Belt context

Where this game sits in the lineage

TCU came in 35 days into reign #291, which began with a win over West Virginia, with 3 defenses already behind it; this was its 4th defense. TCU went on to defend it 9 more times before Oklahoma State took it on November 7, 2015, 371 days after the reign began.

For Iowa State this was its 5th shot at the belt; it had never held the belt. It still hasn’t: 7 attempts in all, every one of them a loss or a tie.

It was the first of 2 meetings between the two with the belt on the line; all-time TCU leads 2–0.

Recap

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.

Boykin's 55-yard TD pass to Trevone Boykin on TCU's opening drive set the tone immediately
Iowa State's turnovers and inability to move the ball on third down (3-18) proved fatal against TCU's opportunistic defense
Derrick Kindred's 44-yard pick-six in the third quarter effectively ended any remaining hope for Iowa State
Boykin's five touchdown passes, particularly his third-quarter scoring strikes to Doctson and Gray, demonstrated TCU's complete dominance
