Recap

TCU dominated Stephen F. Austin from start to finish, scoring touchdowns on four of its first five possessions to build an insurmountable lead. Trevone Boykin was surgical early, connecting with Kolby Listenbee for a 51-yard gain to set up Aaron Green's first touchdown, then finding Listenbee again for a 60-yard score late in the first quarter. The Frogs' offense was nearly unstoppable, converting 11 of 14 third downs and controlling the clock at 32:53 of possession. SFA managed only a 75-yard touchdown run by Loren Easly in the fourth quarter and a defensive touchdown on an interception return by Denzel Johnson, but those were mere consolations in what became a 70-7 rout that secured TCU's grip on the belt.

Trevone Boykin to Kolby Listenbee for 60 yards and a touchdown late in Q1 — established TCU's aerial dominance early
Denzel Johnson's 50-yard interception return for a touchdown in Q3 — SFA's only real highlight in an otherwise futile effort
Aaron Green and TCU's rushing attack scoring multiple touchdowns — the Frogs' ground game kept SFA's defense on its heels throughout
TCU's 11 of 14 third-down conversions — clinical efficiency that prevented any momentum for the visitors
