Recap

TCU seized control early with a bizarre touchdown when Trevone Boykin's fumble was recovered by Cliff Murphy for a score, and the Horned Frogs built momentum through the first quarter as Boykin connected repeatedly with Josh Doctson, who kept drawing penalties from Oklahoma's secondary. Oklahoma struck back quickly with big plays from Trevor Knight, including a stunning 75-yard touchdown pass to Sterling Shepard late in the first quarter, but TCU's balanced attack kept them ahead through the first half. The teams traded scores throughout the third quarter, but TCU's defense held just enough down the stretch as Oklahoma couldn't quite overcome the early deficit, with the Horned Frogs' superior third-down conversion rate (10-18 vs 7-18) proving decisive in the 37-33 victory.

Cliff Murphy's recovery of Boykin's fumble for a touchdown in Q1 to stake TCU to an early 7-0 lead
Sterling Shepard's 75-yard TD reception from Trevor Knight in Q1 to keep Oklahoma in the game despite early TCU momentum
B.J. Catalon's 39-yard touchdown reception from Boykin in Q2 that extended TCU's lead heading into halftime
TCU's 10-18 third-down conversion rate outpacing Oklahoma's 7-18, enabling the Horned Frogs to sustain drives and control the game's tempo
