Four field goals. TCU settled for four field goals. With better execution near the end zone, the Frogs might have scored 90. Of course, when you generate 15 scoring opportunities in 16 games, you can afford to waste some. Goodness.

The funniest part: relatively speaking, it took TCU's offense a little while to get going, as the Frogs needed some big gains on passing downs to overcome sketchy success rates. And then when the game reached garbage-time status, they wreaked havoc.
