This was the quintessential "tilt the field and wait" game. Tyrone Swoopes has taken some decent developmental steps this year, but he simply wasn't ready to do any damage against the TCU defense, especially with no hope for a run game. TCU's own offense was far from spectacular, needing a couple of jump-ball big plays to save the Frogs from woeful overall inefficiency. But the Texas O was hopeless, and even with a couple of blown opportunities, TCU knew it would eventually capitalize on its field position and Swoopes' mistakes.
