Recap

TCU claimed the College Football Belt with a 28-21 victory over Baylor in a turnover-filled affair that saw the Horned Frogs capitalize on five Baylor miscues. The game featured explosive plays from both offenses early, with Baylor scoring first on a Devin Chafin 1-yard run, then TCU answering with Jarrison Stewart's 25-yard touchdown reception from Trevone Boykin in the first quarter. The pivotal moment came in the second quarter when Josh Carraway returned a Baylor fumble 56 yards for a touchdown, a momentum-swinging play that effectively decided the belt. Despite Baylor's overall statistical advantage with 335 total yards and 273 rushing yards, the Frogs' opportunistic defense and Boykin's ability to convert in key moments proved decisive in the closing stages, with TCU scoring late to secure the belt.

Josh Carraway's 56-yard fumble return for a touchdown in Q2 -- TCU's pivotal defensive score that swung momentum decisively in the Frogs' favor
Jarrison Stewart's 25-yard touchdown reception from Trevone Boykin in Q1 -- TCU's early offensive spark that kept pace with Baylor
Baylor's five turnovers vs TCU's two -- the turnover margin proved to be the decisive factor in TCU claiming the belt
