TCU's offense was simply unstoppable in this belt defense, with Trevone Boykin orchestrating a clinic that left Iowa State's defense helpless. The Horned Frogs struck early and often, with Boykin finding Trevone Boykin for a 55-yard touchdown just nine minutes into the first quarter, then adding a field goal drive capped by Aaron Green's 3-yard score to go up 14-0 before the end of the opening frame. Iowa State managed only a Cole Netten field goal in the second quarter as TCU's defense forced multiple turnovers, including an interception that led to another Boykin touchdown pass to Josh Doctson in the third quarter. The fourth quarter saw TCU's reserves continue to pile on, with Boykin adding his fifth touchdown pass to Ja'Juan Story to cap an absolutely dominant performance that never was in question after the first quarter.
