FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) - No. 4 TCU is dominating on defense again. Now the Frogs should find out how much that has to do with the punchless offenses they've opposed.
TCU came within a field goal of becoming the first major college team since Boston College in 1992 to post three consecutive shutouts, settling for a 31-3 victory against BYU on Saturday.

"I'm not willing to go out there and vote them to be the Pittsburgh Steelers yet or the Dallas Cowboys. Next week we're going to face an older Air Force quarterback, and anytime Air Force has an older quarterback, you'd better get ready to go." ...
