In an intense game at Amon G. Carter Stadium, the TCU Horned Frogs displayed a resilient effort but ultimately fell short against the visiting West Virginia Mountaineers. The home team's defense was notable for securing three interceptions and recording two sacks, showcasing their ability to disrupt the opposition's passing game. Despite these efforts, they could not capitalize on turnovers as much as needed.
The Horned Frogs' offense had moments of brilliance but struggled with consistency throughout the game. They managed a total of 283 yards with 153 coming from their rushing attack which included a standout longest run of 64 yards and one touchdown on the ground that contributed to their ten first downs via rushes. Their passing game was less effective, totaling only 144 yards and completing just over forty percent of their attempts.
Special teams played an essential role for the Horned Frogs as well; they executed flawlessly in field goals with one made from thirty yards out and saw success in extra points where they made both attempts. Additionally, fans were treated to an electrifying punt return touchdown that spanned seventy yards – a highlight moment that brought energy into Amon G. Carter Stadium.
Penalties were also part of this hard-fought contest; although not excessive enough to be deemed detrimental overall, ten penalties for sixty-nine yards were assessed against them which may have impacted momentum at crucial times during the game.
As time ticked away in Fort Worth under clear skies and on turf grounds before an attendance of over forty thousand fans, it became evident that despite strong individual performances and moments where they shined collectively as a team – such as achieving perfect red zone efficiency with two successes out of two attempts – victory would elude them this time around.
