Upon entering the Big 12 in 2012, TCU inherited Texas A&M s league schedule in which the Aggies owed the Cowboys an extra home game. TCU played at Oklahoma State in 2012 and 2013, before hosting the Cowboys for the first time in 2014. 4The game features the all-time winningest coaches at both schools. Gary Patterson has 152 victories at TCU, while Mike Gundy has 107 for OSU. 4Patterson is 22-19 against ranked opponents, including an 8-5 mark over the last four seasons. 4TCU has opened 3-0 for the ninth time in 17 seasons with Patterson. ROAD WORK 4TCU s 40-14 record (.741) in road and neutral-site games since 2009 is the nation s second-best mark. 4At 34-10 (.773), TCU has the nation s third-best road record since 2009. 4TCU is 14-9 on the road in its Big 12 history. 4Six of TCU s last 12 Big 12 road games have been decided by seven points or less. The Horned Frogs are 5-1 in those games. Since beginning Big 12 play in 2012, TCU is 8-4 in conference road games decided by seven points or less. 4Among Power Five teams since 2009, TCU has the fourth-best record (26-9,.743) in road conference games. 4TCU is seventh nationally with seven road wins over Associated Press Top-25 teams since 2009. SERIES NOTES 4 Oklahoma State holds a 15-10-2 edge in the alltime series with TCU. 4 TCU is 3-8 versus OSU in Stillwater, 6-5-2 in Fort Worth, 1-1 in a pair of meetings (1943, 1946) in Oklahoma City and 0-1 in Dallas (1945 Cotton Bowl). 4 In its last visit to Stillwater, a 49-29 loss to Oklahoma State in 2015, TCU held a 663-to-456 edge in total offense, running 110 plays from scrimmage to just 53 for the Cowboys. The second half saw Oklahoma State limited to just two first downs and 122 yards of offense. 4 TCU has dropped its past four games in Stillwater with its last victory at Boone Pickens Stadium being a 24-21 decision in 1991. FAMILIAR FACES 4TCU defensive coordinator and safeties coach Chad Glasgow was a three-year letterman (1991-93) at linebacker for Oklahoma State. He was also a graduate assistant (1994-95) under former head coach Bob Simmons. 4TCU running backs coach Curtis Luper played at Oklahoma State (1984-87) before returning to Stillwater as a Cowboys assistant coach (2005-08). TCU NOTABLES 4Over the last four seasons, TCU has the Big 12 s second-best overall record (32-10) and conference mark (19-8). 4In the two previous seasons it came off a nonwinning record in the 17-year tenure of head coach Gary Patterson, TCU went a combined 23-2 en route to a pair of conference championships (Mountain West, 2005; Big 12, 2014). The Horned Frogs were 11-1 in 2005 after a 5-6 campaign in 2004, while going 12-1 with Big 12 and Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl championships in 2014 after a 4-8 season in 2013. 4The Horned Frogs were not ranked in the preseason Associated Press or Amway USA Today Coaches polls for the first time since 2014, when they went on to post a 12-1 record while winning a Big 12 championship and defeating Ole Miss 42-3 in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl. 4TCU has 21 scholarship seniors after having just eight last season. The Horned Frogs have 32 total seniors compared to just 13 a year ago. 4A 63-0 victory over Jackson State gave Patterson his 150th career victory. His 152 wins rank second nationally behind Kansas State s Bill Snyder (204) for most victories by a head coach at his current school. 4Beginning his 17th season, Patterson is the nation s second-longest tenured head coach. He trails only Iowa s Kirk Ferentz (19th year). 4Quarterback Kenny Hill s 75.0 completion percentage (63-of-84) ranks ninth in the nation and is on pace to set a TCU season record. 4TCU leads the nation in third-down conversion percentage at 65.8 (25-of-38). 4TCU is tied for second nationally with three defensive touchdowns this season.

CARTER STADIUM FORT WORTH, TEXAS No. 13 OKL AHOMA ST. 31 TCU 6 FORT WORTH, Texas - No. 13 Oklahoma State won its seventh straight game with a 31-6 decision over TCU. The game was scoreless until late in the first quater. After recovering a fumbled punt return at the Oklahoma State 6, TCU scored two plays later. A 4-yard Kenny Hill pass to KaVontae Turpin gave the Horned Frogs a 6-0 lead. Trailing 10-6, TCU had a chance to take the lead in the final minute of the first half after a 40-yard run by Hill. However, a fourth-down pass into the end zone with three seconds left fell incomplete. Oklahoma State scored on its only two drives in the third quarter to go ahead 24-6. Chris Carson had a 19-yard TD run and Mason Rudolph scored on a 2-yard keeper after a 63-yard pass to Chris Lacy.

A HAT TRICK 4Darius Anderson s 89 yards versus SMU led TCU in rushing for the third straight game. 4Anderson had scoring runs of 4 and 48 yards to give him a team-best three rushing touchdowns on the season and four in his career. 4Anderson s team-high 262 yards rushing account for 37.9 percent of TCU s season total and are double the next-closest Horned Frog (Kyle Hicks, 128). THE BIG GUY 4Sewo Olonilua had a career-high 63 yards rushing on nine carries against SMU. 4The 235-pound Olonilua had scoring runs of 1 and 13 yards on his only two rushes at Arkansas.

He then had a 71-yard second-quarter touchdown reception, TCU s longest play from scrimmage this season, to give the Horned Frogs a 21-19 lead. 4Reagor s 38-yard grab on a Hail Mary pass on the final play of the first half gave TCU the lead for good at 28-22. 4A 13-yard touchdown reception by Snell against Jackson State made him the first Horned Frog to score on his first collegiate touch since Deante Gray returned a punt 70 yards for a touchdown versus Grambling State in 2012. 4Below is a look at Reagor and Snell s receiving numbers this season: Name Rec.

HE S BACK 4After being sidelined by injury last year, Shaun Nixon has returned to action and is tied for third on TCU with seven receptions for 79 yards. 4Nixon s 11-yard touchdown catch against SMU was his second career scoring grab and first since Nov. 14, 2015, versus Kansas. 4Nixon placed second on TCU in 2015 with 47 receptions for 501 yards and a touchdown. He set a TCU bowl record with nine catches in the Horned Frogs 47-41 triple-overtime victory over Oregon in the Valero Alamo Bowl. MR.

(Strong Players Are Reaching Kids), an organization of TCU football student-athletes who serve as mentors to kids in Fort Worth. Nixon has also been a volunteer at HOPE Farm, a leadership program in Fort Worth for at-risk youth. TURPIN S HIGH SCHOOL QB 4John Diarse, who played his first two seasons at LSU, is from the same Monroe (La.) Neville High School that produced KaVontae Turpin. Diarse was Turpin s quarterback at Neville. 4In his first season at TCU, Diarse surpassed the number of receptions and receiving yards he had combined during his two years at LSU: Rec. Yds. Avg.

FROG DEFENSIVE NOTES A TCU TRADITION 4Since the NCAA began tracking statistics in 1937, TCU trails only Alabama for the most times leading the nation in total defense. The Crimson Tide have been No. 1 six times, while all five No. 1 rankings for the Horned Frogs are in the last 17 seasons. 4In 2010, TCU became just the third program in NCAA history to top the nation in total defense in three consecutive seasons (2008-10). The others are Toledo (1969-71) and Oklahoma (1985-87). AN OLDER GROUP 4Ten of TCU s 11 defensive starters this season are either seniors or juniors.

DEFENSIVE LEADERS 4TCU s game-by-game leaders in tackles this season: Opponent Name Tackles Jackson State Mat Boesen 7 Arkansas Ridwan Issahaku 8 SMU Nick Orr/Montrel Wilson 8 4Four different players have led TCU in tackles this season. 4Six players topped TCU in stops last year. HE S BACK 4 Montrel Wilson has started the last two games. 4 At Arkansas, Wilson made his first start since the 2016 season opener versus South Dakota State. He played in just two games last year before being sidelined by injury. He started seven games as a true freshman in 2015. 4 Wilson is tied with fellow linebacker Travin Howard for the team lead with 18 tackles. THE CENTURY MARK 4Travin Howard had a team-high 130 tackles in 2016. He became just the second Horned Frog in 16 years under head coach Gary Patterson with back-to-back years of 100 stops (Martin Patterson, 2003-04). 4Howard s 130 tackles led the Big 12 and ranked sixth nationally. 4Over the last six seasons, only three players have led TCU in tackles: Name Tackles Travin Howard, 2016 130 Travin Howard, 2015 105 Paul Dawson, 2014 136 Paul Dawson, 2013 91 Kenny Cain, 2012 86 Kenny Cain, 2011 72 LEARNING FROM THE BEST 4Graduate assistant Jason Phillips, Travin Howard s position coach, was the only player in 16 seasons under head coach Gary Patterson to lead the team in tackles in three different years. 4Phillips had team-high tackle totals of 71 in 2005, 87 in 2007 and 84 in 2008. His 73 stops in 2006 were second to safety Marvin White s 86. LINEBACKERS LEADING THE WAY 4Linebackers have led TCU in tackles in each of the last 10 seasons. 4The last non-linebacker to top the Horned Frogs in stops was safety Marvin White with 86 in 2006. TOP SEASONS 4Last year s tackle totals placed Travin Howard and Ty Summers third and fourth, respectively, for a season under head coach Gary Patterson: Name Total Tackles Paul Dawson, 2014 136 Martin Patterson, 2004 131 Travin Howard, 2016 130 Ty Summers, 2016 121 LaMarcus McDonald, 2002 118 HITTING THEM HARD 4Travin Howard and Ty Summers both received votes at Big 12 Media Day in the anonymous player poll for who the hardest hitter was in the Big 12.

FROG SPECIAL TEAMS NOTES TURPIN TIME 4If he had enough attempts to qualify for listing, KaVontae Turpin s 15.5-yard average on punt returns would top the Big 12 and rank 15th nationally. NOT A BAD REPLACEMENT 4Filling in for an injured KaVontae Turpin on punt returns last season, Desmon White had a 7.8-yard average. THE COVERAGE GAME 4The Horned Frogs have not allowed a punt return this season and opponents are averaging just 16.0 yards on kickoff returns. 4Turpin s 28.3 average on kickoff returns would also lead the Big 12 and be 18th in the country. LOOKING FOR HISTORY 4KaVontae Turpin s two punt returns for touchdowns leave him one shy of tying TCU s career record of three: Name Career Punt Returns for TDs Linzy Cole, 1968-69 3 Blanard Spearman, 1930-32 3 KaVontae Turpin, 2015-2 Several players 2 4Turpin is the first Horned Frog with two punt returns for touchdowns since seven-year NFL veteran and current New York Jet Jeremy Kerley had a pair of scores in 2009. TURP IN 2016 4Because he missed a combined five games last season due to injury, Turpin did not qualify for listing among NCAA statistical leaders. 4If he had the number of games played to qualify, Turpin would have led the Big 12 in punt returns and ranked eighth nationally with a 12.5-yard average. He would have been second in the conference and eighth in the country with his 28.4 mark on kickoff returns. 4Turpin s 28.4 average on kickoff returns was the highest by a Horned Frog since All-American Greg McCoy had a 30.6 mark in 2011. 4Prior to his injury, Turpin was leading the NCAA in punt returns (28.8 yards) and was one of two players nationally to rank in the top 10 in punt returns and kickoff returns. Turpin was eighth in kickoff returns (32.8 yards). 4Through two games, before the injury, Turpin topped the nation in all-purpose yards at 236.0 per game. He then left the Week 3 Iowa State contest due to injury. 4Turpin returned to his regular duties as TCU s primary kickoff and punt returner at Baylor. He had three kickoff returns for 99 yards (33.0 average), including a 46-yard effort on his first attempt of the game versus the Bears. 4Turpin s career-long 64-yard kickoff return against Arkansas, with less than a minute to play in regulation, set up a potential game-winning field goal. 4Turpin s 81-yard second-quarter punt return for a touchdown against South Dakota State was the second of his career. He had a 49-yard punt return for a score versus Kansas in 2015. 4Turpin s 81-yard effort tied for the sixth-longest punt return in TCU history. It was the Horned Frogs longest since LaVar Veale went 85 yards versus Nevada in 2000. 4At SMU, in his first game as Turpin s replacement, White had a career long 31-yard punt return on his first attempt. He totaled three returns for 74 yards (24.7 average) in being named the Big 12 Co-Special Teams Player of the Week. LOCAL SONG 4Fort Worth native Jonathan Song has converted all 20 of his PAT attempts this season. He has not attempted a field goal. THE ROAD TO TCU 4Place-kicker Brandon Ritchie attended four colleges but did not play football at any of them before arriving at TCU in Summer 2017. Semester Fall 2015 Spring 2016 Fall 2016 Spring 2017 Fall 2017 School Oklahoma State Ole Miss Tarrant County College Arkansas TCU 4Ritchie is a 2015 graduate of Covenant Christian Academy in Colleyville, Texas. As a senior, and in his only year of playing football, he was 2-of-3 on field goals with a long of 40. He made all 17 of his PATs. 4Ritchie converted a PAT against Jackson State and had one kickoff. STEADY FOOT 4Adam Nunez has placed three of his seven punts this season inside the opponent 20 with no touchbacks. 4Last season, Nunez placed 26 punts inside the opponent 20, including 15 at or inside the 10, with just two touchbacks. His 39.6-yard average was the best by a Horned Frog since Ethan Perry at 40.3 in 2013. 4In the last four games a year ago, Nunez placed 12 punts inside the 20, including seven inside the 10, with no touchbacks.

SEPT. 16, 2017 / ATTENDANCE: 44,489 AMON G. CARTER STADIUM / FORT WORTH, TEXAS JACKSON ST. 0 TCU 63 FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) - Coach Gary Patterson wasn t going to get overexcited about TCU s 63-0 victory against an FCS team. Even with that win against Jackson State being the 150th victory of his career, Patterson was keeping everything in perspective after the lopsided victory. This next one is a test (against Arkansas), Patterson said. I d be excited if I could get to 160 by the end of this season. Quarterback Kenny Hill threw for 206 yards and four touchdowns, two to Desmon White, and helped TCU take a comfortable lead early on. TCU scored on all three possessions in the first quarter, including a 13-yard touchdown where Kenedy Snell took a shovel pass and broke five tackles on a weaving sideline-to-sideline run. TCU posted its first shutout since 2014 and scored twice on defense as Ridwan Issahaku returned an interception 53 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter and Arico Evans returned a fumble 32 yards in the third. Hill completed 18 of 23 passes before being replaced by backup quarterback Shawn Robinson midway through the third quarter. The Tigers were limited to 24 yards rushing and 41 passing. Jackson State reached the TCU 7-yard line on the game s opening drive, but a fumbled snap led to a 28-yard loss and was followed up by a failed fake punt.

The Horned Frogs held Arkansas to 267 yards of total offense, a week after allowing only 65 yards in a 63-0 victory over Jackson State. They also controlled the time of possession with 195 yards rushing as a team, led by a career-high 106 on the ground from sophomore Darius Anderson. Anderson s career day topped his previous rushing best of 103 yards in a victory over Texas last season, helping TCU win in Fayetteville for the first time since 1984 when both schools were in the Southwest Conference. It was the collective effort of the Horned Frogs defense, however, that stole the show - while TCU quarterback Kenny Hill was content to manage the rushing game and lead an offense that converted 10 of 14 third downs. Even in a secondary role, the senior still finished 21-of-31 passing and topped 200 yards of total offense in his third career game against Arkansas. The Horned Frogs had three sacks in the game, one each by Ridwan Issahaku, Ben Banogu and Corey Bethley. It was its coverage that decimated Arkansas once-mighty passing attack, though. Only three Razorbacks wide receivers caught passes in the game and quarterback Austin Allen - who accounted for four touchdowns in last year s win - finished 9 of 23 for 138 yards passing.

SMU 36 NO. 20 TCU 56 FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) Jalen Reagor made a leaping 38-yard TD catch between four defenders who didn t jump with him on the final play of the first half, finally putting the Horned Frogs ahead to stay in a 56-36 victory. SMU led 19-7 before Kenny Hill threw three TD passes in the final 7 1/2 minutes of the second quarter. The last was Reagor s catch in a crowd of Mustangs who seemed more like observers than defenders. Darius Anderson ran for two touchdowns for TCU in the second half, including the first drive after halftime. Speedy running back Kenedy Snell also scored twice, while Hill completed 24 of 30 passes for 365 yards and four touchdowns. Snell had a 10-yard TD run and later turned a short pass into a 71-yard sprint to the end zone. That long score put TCU up 21-19 with 2:40 left in the first half. Snell and Reagor are both true freshmen from Waxahachie, Texas, less than an hour from the TCU campus. Josh Williams kicked his third field goal for SMU after Snell s big play, but TCU still had time. Taking over at its 44 with 10 seconds left after the kickoff, Snell had an 18-yard run before a timeout to set up the final play. TCU intercepted SMU quarterback Ben Hicks twice, including one returned 19 yards for a touchdown by linebacker Travin Howard.
