Two years after an undefeated regular season and a national championship appearance, TCU Football has reached a new low. It’s been nothing but disappointment for this program since that game, but this loss left Frog fans in complete disarray.

Houston never trailed in a 30-19 win over TCU. After both teams committed turnovers on downs, the Cougars led a seven-play drive that resulted in a score Zeon Chriss touchdown pass to Devan Williams. A two-yard score from Re’Shaun Sanford and a field goal gave Houston a 17-0 lead. The home fans were stunned as their team struggled throughout the night.

The Frogs finally got an answer late in the first half Savion Williams made a nice catch, but a missed extra point made it 17-6. It didn’t take long for Chriss to make his statement as he rushed 77 yards to give the Cougars a 24-6 halftime lead.

In the second half, the offense started to put things in order. Jeremy Payne hit it in from two meters away and cut the lead to 12 and Jack Bech He scored again, making it a one-possession game. Houston was down eight players and desperately needed a stop. He ran all over the field and the defense couldn’t get off the field. A field goal appeared to end the game.

Josh Hoover went 23-37 for 233 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions. It was a tough night for the second-year quarterback. He made a few bad reads, but was also constantly under pressure. The Cougars reached Hoover with a three-man rush. JP Richardson led all receivers with nine catches for 98 yards.

Run defense continued to be a problem. The Cougars didn’t do anything special and yet Andy Avalos had no answers. They allowed 207 rushing yards. The offense rotated four times and seven times in the last two games.

A lot of credit goes to Houston for coming out and making it to the Horned Frogs. For a team that hadn’t scored in their last two games, they looked like the more energetic and excited team. The loss led to boos at Amon G. Carter Stadium as fans left the stadium upset and disappointed.

Head coach Sonny Dykes said this was a devastating loss, the players were hurt and embarrassed and the fans deserved better. The standard has risen at TCU. A standard that has been set Gary Patterson and went to another level two years ago. Fans expect excellence and a program that can compete at the top of the conference. What happened on Friday night is inexcusable and fans have every right to express their frustration. This team needs to get better.

The Frogs will have a much-needed bye week before heading out to face each other Utah on October 19th.
