The TCU Horned Frogs secured their narrow victory through a combination of effective passing and staunch defense. The home team's quarterback threw for 218 yards, completing 17 out of 33 attempts which included a remarkable longest pass completion of 67 yards that also resulted in the team's only passing touchdown. This performance contributed to an overall passer rating of approximately 117 for the game.

On the ground, TCU struggled to gain significant yardage against a tough Kansas State defense, managing only an average of about two yards per carry for a total rushing output of just 57 yards across 26 attempts. However, they did manage to find the end zone once on a short four-yard rush.

Defensively, TCU was relentless throughout the contest with four sacks totaling loss yardage amounting to approximately thirty-five yards and ten tackles for loss indicating their dominance on defensive plays. They also forced one fumble and recovered another while intercepting one pass from their opponents.

Special teams play saw eight punts by TCU covering nearly three hundred yards with two landing inside Kansas State's twenty-yard line; however no punts were blocked nor returned for touchdowns by either side during this encounter.

The receiving corps played an integral role in moving chains as well as scoring points; they caught passes totaling over two hundred yards including that pivotal sixty-seven-yard touchdown reception which was also their longest catch during this game.

Despite these impressive statistics, it wasn't all smooth sailing for TCU as they committed three fumbles and lost possession once due to this mishap but managed to recover twice defensively showing resilience under pressure.

Kansas State’s effort was notable too despite falling short on points; they held strong defensively limiting red zone conversions and maintained discipline with only two penalties costing them fifteen penalty yards throughout the entire game compared to TCU’s similar count in infractions but without significant impact on field position or scoring opportunities.
