the day was a historic one, as he passed former Frog Andy Dalton for most career touchdown passes in school history with 72.

Here's what you need to know:

  • TCU wide receiver KaVontae Turpin had six receptions for 138 yards and four touchdowns.
  • Texas' pass offense was non-existent, with both Tyrone Swoopes and Jerrod Heard combining for 123 passing yards.
  • Texas' woes on special teams continued Saturday, as the Longhorns missed two field goals, and conceded a safety on a punt after the high snap went out of their end zone.
  • TCU wideout Josh Doctson continued his outstanding season, catching seven passes for 129 yards and two touchdowns.
  • The all-time series between the teams now sits at 62-23-1 in favor of Texas.
