TCU's defense suffocated Texas from the start, forcing four interceptions and a fumble while the Horns struggled to move the ball consistently. Texas jumped out to an early lead with a defensive touchdown on Terrell Lathan's fumble return in the first quarter, but TCU methodically took over the game through the air, with Trevone Boykin finding Josh Doctson repeatedly downfield. After trailing early, TCU scored on a David Porter touchdown reception in the second quarter and never looked back, dominating the second half with scores from Boykin (both passing and rushing), Aaron Green, and a relentless defensive effort that forced Texas into bad decisions. The Horns' six turnovers to TCU's two told the story of a lopsided affair that saw the Frogs pull away decisively in the fourth quarter.
