NO. 15 TCU (10-2) VS. LOUISIANA TECH (8-4) DEC. 21 • SAN DIEGO, CALIF. • 5 P.M. (PACIFIC) QUALCOMM STADIUM (66,000) • ESPN

ABOUT THE GAME • Mountain West champion and No. 15 TCU will face Western Athletic Conference champion Louisiana Tech in the San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl. • The Poinsettia Bowl is one of just four bowls this season to match conference champions against each other, joining the Rose (Oregon-Wisconsin), Orange (Clemson- West Virginia) and GoDaddy.com Bowl (Arkansas State-Northern Illinois). • TCU has won three consecutive conference titles for the first time in its history, giving the Frogs 17 conference titles overall. • The Poinsettia Bowl will mark the 27th bowl appearance in TCU’s history. The Frogs are 12-13-1 in bowl games. • TCU is 8-4 in bowl games with head coach Gary Patterson on its coaching staff and 6-4 with him as head coach. Prior to Patterson’s arrival on campus in 1998, the Frogs had just four bowl wins in their history. • The Frogs will be making their 13th bowl appearance in the last 14 seasons. TCU is one of just 12 schools to play in at least 13 bowl games over the last 14 years. • TCU and Louisiana Tech will be meeting for the first time on the gridiron. CHASING DUTCH • A win in the Poinsettia Bowl would be the 109th for TCU coach Gary Patterson, tying Dutch Meyer as TCU’s all-time winningest coach. Meyer was 109-79-13 from 1934-52, including national championships in 1935 and 1938. • Patterson has won 108 games with just 30 losses. His .783 winning percentage ranks fourth nationally among active FBS head coaches. GOING OUT IN STYLE • The 2011 campaign marked the Frogs’ final season in the Mountain West before heading to the Big 12 next fall. • TCU is the first school in MW history to win the league title in three straight seasons. • TCU closed its Mountain West era by not losing a conference game over its final three years in the league. The Frogs leave the MW with the following record win streaks that were all active: consecutive conference wins (24), consecutive home league victories (17) and consecutive road league wins (12). • The Frogs’ 24-game conference winning streak is the longest in the nation. DOUBLE DIGITS • TCU has reached the 10-win mark for the fourth straight year and eighth time in the last 10 seasons under head coach Gary Patterson. Prior to Patterson’s arrival on campus in 1998, the Frogs had just four 10-win seasons in their history. • A victory in the Poinsettia Bowl would get TCU to 11 wins for the seventh time in 10 years. SECOND HOMES • TCU will be making its second appearance this season at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego, having defeated San Diego State 27-14 on Oct. 8. • The Poinsettia Bowl will also mark the seventh time in seven years the Frogs will have played at Qualcomm Stadium. TCU is 6-0 in that stretch. The Frogs had four regular-season wins over the Aztecs while posting Poinsettia Bowl victories over Northern Illinois (2006) and Boise State (2008). THE WIN COLUMN • TCU has won 37 of its last 40 games and is 49-5 in its last 54 contests. • Since 2008, the Frogs’ 46 wins (46-5) trail only Boise State (49-3) and Alabama (47- 6). • TCU is one of six teams (Ohio State, Oregon, Virginia Tech, Stanford, Wisconsin) to play in a BCS game two of the last three seasons.

2011 TCU HORNED FROGS PO I NSETTIA BOWL G U I D E VERSUS THE AQ LEAGUES • Dating back to 2002, the Frogs are 16-4 in their last 20 games against teams from conferences with automatic BCS bids. • TCU had a five-game winning streak versus AQ opponents snapped at Baylor. • The Frogs are 7-2 in their last nine games against teams from leagues with automatic BCS bids. • Since Gary Patterson arrived at TCU as defensive coordinator in 1998, the Frogs are 20-9 versus teams from AQ leagues. The 20 wins are tied with Navy for the most in the nation by a non-automatic qualifier. • Since 2003, TCU’s 15 wins over teams from conferences with automatic BCS bids trail only Navy (18). • Beginning with a season-opening victory at Oklahoma in 2005 and concluding with a win over Baylor in 2007, TCU put together five straight triumphs over Big 12 teams.

FROGS DEFENSIVE NOTES

A TCU TRADITION • Since the NCAA began tracking statistics in 1937, TCU has led the nation in total defense (five times) more than any other team. All five No. 1 rankings are in the last 11 seasons. • In 2010, TCU became just the third program in NCAA history to top the nation in total defense in three consecutive seasons. The others are Toledo (1969-71) and Oklahoma (1985-87). BROCK SIDELINED • Preseason All-America linebacker Tanner Brock, last year’s leading tackler, was sidelined for the season by injury. • Brock totaled 106 tackles in 2010, 26 more than the next-closest Frog (Colin Jones, 80). NEW FACES • TCU has had 14 different defensive players make their first collegiate start in a game this season. • The Frogs have had at least one first-time starter on defense in eight of their 12 games, including true freshmen defensive linemen Chuck Hunter and Jon Lewis. • TCU has started the same 11 players on defense in just three games (New Mexico, BYU, Boise State) this season. • It wasn’t until week seven, versus New Mexico, that TCU did not have at least one defensive player in his first career start. • TCU had five first-time defensive starters at Baylor, including three players in their collegiate debut. • The following Frogs have made their first collegiate starts this season: weak safety Jonathan Anderson, defensive end Braylon Broughton, nose tackle Ray Burns, linebacker Kenny Cain, strong safety Sam Carter, free safety Johnny Fobbs, linebacker Kris Gardner, nose tackle Chuck Hunter, nose tackle David Johnson, strong safety Devin Johnson, defensive tackle Jon Lewis, strong safety Trent Thomas, cornerback Jason Verrett and cornerback Kevin White. ROOKIE WATCH • Three true freshmen, nose tackle Chuck Hunter, defensive tackle Jon Lewis and linebacker Deryck Gildon, have seen action on defense for TCU this season. • Eight freshmen appear on TCU’s defensive depth chart. • Hunter and Lewis are just the second and third true freshmen to start for TCU in 11 seasons under Gary Patterson. • The only other true freshman to start was nose tackle Kelly Griffin in 2007.

BACK TO BACK • TCU linebacker Tank Carder, last year’s Rose Bowl Defensive Most Valuable Player, is the Mountain West Defensive Player of the Year for the second straight season. • Combined with two-time consensus first-team All-American Jerry Hughes in 2008 and 2009, TCU has had the MW’s Defensive Player of the Year each of the last four seasons. CARDER FOR SIX • Both of Tank Carder’s team-high two interceptions this season have been returned for touchdowns. • Carder ranks first all-time at TCU with three interception returns for touchdowns. He has four picks in his career. • Carder had a 69-yard interception return for a score against Colorado State as well as a 26-yard touchdown versus Portland State. He also returned a pick 15 yards for a touchdown against Utah in 2009. • Carder’s 69-yard interception return for a touchdown against Colorado State was TCU’s longest pick for a score since Quincy Butler went 99 yards versus Southern Miss in 2004. SELECT COMPANY • Stansly Maponga is one of just four players in the nation to rank in the top 10 in forced fumbles (5) and top 20 in sacks (9). The others are Nordly Capi (Colorado State), Vinny Curry (Marshall) and Whitney Mercilus (Illinois). • Maponga is tied for eighth in forced fumbles and 17th in sacks. TOPPING THE CHARTS • Stansly Maponga, on the Midseason Watch List for the Ted Hendricks Award, leads TCU in tackles for loss (12 1/2), sacks (9), forced fumbles (5) and fumble recoveries (2). • Maponga tops the defensive line while placing sixth on TCU with 51 tackles, including a career-high nine versus UNLV. NOSE FOR THE BALL • Stansly Maponga has either forced a fumble or made a recovery in six of the 12 games this season. • Maponga’s five forced fumbles are the most by a Frog since All-American Jerry Hughes led the nation with six in 2008. • Free safety and graduate student Johnny Fobbs forced fumbles on New Mexico’s opening two possessions. SACK WATCH • TCU has 23 sacks in its last 10 games after totaling one in the first two contests. • Eleven players have combined for TCU’s 24 sacks.

2011 TCU HORNED FROGS PO I NSETTIA BOWL G U I D E

FROGS SPECIAL TEAMS NOTES

SETTING THE PACE • TCU tops the nation with a 28.6 kickoff return average. • The Frogs’ three kickoff returns for touchdowns, two by Greg McCoy and one by Waymon James, are tied with New Mexico State for the national lead. • McCoy tops the Mountain West while placing fourth nationally with a 31.6 return average. He set a TCU single-season record with a 35.9 mark in 2009. DOMINATING THE HONORS • With Greg McCoy being selected the Mountain West Special Teams Player of the Year, a Frog has now garnered that honor the last three seasons (Jeremy Kerley, 2009-10). • TCU had the first-team All-MW return specialist all seven seasons it was in the league (Cory Rodgers, 2005; Brian Bonner, 2006-07; Kerley, 2008-10; McCoy, 2011). DUAL THREATS • Both Greg McCoy and Waymon James have returned kickoffs for touchdowns this season. • McCoy went 94 yards versus ULM and 99 yards against UNLV. James had an 82-yard TD against Portland State. • TCU has multiple kickoff returns for touchdowns in the same season for the first time since 2005, when Cory Rodgers went 87 yards at SMU and 100 yards at BYU. MCCOY FOR SIX • Greg McCoy’s three career kickoff returns for touchdowns are tied for first all-time at TCU (LaTarence Dunbar, 1999-02). • McCoy is also one of just four Frogs to have three total kick returns for a score in a career, joining Dunbar, Linzy Cole (1968-69) and Blanard Spearman (1930-32). • McCoy’s 99-yard kickoff return against UNLV made him the first Frog since Cory Rodgers in 2005 to return two kickoffs for scores in the same season. • McCoy’s 99- and 94-yard touchdowns are the second- and third-longest in 11 seasons under Patterson as head coach, surpassed only by Rodgers’ 100-yard return at BYU in 2005. A RECORD-SETTING NIGHT • Greg McCoy set a TCU record with 229 kickoff return yards on six attempts at Baylor. • The previous TCU mark was 191 yards on eight returns by Cory Rodgers against Louisville in 2004. • The 229 yards by McCoy also equaled Rodgers’ record for total return yards in a game. • McCoy’s first two kickoff returns against Baylor went for 73 and 68 yards to set up TCU scores. YES, HE’S THE PUNTER • TCU punter Anson Kelton is a 6-foot-4, 280-pound former high school defensive end. • Over the last three seasons, Kelton has placed 48 punts inside the 20 with just 11 touchbacks. • Kelton, who also doubles as TCU’s holder on field goals and extra points, is averaging 39.8 yards per punt. FAVORITE TEAMS • Anson Kelton was the MW Special Teams Player of the Week after averaging 45.8 yards on four punts, including a long of 62, at Boise State. • Kelton’s 62-yard punt was his longest kick since 62- and 65-yards boots versus the Broncos in the 2010 Fiesta Bowl. SAVING HIS BEST FOR THE BCS • Anson Kelton was an unsung hero in the Rose Bowl, twice pinning Wisconsin inside its own 11-yard line in the second half. The Badgers’ average starting field position was their 20. • In the 2010 Fiesta Bowl, Kelton averaged 48.4 yards on eight punts with three inside the 20.

2011 TCU HORNED FROGS PO I NSETTIA BOWL G U I D E

HEAD COACH

K A N S A S S TAT E , 19 8 3 11TH S E A S O N A S TC U H E A D C O A C H 14TH S E A S O N O V E R A L L AT TC U Since taking over the helm of the Horned Frogs in December 2000, Gary Patterson has become synonymous with TCU football.

In 2009, Patterson was selected for nine national coaching honors after leading TCU to a 12-1 record, No. 6 ranking and Fiesta Bowl appearance.

Despite losing 26 seniors to graduation off his 2011 Rose Bowl championship team, Patterson led this year’s TCU squad to its third consecutive Mountain West championship. TCU is also the first team in MW history to win the league championship in three consecutive campaigns.

Patterson was named National Coach of the Year by the Walter Camp Football Foundation, Associated Press, American Football Coaches Association and Sporting News while also receiving the Bobby Dodd Award, Eddie Robinson Award, Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year Award, George Munger Award and Woody Hayes Award.

Patterson will look to continue the momentum when he guides TCU into Big 12 play in 2012.

Despite losing two starters in the first two rounds of the National Football League draft and a pair of four-year starters at cornerback, TCU topped the nation in total defense in 2010. The Horned Frogs became just the third program in NCAA history to finish first in that category in three straight seasons.

With a 10-2 record in 2011, Patterson enters the Poinsettia Bowl just one victory shy of tying Dutch Meyer (109) as TCU’s all-time winningest coach. Meyer led the Horned Frogs to their national championships in 1935 and 1938.

Since the NCAA began tracking statistics in 1937, no other school has finished first in total defense as many times (five) as TCU. All five of those No. 1 rankings (2000, 2002, 2008, 2009, 2010) have come in the last 11 seasons under Patterson.

Patterson’s .783 winning percentage (108-30) is fourth among active coaches nationally with a minimum of five years experience. He is also one of just eight active coaches to have won at least 100 games at their current school.

The Frogs have won seven conference titles with Patterson on staff in addition to posting nine of the school’s 13 10-win seasons. He was TCU’s defensive coordinator from 1998-00.

In 2011, TCU has recorded its fourth straight 10-win season and eighth in the last 10 years. In 2010, Patterson guided the Horned Frogs to an undefeated season and Rose Bowl championship. TCU finished second in the final polls with a 13-0 record, its first perfect campaign since winning the national championship in 1938.

During his 14 years on campus, Patterson has seen TCU make 13 bowl appearances. From 2005-08, Patterson led the Frogs to four straight bowl victories for the first time in school history. During that stretch, TCU was one of just seven schools nationally to have a current bowl winning streak of at least four in a row.

The Horned Frogs are the only team in the nation to be ranked in the season-ending top 10 in both the Associated Press and USA Today polls over the last three years. TCU has finished in the top 10 four times in the past six years. TCU’s average final ranking of No. 5 over the last three seasons ranks first nationally.

TCU is 8-4 in bowl games with Patterson on its coaching staff and 6-4 with him as head coach. Prior to Patterson’s arrival on campus in 1998, the Frogs had just four bowl wins in their history.

Patterson was named American Football Monthly’s 2010 Coach of the Year as he led TCU to its second straight BCS game. Other recent honors for Patterson include the Exchange Club of Fort Worth recognizing him as Fort Worth’s Outstanding Citizen for 2010, while the National Football Foundation’s Gridiron Club of Dallas selected him for its 2011 Distinguished Texan Award. Patterson also received the 2010 TCU Chancellor’s Staff Award for Outstanding Service. Patterson’s success on the gridiron is also mirrored in the classroom for his players. In each of the last four seasons, TCU has been recognized by the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) as one of the nation’s leaders in its graduation rate for student-athletes. All 19 seniors in 2011 are on pace to have their degree by Fall 2012. TCU is also one of just four programs to finish in the top 25 in the final 2010 polls and in the Academic Progress Rate (APR).

In 11 seasons as a head coach, Patterson has coached 149 All-Conference selections, 14 first-team All-Americans, 14 Freshman All-Americans and two Academic AllAmericans. In six of its seven seasons in the Mountain West, TCU set the pace on the all-conference teams. The Frogs had a school-record 20 selections in 2009, 19 in 2011, 18 in 2005 and 2008, 17 in 2010, 14 in 2006 and 11 in 2007. As TCU’s head coach, Patterson has had 29 players drafted with a total of 60 in NFL camps. The No. 6 spot in the polls in 2009 was TCU’s highest season-ending ranking since 1955, when it was also sixth. The Frogs had their first undefeated regular season since their 1938 national championship campaign. Despite losing seven starters to graduation, including three to the NFL, off 2008’s No. 1 defense, the Frogs led the nation in 2009 by allowing just 239.7 yards per game. TCU and Florida were the only schools in 2009 to rank in

Patterson guided TCU to an 11-2 record and a No. 7 ranking in the final AP and USA Today polls. It was the Frogs’ highest season-ending appearance in the polls since 1959. Included in the win total were victories over then-undefeated, top-10 teams BYU and Boise State. It was the first time since 1961 that TCU beat two top-10 opponents in the same season. TCU led the nation in total defense (217.8 yards per game) in 2008 for the third time in nine seasons. No other school in the country has finished first in that category as many times as TCU in that span. The Frogs were also first in run defense (47.1 yards), fewest first downs allowed per game (12.1) and time of possession (35:10). TCU was second in scoring defense (11.3 points per game). Patterson became the fastest TCU coach to reach 50 victories (70 games) with a 27-21 win at New Mexico on Nov. 11, 2006. He was also the quickest to 100 wins (129 contests) after a 38-17 victory over Louisiana-Monroe on Sept. 17, 2011. Patterson was the 2002 Conference USA and 2005 Mountain West Conference Coach of the Year. An 11-2 record in 2006 included wins over Big 12 opponents Baylor and Texas Tech as well as a 37-7 victory over Northern Illinois in the Poinsettia Bowl. The Frogs’ defense ranked second nationally in run defense (60.8 yards per game) and total defense (234.9 yards per game) while placing third in scoring defense (12.3 points per game). TCU won its last eight games in 2006 for the fourth-best winning streak at the time in the nation, trailing only Boise State (13), BYU (10) and Wisconsin (9). The Frogs’ eight consecutive wins were by an average margin of 24.4 points. During that stretch, the TCU defense allowed per game marks of 10.8 points, 59.6 yards rushing and 185.1 in total offense. In 2005, Patterson led the Frogs to the Mountain West Conference championship in their first season of league play. It was also TCU’s first outright conference championship since 1958. The Frogs posted an 11-1 record for just the fourth 11-win season in school history and the second in three years. TCU also recorded its first undefeated league mark (8-0) dating back to 1938.

The Frogs opened and closed the 2005 season with victories over Big 12 teams. Following a 27-24 EV1.net Houston Bowl win over Iowa State, Patterson saw TCU climb to ninth in the USA Today poll and 11th in the Associated Press poll. It was TCU’s highest season-ending ranking since 1959. Patterson’s success in 2005 was achieved while playing a total of 21 redshirt or true freshmen, tying for fourth nationally in that category.

Setting the pace nationally in defensive categories is nothing new for Patterson. His teams also led the country in defense during the 2000 and 2002 campaigns. In 2002, the Frogs allowed only 64.8 rushing yards per game ranking first in that category as well.

TCU has been no stranger to the post-season in the Patterson era. The Frogs have emerged victorious seven times in their run of 12 bowl games in 13 seasons, including a 17-3 win over MWC champion Colorado State in the 2002 AXA Liberty Bowl. In his first full season as head coach with the Frogs in 2001, Patterson was one of only eight coaches with no previous Division I head coaching experience to lead their teams to bowl appearances. He proceeded to take the Frogs to a bowl in each of his first three years. Patterson’s 10-2 record and conference championship in the 2002 season earned him Conference USA Coach of the Year accolades. The Frogs finished the season ranked 22nd in the USA Today/ESPN Coaches Poll and 23rd in the Associated Press poll. Eleven of Patterson’s career wins came in the Horned Frogs’ 2003 campaign, when TCU climbed as high as sixth in the BCS rankings - the highest ranking at that time for a school from a non-automatic qualifying conference. Under Patterson’s guidance, the Frogs got off to a 10-0 start after opening the season ranked 25th in the Associated Press poll. They finished the season 11-2 and ranked in the top 25 for the second year in a row - the first time that had happened at TCU since the 1950s. His leadership of the 2003 squad made him a finalist for both the Eddie Robinson and Bobby Dodd Coach of the Year honors. He was also named an assistant coach for the Hula Bowl. In 2004, the Frogs finished in the top 20 in the nation in scoring offense, passing offense and total offense. The Patterson chapter of TCU football, however, has been

major defensive category. In 2000, the Frogs allowed only 245.0 total yards and 9.6 points per game, ranking first in the nation in both categories. Five of Patterson’s players earned first-team allconference recognition and he was a finalist for the Frank Broyles National Assistant Coach of the Year award.

In 1998, Patterson’s first season at TCU, the Horned Frogs scored a school-record six defensive touchdowns, intercepted 12 passes and allowed only 19.6 points per game - the fewest points per game in over 30 years. It was accomplished by a team that was 1-10 the previous season.

Prior to his arrival in Fort Worth, Patterson spent two seasons as the defensive coordinator and safeties coach at New Mexico. The Lobos collected 22 total takeaways and three defensive touchdowns in 1996. The next year, in Patterson style, New Mexico improved their total takeaways to 29, including 16 interceptions.

James all recorded 100-yard games in the 2010 campaign.

After coming to TCU as a graduate assistant, Jarrett Anderson is in his 14th year overall with the Frogs.

In 2009, the Horned Frogs established previous singleseason school marks for points scored (498), total offense (5,937 yards), touchdowns (65) and first downs (311).

In February 2009, Anderson was promoted to cooffensive coordinator. He also became the running backs coach after serving as wide receivers coach the previous eight seasons.

TCU ranked fifth nationally in rushing offense (239.5 yards per game) and scoring (38.3 points per game) while placing seventh in total offense (456.7 yards per game) and eighth in passing efficiency (154.1).

In both of Anderson’s first two seasons as a coordinator, TCU set single-season school records for touchdowns, points scored and first downs while also ranking among the nation’s most productive units. The Horned Frogs won 25 of 26 games and made back-to-back BCS appearances, including winning the 2011 Rose Bowl.

Anderson helped mentor Tucker and Wesley into being the Frogs’ second- and third-leading rushers with 676 and 638 yards, respectively. Those totals represented the fifth- and sixth-best rushing totals by a freshman in TCU history.

With Anderson’s guidance in 2011, Ed Wesley, Matthew Tucker and Waymon James earned honorable mention All-Mountain West honors. Each rushed for more than 600 yards, while Tucker found the end zone 11 times.

In 2008, Jimmy Young became the first TCU wide receiver to be named All-Mountain West Conference. Young had 988 yards receiving to narrowly miss just the second 1,000-yard season in TCU history. His 59 receptions tied for the fourth-best total on the Frogs’ single-season chart.

In 2010, Anderson helped direct TCU to single-season school marks in touchdowns (73), points scored (541), total offense (6,199 yards) and first downs (327). The Horned Frogs ranked fourth nationally in scoring (41.6 points per game), sixth in passing efficiency (166.9), 10th in rushing (247.4 yards per game) and 12th in total offense (476.9 yards per game).

Under Anderson’s tutelage, three TCU receivers in eight years were drafted by NFL teams. Cory Rodgers was a fourth-round pick by Green Bay in 2006. Adrian Madise and LaTarence Dunbar were selected in the fifth and sixth rounds in 2003 by Denver and Atlanta, respectively. All three finished their careers in the top 10 of various TCU receiving categories.

As a sophomore in 2010, Wesley ran for 1,078 yards to become TCU’s first 1,000-yard rusher since 2003. He was a first-team All-Mountain West Conference selection and one of 10 semifinalists for the Doak Walker Award as the nation’s top running back.

During his three-year career, Rodgers tied Mike Renfro’s career TCU mark of 17 receiving touchdowns. In 2006, Quentily Harmon closed his career as TCU’s ninth-leading receiver with 111 catches. In addition, Michael DePriest was signed as a free-agent in 2007 by Indianapolis.

D E F E N S I V E C O O R D I N ATO R/ DEFENSIVE LINE 8TH S E A S O N AT TC U A R K A N S A S , 1973 Dick Bumpas joined TCU in February 2004 as the defensive coordinator and defensive line coach. Bumpas first teamed with Patterson at Kansas State in the early 1980s. He was the Wildcats’ defensive line coach in 1981 when Patterson was a senior linebacker. Patterson then became a KSU graduate assistant in 1982 and joined Bumpas on staff. The duo worked together the next two seasons (1983-84) at Tennessee Tech. Bumpas and Patterson reunited at Utah State from 1992-94 and at Navy in 1995. At both places, Bumpas was the defensive coordinator while Patterson was the secondary coach. TCU continued its trend of churning out standout defensive ends under Bumpas in 2011 as Stansly Maponga earned first-time All-Mountain West honors. Maponga was second in the league in sacks and forced fumbles. In 2010, Bumpas was a finalist for the Broyles Award, recognizing the nation’s top assistant coach, for the third consecutive season. He has been a finalist for the honor four times in his career. TCU topped the country in 2010 in total defense (228.51 ypg), for the third straight season. Bumpas had an All-American on all three levels of his starting lineup in defensive end Wayne Daniels, linebacker Tank Carder and safety Tejay Johnson. Bumpas mentored Horned Frog defensive end Jerry Hughes into being a two-time consensus All-American and the 2009 recipient of the Ted Hendricks Award and Lott Trophy. Hughes was also a finalist for the Bronko Nagurski Trophy and Rotary Lombardi Award. In 2008, TCU led the nation in total defense (217.8 yards per game), run defense (47.1 yards per game) and fewest first downs allowed per game (12.1) while placing second in scoring defense (11.3 points per game) and sacks (43) and fourth in pass efficiency defense (97.9). All four of TCU’s starting defensive linemen in 2008 were named All-MWC. In addition to Hughes being a first-team selection, seniors Cody Moore and defensive end Matt

Panfil enjoyed their best seasons in 2008 and were both second-team picks. Defensive tackle James Vess was an honorable-mention choice. In a coaching career that has spanned 30 years, Bumpas has won championships in four different conferences and coached at all three service academies. He has also coached in 16 bowl games. Bumpas came to TCU after serving as Western Michigan’s defensive coordinator for one season. Bumpas worked at the University of Houston from 199902, serving as assistant head coach and linebackers coach and later as co-defensive coordinator, installing the 4-2-5 defense in his initial season. In 2001, Bumpas coached Wayne Rogers, the Conference USA Co-Defensive Player of the Year. Prior to his stint at Houston, Bumpas worked four seasons at the U.S. Naval Academy as assistant head coach, defensive coordinator and defensive line coach. His 1997 Navy unit ranked sixth in total defense and turnover margin. At season’s end, he was invited to coach in the Blue-Gray All-Star Game. Bumpas spent three seasons (1992-94) as assistant head coach and defensive coordinator at Utah State, helping the Aggies to a 1993 Big West Championship and a Las Vegas Bowl victory over Ball State. Other coaching stops include two seasons as defensive line coach at Notre Dame (1990-91), during which time he mentored 1990 Lombardi Award winner Chris Zorich. In 1989, Bumpas coached the defensive line at his alma mater, Arkansas, a team that went on to win a Southwest Conference title and advanced to the 1990 Cotton Bowl. Bumpas coached seven years in the Volunteer state, splitting time between the University of Tennessee (1985-89) as linebackers coach/special teams coordinator and Tennessee Tech (1983-84) as assistant head coach and defensive coordinator. While with the Vols, Bumpas coached three bowl championship teams (1986 Sugar, 1986 Liberty, 1988 Peach) and was part of the Southeastern Conference championship in 1985. Bumpas began his collegiate coaching career as a graduate assistant at Arkansas in 1977. From there, he went to the U.S. Military Academy and implemented a new defense under Homer Smith in 1978. Bumpas installeda new defese at the Air Force Academy during a two-year tenure (1979-80). A native of Fort Smith, Ark., Bumpas received three varsity letters and was a captain for the Razorbacks. He was named SWC Defensive Player of the Year in 1970, earning consensus All-America honors at defensive tackle. Bumpas was a 2006 inductee into the University of Arkansas Sports Hall of Honor. Bumpas is married to the former Gloria Surratt.

DAN SHARP

TIGHT ENDS/ SPECIAL TEAMS 11TH S E A S O N AT TC U TC U , 19 8 5

One of the more popular players to ever don the Purple and White, Dan Sharp is in his 11th year during his second stint as an assistant coach at his alma mater. He doubles as the tight ends and special teams coach. A 2005 inductee into the TCU Lettermen’s Hall of Fame, Sharp returned to campus in 2001 as the tight ends coach and special teams coordinator. He previously coached nine seasons at TCU before heading to Tulsa in 1998. In 2011, TCU led the nation in kickoff return average for the second time in the last three seasons with a 28.6-yard mark. The Frogs returned three kickoffs for touchdowns. While coaching placekicker Ross Evans for four seasons, Evans has set eight TCU records and three Mountain West records. Under Sharp’s tutelage in 2010, Jeremy Kerley was named the Mountain West Conference Special Teams Player of the Year. TCU has had the first-team All-MWC return specialist all six seasons it has been in the league (Kerley, 2008-10; Brian Bonner, 2006-07; Cory Rodgers, 2005). Kerley, a first-team All-American and one of three finalists for the Paul Hornung Award, also became a 2011 fifthround draft pick of the New York Jets. TCU topped the nation in 2009 in kickoff return average with a 29.2-yard mark. The Horned Frogs led the Mountain West Conference in kickoff and punt returns as they had three special teams touchdowns. Kerley returned two punts for scores and received All-America honors as a return specialist, while Greg McCoy returned a kickoff 81 yards for a touchdown en route to setting a single-season TCU record with a 35.9-yard average. Sharp also coached first-team All-MWC placekicker Evans, who was 15-of-18 on field-goal attempts while setting a single-season TCU record with 61 extra-points made. In 2008, Sharp mentored the freshman kicking duo of Evans

and punter Anson Kelton. Kelton earned All-Mountain West Conference honors as 30 of his 54 punts (55.6 percent) were placed inside the opponent 20 with just seven touchbacks. He had a 41.3 average. Evans made 16-of-20 field goals, including a 50yard effort on his first collegiate attempt. He was the only freshman among the semifinalists for the 2008 Lou Groza Award as the nation’s top placekicker. Sharp coached TCU placekicker and three-time AllMountain West Conference selection Chris Manfredini to a 47-of-54 mark on field goals in three seasons (2005-07). Additionally, punter Derek Wash was an honorablemention All-MWC choice in 2007 with a 42.5 average. Placekicker Nick Browne and punter Joey Biasatti were semifinalists for the Lou Groza and Ray Guy Awards, respectively, during the 2002 campaign. Browne earned All-America honors and was the Conference USA Special Teams Player of the Year in 2003. In the last four seasons, three tight ends (Chad Andrus, Brent Hecht, Shae Reagan) have been inducted into the National Football Foundation’s Hampshire Honor Society for academic excellence. Under Sharp’s leadership, Matt Schobel was the second pick in the third round of the 2002 National Football League draft and the 67th player selected overall. In 2004, Cody McCarty garnered first-team all-league honors. Sharp previously coached at TCU (1991-97) under both Jim Wacker and Pat Sullivan. He mentored the tight ends for five years and handled the defensive ends for two seasons. Before joining the TCU staff on a full-time basis, Sharp served as a graduate assistant under Wacker. Sharp was a tight end on TCU’s 1984 team which went 8-3 and earned a trip to the Bluebonnet Bowl. He had a key touchdown reception in a 32-31 win at Arkansas, the Frogs’ first victory in Fayetteville in 29 years.

In addition to providing outstanding blocking for TCU’s vaunted running game, Sharp earned All-Southwest Conference honors in 1984 as he caught 42 passes for 596 yards and seven touchdowns. He spent two years in the NFL with the Atlanta Falcons before returning to TCU in 1988. He received his bachelor’s degree in secondary education from TCU in 1985 and his master’s in liberal arts in 1992. Sharp and his wife, Cindy, both natives of Boerne, Texas, are the parents of two daughters: Alexandra and Andrea.

Future Frogs Edward and Margaret attend All Saints Episcopal School in Fort Worth.

This growth is the result of Vision in Action, an inclusive major strategic planning effort Dr. Boschini launched soon after becoming TCU’s 10th chancellor. Among the results of Vision in Action have been more than a dozen new facilities and scores of renovations across the campus; a doubling of scholarship dollars awarded to undergraduates; the addition of a substantial number of faculty and instructional positions, including 12 new endowed positions, resulting in smaller classes; and the creation of the John V. Roach Honors College. On any given day, Chancellor Boschini and his wife, Megan, can be found at a variety of events across campus. They also spend considerable time traveling across the state and country, on behalf of TCU. Both have participated in Frog Camps for new students, including Frog Camp London, Frog Camp Roma and Casa Nueva Frog Camp. The Boschinis also frequently host students, alums, and TCU supporters in their home. In addition, the Chancellor teaches one course every academic year, a freshman seminar in the College of Education. Chancellor Boschini is a member of the Board of Directors of the American Council on Education (ACE). Headquartered in Washington, D.C., ACE serves as the largest and primary voice for colleges and universities across the country, both private and public. Previously he served as chair of the National Association of Independent Colleges & Universities (NAICU), also headquartered in Washington, D.C. That organization represents and advocates in Congress for the interests of private colleges and universities across the nation. In both groups, he has focused on maintaining accessibility for all students to higher education – particularly through federal financial aid programs.

USAFA, Colo. - TCU routed Air Force 35-19 Saturday for its 18th straight win in Mountain West play. The Horned Frogs were efficient against Air Force, winning without two of their top players, as tailback Ed Wesley and linebacker Tanner Brock didn’t make the trip due to injury. Wesley’s absence created more opportunities for Matthew Tucker, who scored on a 1-yard leap and a 3-yard run in the first half as TCU built a 21-0 lead. Tucker finished with 95 yards on 16 carries, and Waymon James rushed 13 times for 55 yards and a TD. Kenny Cain replaced Brock at linebacker and was one of three defenders who made his first career start. He had seven tackles and was joined by newcomers Trent Thomas at safety and Kevin White at cornerback in the starting lineup. Tucker’s 1-yard leap made it 14-0 and his second TD run came after Antoine Hicks made a one-handed, 21-yard catch. Quarterback Casey Pachall finished 20 of 25 for 206 yards and two touchdowns. He was almost perfect in the first half, completing his first 11 passes and 16-of-18 overall for 174 yards and a TD.

FORT WORTH - Greg McCoy returned the opening kickoff of the second half 94 yards for a touchdown, and the TCU defense came up with a big play right after that as the 23rd-ranked Horned Frogs took control in a 38-17 victory over ULM. Three plays after McCoy’s sprint up the right sideline in front of the Louisiana-Monroe bench, the Warhawks gave the ball back when Jyruss Edwards fumbled after taking a crushing blow from Stansly Maponga. D.J. Yendrey recovered at the 28, setting up Matthew Tucker’s second TD run, a 1-yarder for a 35-17 lead less than 5 minutes into the second half. Ross Evans kicked a 28-yard field goal with 27 seconds remaining to boost the score to 38-17. The Frogs led 21-17 before McCoy took the second-half kick at the 6, then took one step toward the middle of the field before cutting back toward the sideline. He ran nearly untouched to the end zone, his path completely clear once the kicker was knocked down near midfield. Josh Boyce hauled in seven receptions for a career-best 134 yards, including a 68-yard TD from Casey Pachall in the game’s opening five minutes. Pachall finished 15-of-23 through the air for 204 yards.

FORT WORTH - TCU scored three touchdowns in a span of 1:18 just before halftime and Waymon James ran 65 yards for a score early in the second half as No. 20 TCU beat Portland State, 55-13. James, who finished with 136 yards on 10 carries, added an 82-yard kickoff return for a touchdown in the fourth quarter - the second week in a row the Frogs returned one for a score. Pachall threw a quick pass to Josh Boyce, who caught the ball near the line of scrimmage and turned upfield to find a wide-open lane for a 66-yard touchdown with 1:55 left in the first half that put TCU ahead to stay. On the first play of the second half, James took a handoff to the right and was quickly grabbed by a couple of defenders. They pulled him toward the ground, but James rolled over on top of one of the defenders then spun away and ran to the end zone. Skye Dawson caught eight passes for 111 yards, while Boyce had four catches for 94 yards. Pachall completed 14 of 20 passes for 214 yards and three TDs. Kenny Cain totaled a career-high 13 tackles, while Tank Carder added a 26-yard interception return for a touchdown only seconds after Boyce’s long scoring reception.

FORT WORTH - J.J. McDermott threw a 19-yard touchdown pass to Jeremy Johnson in overtime and SMU recovered from a fourth-quarter collapse for a 40-33 upset of No. 20 TCU. SMU coughed up a 17-point lead in the fourth quarter before McDermott hit Johnson on a deep out route in the end zone for his fourth scoring toss of the game. TCU’s bid to tie ended when a tipped pass from Casey Pachall fell incomplete just past the first-down marker. TCU scored 23 points in the fourth quarter to force overtime. Pachall threw three TD passes and Ross Evans kicked a 29-yard field goal in the period. Pachall’s 4-yard strike to Luke Shivers with 1:16 remaining forced overtime.

FORT WORTH - TCU scored a pair touchdowns in the game’s opening six minutes and posted its first shutout of the season in a 69-0 victory over New Mexico. TCU put together its strongest start of the season that led to a school-record 69 points. The Horned Frogs jumped out to a 20-0 first-quarter lead sparked by a pair of Lobo fumbles. TCU was 6-for6 on red-zone chances in the first half before finishing the game with 22 first downs and a season-high 515 yards of total offense. New Mexico was unable to decipher the Frog defense, mustering only 85 total yards of offense and five first downs while losing three fumbles. TCU once again employed a balanced offensive attack, rushing for 264 yards and passing for 251. The Frogs set school records with 10 touchdowns and nine different players reaching the end zone. Deryck Gildon’s third-quarter blocked punt recovered by Antonio Graves for a TD was TCU’s first blocked punt since 2009.

ARLINGTON, Texas - Casey Pachall threw for two touchdowns and TCU capitalized on two special teams plays to build a big firsthalf lead over BYU during a 38-28 win at Cowboys Stadium. Pachall completed 13-of-23 passes for 147 yards with the two touchdowns and no interceptions, and the TCU defense forced three turnovers, two inside BYU territory. BYU had won five in a row and outgained TCU 218-191 in the first half, but TCU’s defense and special teams helped the Horned Frogs tame the Cougars and shorten the field for four quick drives in the first half. After Pachall hit a wide-open Skye Dawson for a 48-yard TD pass on the second play of the game, a low, rolling snap to BYU punter Riley Stephenson resulted in an illegal kick, and TCU started its second possession with a first-and-goal at BYU’s 4-yard line. Matt Brown came in on the second play of that drive and scrambled up the middle for a 6-yard touchdown and a 14-0 lead just five minutes into the game.

LARAMIE, Wyo. - Ed Wesley rushed for 120 yards and two touchdowns and Waymon James added 181 yards on the ground to lead TCU over Wyoming 31-20. Despite committing five turnovers, including three in the red zone, TCU won its fourth game in a row. The Frogs extended their record Mountain West win streak to 21 games and tied the league record for consecutive conference road wins at 11. Matthew Tucker added 90 yards rushing and two TDs as TCU gained 390 yards on the ground. Casey Pachall completed 17-of-24 passes for 227 yards. Wyoming opened the second half with a 53-yard drive that resulted in a 48-yard field goal by Daniel Sullivan to take a 20-17 edge. But TCU took the lead late in the third quarter with a 10-play, 80-yard drive that ended with Wesley scoring from 4 yards out. The only score in the fourth quarter came on a 4-yard run by Tucker.

BOISE, Idaho - Casey Pachall threw for 473 yards, five TDs and accounted for a pair of two-point conversions to lead No. 24 TCU to a huge road victory over No. 5 Boise State. TCU’s signal caller went 24-of-37 through the air, including a 25-yard scoring pass to Brandon Carter with 1:05 to play that brought TCU to within a point of the Broncos. Frog head coach Gary Patterson opted to go for the 2-point conversion, and Pachall delivered, finding Josh Boyce in the front right corner of the end zone to put the Frogs on top. Boise had one last chance at victory but missed a 39-yard field goal as time expired. Boyce hauled in five receptions for 163 yards and three TDs, while Carter had four for 120 yards and two scores. Pachall’s 473 yards marked the second-most in school history and the most for a quarterback in the Patterson era. Three of his TDs to Boyce and Carter went for 69 yards or more. The win ended Boise’s 65-game regular-season home winning streak and was the team’s first conference home loss since 1998. SCORE BY QUARTERS TCU BOISE STATE

Antoine Hicks, Ed Wesley and Matthew Tucker ran for touchdowns and Tank Carder returned an interception 69 yards for a score. Casey Pachall was 13-of-20 for 117 yards, and Waymon James had 108 yards rushing. Tucker ran for 94 yards and Wesley for 63. Hicks’ 2-yard TD came on his only carry. TCU was outgained in the first half, but still led 13-3 at the break. The Frogs got rolling in the third quarter and were never really threatened while handing the Rams a sixth straight loss.

FORT WORTH - With a perfect ending in the Mountain West, TCU is in position to possibly bust into the BCS again. Greg McCoy returned a kickoff 99 yards and Kris Gardner had a 16-yard interception return for a touchdown in a 12-second span, and the 17th-ranked Horned Frogs beat UNLV 56-9 Saturday to clinch their third consecutive outright and undefeated Mountain West championship. Waymon James, Matthew Tucker and Ed Wesley all ran for touchdowns for TCU (10-2, 7-0 MW), which won its last 24 games in that league before moving to the Big 12 Conference next season. Casey Pachall and Matt Brown both scored on quarterback keepers on the rain-soaked field. TCU has its fourth straight 10-win season under coach Gary Patterson, who is 108-30 in his 11 seasons.

TC U 3, LS U 2 ∙­­­ Jan. 1, 193 6 NEW ORLEANS, La. — Bernie Moore, coach of the LSU foot­ball team, was skep­ti­cal that TCU’s 3 to 2 vic­to­ry in the Sug­ar Bowl game was a con­clu­sive test of the squads. “My con­clu­sion of the game was that the slippery field elim­in ­ at­ed at least 30 percent of the offensive power of both teams,” he said. Dutch Meyer, coach of TCU, said he thought the contest before a capacity crowd of 35,000 was the “finest I’ve ever seen played in the rain.”

19 37 C OT TO N B O W L

DALLAS — With a slingback attack that whipped over a field goal and two touch­downs in the first 25 min­utes of play and with a stur­dy de­fense that piled up the Marquette Golden Av­a­lanche, TCU cap­tured a spectacular football game here this New Year’s Day. The score in the Cotton Bowl classic was 16-6.

Yesterday’s “baseball score” game was a thriller which kept the spectators in their seats despite a slow rain which fell through­out the second half ... LSU scored in the sec­ond quarter after passes and runs brought the ball to the TCU twoinch line where it changed hands on downs. When (Sammy) Baugh at­tempt­ed to pass from behind the goal line he stepped over the end zone, automatically giving LSU a safety for a two-point lead. The Texans came back in the same period to recover a Louisiana fumble on the Lou­i­si­ana 40 and pushed down to the LSU 16. Taldon Manton then kicked a field goal from the Tiger 26. From that point on the game was a battle of mighty defensives.. TCU played most of the game minus the services of three of her brightest stars — Left Halfback George Kline, All-American Cen­ter Darrell Lester and Halfback Rex Clark ... Clark played only one down and that was by the cour­te­sy of Coach Meyer who wanted the injured senior star to be able to say he played in the 1936 Sugar Bowl game ... Baugh made the longest run of the day — a 44-yard gallop.

So sudden, sharp and dazzling was the sweep of action of the battle that 15,000 spec­ta­tors, who braved threat­en­ing weather, forgot the gray gloom of the afternoon. Led by Sammy Baugh, who out-passed and outplayed “Buzz” Buivid to cinch his claim to the title of the greatest passer of the season, the Texans uncorked an offense that flared into long gains both on the ground and in the air. Although it was Baugh who paced the attack and won the attention of the crowd, it was L.D. Meyer who did the real damage.. He scored all of TCU’s 16 points. He kicked a 33-yard field goal for the first three points in the opening minutes. Before the first quarter had ended, Meyer col­lab­o­rat­ed with Sambo on a 55-yard pass-and-run gain for the first Frog TD, and in the second quarter he took an 18-yard heave from Vic Mont­gom­ ery for the last score. Meyer even converted after the first touchdown. A 60-yard punt return by Art Guepe in the first quarter accounted for all of Marquette’s points. – Fort Worth Star-Telegram

NEW ORLEANS, La. — It was with pow­er, passes and kick­ing that the Chris­tians made the two touch­downs and one field goal that en­abled them to win, 15-7. Carnegie’s most consis­tent method of at­tack was a bristling, quick-start­ing and hard-hitting offense, but it was with a brilliant 38-yard pass in the last seconds of the first half that the Skibos scored ... The second half started with the Pittsburghers lead­ing, 7-6. The first time they got possession of the hoghide, the Frogs proved irresistible. Moving with giant strides, they went 80 yards and a touchdown on five plays. TCU punted one time. That fact alone indicates ac­cu­rate­ly how fearfully effective was the ground-gain­ing ma­neu­vers of the big white-shirted representatives ... The one punt figured in making TCU’s first touchdown ... When the Skibos punted out, the TCU regulars took over and went 48 yards on 11 plays to take a 6-0 lead ... Carnegie took the next kickoff and went to town with big, fast and tough George Muha doing most of the dirty work ... Earl Clark in­ter­cept­ed a pass and ran 25 yards to the Carnegie 35 yard-line, but Durward Horner, a TCU end, had been offsides so the play was called back ... It was on fourth down of this series of plays that Petey Moroz cut loose with his long fine pass for the Carnegie touchdown ... The third quar­ter (Davey) O’Brien passed to Horner down the middle ... The end caught the ball between two Skibos, but evaded both of them and ran 24 yards across the goal line.

The score mounted to 40-7 with only a few minutes played in the second half. But the Frogs are not quitters ... Everything was against them. They couldn’t hold the enemy, they couldn’t move them­selves and they were battered and weary from their empty-handed efforts. But there was too much tradition behind those purple shirts. Sud­ den­ly, almost as if a fresh wind had blown into the stadium, the tide turned. They knocked over three touch­downs in rapid order. They turned back every Georgia thrust. The great come­back in the last 25 minutes saved the Frogs from humiliation. Bruce Alford was the Frog star ... He blocked a punt, he made two great catches for touch­downs... After the rest period, Texas sup­port­ers hoped for a rally. But Georgia stepped out and banged 80 yards for still another touchdown that promised to make it a rout ... From that moment to the final gun it was the Bulldogs who held on and the Frogs who ripped. – Fort Worth Star-Tele­gram

The Frogs moved on the ground sev­er­al times when in their own territory, but after cross­ing the 50-yard line they were always thwarted by the bulling tactics of the burly Cowboy line ... Only once did the Frogs get inside the A&M 35-yard line and that was on a pass in­ter­cep­tion. Bob Ruff was the only TCU back who was able to gain with any consistency, although Jesse Mason did some good work for a short time. Coach Dutch Meyer tried all kinds of defenses against the Aggies, including a seven-man line which moved fullback Cox into the line. None of them worked for more than a few minutes at a time. The Aggies were too good in too many different ways.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Trail­ ing a hard-trying TCU team by nine points, the great Charley Conerly sud­den­ly soared to the dra­mat­ic heights of foot­ball throw­ ing expected of him. In just five min­utes his rifle arm ac­count­ed for two touch­ downs as the Con­fed­er­ates bested the Chris­tians, 13-9, in the first Delta Bowl game. In the closing minutes of the third period, Conerly launched a passing flurry that carried exactly 80 yards in eight plays ... The Frogs, still going strong, marched right back to the Rebel 37 where an intercepted pass sat Conerly up in business again. This time he threw only two passes...and they ate up just 63 yards to win the ball game. In more ways than one, it was a tough game for the Frogs to lose... But they fumbled badly, losing the ball twice at crucial moments. There were nine minutes yet to play and the Frogs gave the enemy fans a heart attack by holding the leather. Just six of them from their one-yard line, where Otis Kelvey was dropped on the kickoff, the Chris­tians powered right up field for 59 yards... But the last threat died when Knox’s pass was batted up and intercepted by the Ole Miss linebacker on the Reb 38. – Fort Worth Star-Tele­gram

Except for the second quarter when they staved off repeated threats, the Frogs were never able to cope with the doublepronged attack ... The first touch­down, scored in the fifth minute, climaxed a 59yard advance. The second whirled 61 yards, the third 62 yards, the fourth 40 yards and the fifth 66 yards .

Kentuck y 20, TC U 7 ∙­­­ Jan. 1, 19 52 DALLAS — TCU, dis­tress­ ing­ly flat except for one mag­nif­i­cent minute-andhalf surge late in the third quarter, suc­ceed­ed only in making it a mas­terpiece of frustration. And so the four-times-beat­en Wild­cats from the Blue­grass State thor­ough­ly trounced the South­west Con­fer­ ence cham­pi­ons before a capacity throng of 75,349 ... 20-7. Ken­tucky scored on two surges of 52 and 57 yards in the first and second quarters to post its 13-0 halftime lead.

DALLAS — The Uni­ver­si­ty of Mis­sis­sip­pi Rebels, cham­ pi­ons of the South­east­ern Con­fer­ence, spot­ted the TCU Horned Frogs, cham­ pi­ons of the South­west Con­fer­ence, 13 points in the 20th annual Cotton Bowl football game be­fore 75,000 spectators here this warm and sun­ny Mon­day af­ter­noon and then swung back to win by the margin of a single point, 14-13 ... (TCU) ac­tu­al­ly lost the game for being in motion on a conversion effort.

Frogs, who had bogged down once on the four, wasted another 59-yard push to the 24 early in the second quarter. Here, Clark in­ter­cept­ed a Mal Fowler pass returned to the Kentucky 43 and the Wildcats tromped on from here for 57 yards and another touch­down in 11 plays ... TCU made its 48-yard move to the five after this and came back later in the quarter with its 51-yard march to the one all for nothing ... (Gilbert) Bartosh drew his first chance of the game ... Here Bartosh called a direct snap — back Bobby Jack Floyd went 43 yards for touchdown on the longest run of the day. Against the wind in the fourth Bartosh guided the Frogs 40 yards ... The TCU com­mand sent in McKown to punt and he obliged with his neat kick-out on the 8. But here, where holding ’em was imperative for TCU, Tom Fillion broke loose for 17 yards on a third-down-seven-to-go-play ... Ken­tucky held the ball, put TCU in the hole with the kick and Bartosh was spilled for losses.

They made the 14th point on the first try, but because a player was in motion, they had to try again from five yards farther back, and missed. They probably lost the game on the opening kickoff when quarterback Chuck Curtis made the mistake of re­ceiv­ing and run­ning with the ball. He was so badly injured when tackled that he never returned to action ... In spite of the handicap, the Horned Frogs scored a touch­down in the first quarter and count­ed in the second to lead 13-0 before the Rebels got their first touchdown to make it 13-7 at the half ... Mississippi won the game in the 11th minute of the fourth quarter ... Billy Lott scored on a fiveyard gallop around his right wing. The Rebs’ winning move traveled exactly the same distance as their first touchdown pa­rade: 66 yards ... The Frogs went 44 and 75 yards for their touch­downs. – Fort Worth Star-Telegram

TC U 28, Syracuse 27 ∙­­­ Jan. 1, 19 57 DALLAS — Harold Pollard’s four-for-four con­ver­sions and the block­ing of Syr­ a­cuse’s third point-af­tertouch­down at­tempt by (Chico) Mendoza pro­duced a 28-27 Cotton Bowl victory for TCU after 18 years of wait­ing. The Frogs had dropped five suc­ces­sive bowl ap­pear­anc­es and had not recorded a post-season triumph since 1939. It was a moving of­fen­sive show all the way with the TCU passing providing a balance Syracuse couldn’t stop and the Saltine Warriors riding pow­er­ful­ly on a running game spear­head­ed by the All-America halfback, Jim Brown. He gained 132 yards and was voted the game’s out­stand­ ing back. The Frogs’ All-American tackle, Norman Hamilton, was the one defender who came nearest to stop­ping Brown con­sis­tent­ly and he was chosen as the game’s out­stand­ing lineman. Syr­a­cuse scored in the last two min­utes to give the game its touch of such hair-breadth close­ness. For much of the afternoon it was TCU’s game and a couple of times seemed on the verge of turning decisive. There was a unique twist to the first-half scoring in that each team intercepted passes and then drove 70 yards to score and each recovered fumbles and pushed out short yardage for the second touchdowns. – Fort Worth Star-Telegram

DALLAS — The gen­ tle­men operating the scoreboard had the easiest occupation in all land as the South­west Con­fer­ence champions (TCU) and the future gen­er­als (Air Force Academy) from Col­o­rado Springs played the sec­ ond 0-0 dead­lock in the 23-year history of the New Year’s Day clas­sic ... It was the fourth tie game ever unreeled before a Cotton Bowl assemblage ... It was a dis­ap­point­ing final for both clubs. The Horned Frogs took the field bearing an 8-2 record. The Falcons were unbeaten in 10 games and had their season immaculate but for a tie with Iowa. The Frogs fum­bled the ball on eight occasions and on three of these wasted possession. One of these came early in the final period and surely tried the composure of Coach Abe Martin as he saw the Falcons reclaim a bobble just eight steps from the Air Force Academy’s end zone.

HOUSTON — The Frogs were drowned, 23-7, by a dead­ly sprin­kle of Clemson pass­es in a sev­en-minute pe­ri­od of the final quarter ... The sud­den Clemson scor­ing flood washed away a 7-3 lead TCU carried into the fatal final period. A narrow margin, but one that, at the time, appeared enough to send the luckless Tigers down to their fourth straight bowl defeat ... Neither team had threat­ened se­ri­ous­ly after Clemson’s second quar­ter 22-yard field goal by Lon Armstrong, and TCU’s lone touch­ down, a 19-yard pass from Jack Redding to Harry Moreland with 5:45 left in the first half. Clemson had completed only one gaining pass all af­ter­noon, that a 5-yard throw from Tiger quar­ter­back Harvey White.

The field, covered by tarpaulin during the snow fall earlier in the week, was damp and contributed to the uneasy handling of the ball. The visiting Falcons also had difficulty retaining the sphere and lost control on three of their five fumbles. Jack Spikes attempted both of TCU’s field goals, the first early in the opening period ... The Airmen offered their severest threat midway of the second quarter ... It was here that the Frog line gave its best performance, restraining the Silver and Blue on the six, the spot from where George Pupich missed a field goal.

White must have spotted the silver lining in the gath­er­ing dark­ness for Tiger hopes. He took plenty of time behind the mam­moth line and arched a long, high shot toward right end Gary Barnes, racing past TCU’s Larry Dawson at the Frog 35. Armstrong added the extra point ... Two plays after the kickoff, Armstrong las­soed a pass from TCU quar­ter­back Donald George ... From there, Lowndes Shingler, over­whelm­ing­ly voted out­stand­ing back, came back to guide the Tigers for the final slap on the cheek to a proud TCU team which had gained wide respect as the class of the Southwest Con­fer­ence, winning seven games to finish in a 3-way tie for the title. – The Dallas Morning News

Texas Western 13, TC U 12 ∙­­­ Dec. 19, 19 6 5 EL PASO, Texas. — The Min­ers sulked off the field with a 10-point deficit at the in­ter­mis­sion, but then pumped up Billy Stevens’ arm and Joe Cook’s foot and even­tu­al­ly de­flat­ed the Frogs, 13-12. Stevens, who gained sec­ond rank among the nation’s passers this season, proved his stardom to TCU by racking up 208 yards on 21 pass completions, the most ever against an Abe Martin team. The skinny sophomore had only seven strikes in the first half as the ball-con­trol­ling Frogs rammed into a 10-0 lead. Stevens made the 31st annual post season game a vastly different story in the second half. Stevens shot a 34-yard touchdown pass to 165-pound flanker Chuck Hughes and a star­tling comeback was be­gun ... The Miners drove 70 yards for a tying 21-yard field goal by Cook... Texas Western, a raging de­fen­sive team by this time, hopped on a TCU fumble at the Frog 29. Cook kicked an 18-yard three-pointer FG four plays deep in the final period to boot the Miners into a 13-10 cushion. TCU’s final two points were a gift. With 43 seconds left in the game ... The Miner quarterback raced back in his end zone for a safety ... The Frogs got their last chance. They could get only eight yards before the clock ran out. Although Stevens won the great air race in the end, TCU’s senior quar­ter­back, Kent Nix got a head start. David Smith hauling in Nix’s 11-yard pass for the score ... The Frogs had another scoring op­por­tu­ni­ty in the first period ... (Bruce) Alford missed a kick from the 28. – Fort Worth Star-Tele­gram

HOUSTON — What had promise of being the ex­cit­ing fin­ish to an “unbelievable” season turned clos­er to a nightmare ... at least un­til TCU’s dramatic, fourthquarter come­back restored some de­gree of re­spect to the out­come in the 25th edition of the Blue­bo ­ n­net Bowl. The final score was West Virginia 31, TCU 14. But for the Horned Frogs there were lots of dips and swerves along the way. For starters, a 21-point West Virginia blitz during a 14-minute span of the first half had some­what of a sobering effect on the Purples. So did the loss of All-American running back Kenneth Davis, to a knee injury, in the early moments of the postseason classic.

SHREVEPORT, La. — A de­cade slipped by before TCU’s Horned Frogs re­sur­ faced from obliv­i­on into the post-season... The Frogs most­ly slipped however, as they trudged and muddied them­selves on the rain-drenched field of In­de­ pen­dence Stadium... Some 27,242 fans – a ma­jor­i­ty of them TCU sup­port­ers – withstood the temp­tation to stay home ... The view be­came pains­tak­ing­ly clear no mat­ter the van­tage point ... Vir­gin­ia proved too good for these up­start Frogs and captured its first bowl tri­umph in five attempts since 1987 with the 20-10 victory ... “We can’t use the field as an excuse in any way,” TCU coach Pat Sullivan said. “I couldn’t be more proud of our foot­ball team, but we weren’t quite good enough in a couple of ways.”

West Virginia 31, TC U 14 ∙­­­ Dec. 31, 19 84

After being shoved up and down the field by the Mountaineers’ offense (355 yards), while countering with little punch themselves (148 yards) during the first 30 minutes, the Horned Frogs did make a contest of it after the in­ter­mis­sion, scoring the only touchdown of the second half while mount­ ing a couple of other drives which nearly resulted in points. Much of TCU’s second half turnaround was due to the passing arm of senior Anthony Gulley who finished with 150 yards passing in­clud­ing TD tosses to Dan Sharp and Keith Burnett. Senior re­ceiv­er James Maness caught five passes for 90 yards but was no match sta­tis­tical­ly for the six-catch, 152-yard performance of WVU light­ning bug. -Associated Press

The 15th-ranked Cav­a­liers (9-3) dom­i­nat­ed at the point of attack, where so many games will be won or lost ... The Frogs and their South­west Con­fer­ence-leading offense, which av­er­aged 411.6 yards per game dur­ing the regular season, sus­tained nothing on this chilly, wet night. Vir­gin­ia, which en­tered the con­test with the na­tion’s No. 1-ranked defensive unit against the run, surrendered only 191 yards and 11 first downs to the Frogs. The running of junior tailback Andre Davis, who rushed for 97 yards on 24 carries, failed to provide enough offense on a night when (quarterback Max) Knake struggled. “The truth of it is I played terrible,” said Knake. “If I could have played better, there may have been a different outcome.” -Associated Press

TC U 28, U S C 19 ∙­­­ Dec. 31, 19 9 8 EL PASO, Texas — With only six wins, many thought TCU was not worthy of a bowl appearance. But, the Horned Frogs proved their critics wrong in a big way. Basil Mitchell rushed for 185 yards and two touchdowns on only 19 carries as TCU earned its first bowl victory in 41 years with a 28-19 win over USC in the 65th Sun Bowl. Quarterback Patrick Batteaux added 94 yards and two scores for TCU, which recorded its first post-season win since defeating Syracuse in the 1957 Cotton Bowl. TCU (7-5) dominated the line of scrimmage, rushing for 314 yards while holding USC to a Sun Bowl record minus-23, breaking by two yards the mark set by Florida State in 1951. The Trojans (8-5) also posted the lowest rushing total in school history, eclipsing the previous record of minus-11 yards against Iowa in 1976. Mitchell fell just short of Charles Alexander’s Sun Bowl rushing record of 197 yards. He opened the scoring with a three-yard run 7:07 into the first quarter. True freshman Carson Palmer completed 17-of-28 passes for a season-best 280 yards to rally USC. The Horned Frogs put away the game by chewing more than six minutes off the clock before pinning USC inside its 15 with less than two minutes remaining. -gofrogs.com

TC U 28, East Carolina 14 ∙­­­ Dec. 22, 19 9 9 MOBILE, Ala. — LaDainian Tomlinson ran for 124 yards and two touchdowns to lead TCU to a 28-14 victory over No. 20 East Carolina in the inaugural Mobile Alabama Bowl.

2000 M O B I L E ALABAMA BOWL

Southern Miss 28, TC U 21 ∙­­­ Dec. 20, 2000 MOBILE, Ala. — Jeff Kelly’s 28-yard touchdown pass to freshman Kenny Johnson with eight seconds left lifted Southern Miss to a 28-21 victory over No. 13 TCU in the Mobile Alabama Bowl.

It was the second consecutive bowl upset for TCU (8-4). East Carolina (9-3) entered the game as six-point favorites. That didn’t bother the Horned Frogs, who completely shut down the Pirates’ running game, holding them to minus-16 yards.

The Aggies (8-4) beat their former Southwest Conference rivals for the 24th straight time.

East Carolina went into the game focusing on stopping Tomlinson, whose 1,850 yards edged Heisman Trophy winner Ron Dayne for the NCAA Division I rushing title.

Southern Miss (8-4) got a second chance after a fourth missed field goal, and trusted their senior quarterback instead of the shaky kicking game.

TCU, which alternated between quarterbacks Casey Printers and Patrick Batteaux, made it impossible for the Pirates to adjust.

With 33 seconds left, they took over at the TCU 43-yard line after Mobile native Etric Pruitt got a hand on John Braziel’s punt. Kelly threw two incompletions, then scrambled 14 yards for a first down. On the next play, he lofted a perfect strike over the middle just above safety LaVar Veale’s outstretched arm, victimizing the nation’s top defense.

East Carolina, which couldn’t run the ball at all against TCU, had to go to the air in the second half. It initially worked, but early in the fourth quarter, Russell Gary intercepted Garrard’s pass and returned it 32 yards for a touchdown. That gave TCU a 28-14 lead with 14:04 to play. – Associated Press

The Horned Frogs (10-2) endured a December coaching change and uncertainty over who would lead them into the game. In the end, former defensive coordinator Gary Patterson replaced Dennis Franchione on the sidelines. Franchione left for Alabama Dec. 1 and was initially expected to coach the bowl game. TCU officials decided late last week to allow the Patterson era to begin a season early. -gofrogs.com

Weber, voted offensive player of the game, broke a 7-7 second-quarter tie with a 2-yard touchdown run and added a 14-yard run that put the Aggies in control with 1:14 left in the third quarter. TCU’s Casey Printers was intercepted four times. Jones earned MVP honors and also was the defensive player of the game with three tackles. Starting in place of injured Sean Weston, Jones had only two broken-up passes on his defensive chart in 11 games before he returned his first interception 62 yards in the first quarter to the Frog 35. The Aggies couldn’t score on that chance but Jones had a 15yard interception to the TCU 1-yard line in the second quarter, setting up Mark Farris’ quarterback keeper for the score. Charlie Owens scooped up a fumble by A&M running back Derek Farmer and returned it 89 yards for a TCU touchdown with four minutes left in the half for a 7-7 tie. It was the second longest fumble return in school history. -gofrogs.com

HOUSTON — Byron Jones intercepted three passes in his first start and Joe Weber scored two touchdowns, helping Texas A&M end a four-game bowl losing streak with a 28-9 victory over TCU (6-6) in the galleryfurniture .com Bowl.

In the first major bowl game of the season, TCU tailback LaDainian Tomlinson ran for 118 yards, his lowest total of the season. The Heisman Trophy finalist carried 28 times and scored two TDs in the third quarter.

Early in the first quarter, Printers gained seven yards on an option run to move TCU to the 2. Batteaux came in on the next play and pitched the ball to Tomlinson, who ran in for the touchdown. That tied the game at 7 and TCU slowly pulled away from there.

TC U 17, Colorado St ate 3 ∙­­­ Dec. 31, 2002 MEMPHIS, Tenn. — TCU figured out how to stop Colorado State standout Cecil Sapp after just two runs in the Liberty Bowl.

20 0 3 P L A I N S C A P I TA L F O RT W O RT H B O W L

Boise St ate 34, TC U 31 ∙­­­ Dec. 22, 2003 FORT WORTH — Ryan Dinwiddie, who ended his career as the most efficient passer in college football, threw for 325 yards and three touchdowns to lead the No. 18 Broncos (13-1) to a 34-31 win Tuesday night over No. 19 TCU in the inaugural Fort Worth Bowl.

Sapp reeled off big gains of 59 and 25 yards on the Rams’ first two possessions, but had 22 yards the rest of the game, and TCU tailback Ricky Madison stole the show with 111 yards rushing and a touchdown as the Horned Frogs beat No. 23 Colorado State 17-3 Tuesday. It was the Horned Frogs’ 500th victory in school history. Madison ran for 107 of his yards in the rainy second half as TCU’s offense came alive after a sloppy opening by both teams. In the first half, the teams combined for three lost fumbles, two interceptions, a missed field goal and an unsuccessful faked field goal. Their sloppy play made for the lowest scoring first half of a Liberty Bowl since Penn State led Tulane 6-0 in 1979. TCU (10-2) finally put together a seven-play, 62-yard scoring drive led by Lonta Hobbs in the closing minutes of the second quarter. The freshman ran for 39 yards in the drive, capped when Sean Stilley threw a 15-yard touchdown pass to LaTarence Dunbar with 1:21 remaining to put TCU up 7-0 at the break.

Their bowl win on TCU’s campus wasn’t secured until sophomore Mike Wynn was well short on a 51-yard field goal attempt, the first kick in his college career, with 7 seconds left.

The TCU defense forced four Iowa State turnovers and Robert Merrill reached the century mark in rushing yards for the 10th time in his career as he ran for 109 yards on 11 carries with a touchdown to help lead the Frogs to the win.

TCU (11-2) had its school-record 13-game home winning streak snapped. The Frogs had been in contention for a Bowl Championship Series spot until their only regular-season loss Nov. 20 and then turned down an invitation to last week’s GMAC Bowl because it conflicted with exams.

TCU scored on its opening two possessions for a 14-0 lead just 6:36 into the contest. The two touchdowns came in a 1:55 span. The Horned Frogs took the opening kickoff and drove 80 yards in 12 plays, capped by a 20-yard Merrill touchdown run.

Dinwiddie hit 19 of 35 passes with two interceptions, but his last touchdown was an 18-yarder to Derek Schouman for the winning score with 12:43 left.

On the second play of Iowa State’s ensuing possession, Jeremy Modkins forced a fumble that was recovered by Drew Coleman, giving the Frogs possession at the Cyclone 21. Three plays later, an Aaron Brown 7-yard scoring run extended TCU’s lead to 14-0.

“I thought we beat them on both sides of the football. Three big plays beat us,” TCU coach Gary Patterson said. “There’s a reason they’ve won a lot of games.” – Associated Press

SAN DIEGO — Penned in by a bunch of tough Horned Frogs, Garrett Wolfe had nowhere to run.

HOUSTON — Justin Watts had scored exactly one touchdown in his career at TCU before the Texas Bowl.

The national rushing leader was held to 28 yards, a whopping 130 below his average, and No. 25 TCU won a Poinsettia Bowl mismatch against Northern Illinois 37-7.

TD No. 2 marked the goahead touchdown early in the fourth quarter to help TCU to a 20-13 win over Houston.

While Wolfe was repeatedly stuffed by one of the nation’s best defenses, led by end Tommy Blake, Horned Frogs quarterback Jeff Ballard ran for three touchdowns and threw for another. Ballard looked like more of a running back as he scored on runs of 10, 1 and 6 yards. He threw a 6-yard TD pass to tight end Brent Hecht and finished with 258 passing yards. TCU’s Lonta Hobbs rushed for 114 yards and one TD. Wolfe came in leading the nation with an average of 158.3 yards rushing and 178.9 all-purpose yards. The Horned Frogs, though, were fourth nationally in run defense after allowing only 67.6 yards per game. TCU kept alive its string of not allowing a 100-yard rusher, one of only four teams to do so this year. Wolfe, who carried 20 times, came dangerously close to his career-low of 24 yards set in his first game, the 2004 season opener. The Huskies had only five first downs and 60 yards of total offense, compared to 23 first downs and 456 yards for TCU. – Associated Press

#11 TCU 17, #9 Boise State 16 ­­­∙ Dec. 23, 2008 SAN DIEGO — Joseph Turner dove into the end zone for the winning score, and LaDainian Tomlinson went nuts on the sideline.

The junior wove through the defense and danced into the end zone for an 8-yard touchdown run that made it 17-10 and gave TCU (8-5) its first lead of the game against its old Southwest Conference rival. He and Ryan Christian split carries against Houston (8-5) after starter Joseph Turner injured his knee in the first quarter and didn’t return. Quarterback Andy Dalton also ran for a touchdown for TCU. Dalton was 21-of-30 for 249 yards with one interception. Watts and Christian combined for 88 yards rushing on 12 carries. A 15-yard leaping reception by Jimmy Young on third down kept the drive that ended in Watts’ touchdown going. Young outjumped Carson Blackmon to grab the ball and managed to keep his left leg in bounds as he landed. It was initially ruled an incomplete pass, but the call was overturned after a review by officials. The Cougars had a chance to tie it with less than 30 seconds to play but Case Keenum’s pass sailed just beyond the fingertips of Jeron Harvey in the end zone. He had two more shots at the end zone, but the ball fell short on the first one and Chase Ortiz hit him as he threw the second one to end the game.

Turner’s 17-yard run midway through the fourth quarter gave the No. 11 Horned Frogs their first lead of the night, during a 17-16 victory over No. 9 and previously undefeated Boise State in the Poinsettia Bowl. BSU was trying to finish 13-0 for the second time in three seasons. The Broncos took a 10-0 lead on Ian Johnson’s 20yard touchdown run midway through the first quarter, but their high-scoring offense bogged down against TCU’s fast, aggressive defense. TCU piled up yards if not points until finally wearing down the Broncos’ defense in the fourth quarter. The Horned Frogs moved 80 yards in 10 plays on the winning drive, with Turner finishing it off by shedding a tackle inside the 5-yard line and diving into the end zone for a 17-13 lead. After Turner’s TD, Boise State got to the TCU 14 before having to settle for Kyle Brotzman’s 33-yard field goal to pull to 17-16. The Broncos got the ball back with 6 seconds left on their 33 and tried to lateral the ball after a catch, but Jeremy Childs’ desperation flip was grabbed by TCU’s Matt Panfil. TCU outgained Boise State 472 yards to 250. – Associated Press

PHOENIX, Ariz. — Boise State reached into its bag of tricks again and stunned TCU in a Fiesta Bowl duel of unbeaten BCS busters. It was the first time two schools from leagues without automatic BCS bids have met in one of college football’s biggest bowls.

PASADENA, Calif. — Andy Dalton threw a touchdown pass and ran for a score, linebacker Tank Carder swatted down a 2-point conversion pass attempt with 2 minutes to play, and No. 3 TCU completed a perfect season with its first Rose Bowl victory, 21-19 over fourth-ranked Wisconsin on Saturday.

After the Broncos pulled off a gutsy fake punt at their own 33-yard line, Doug Martin scored the decisive touchdown to give No. 6 Boise State a 17-10 victory over third-ranked TCU. A 10-10 stalemate came alive when punter Kyle Brotzman hit wide-open Kyle Efaw with a 30-yard strike with about 9 minutes to play. Four plays later, Martin dove over a tackler from 2 yards out as the Broncos became the second school ever to go 14-0, joining Ohio State in 2002. The Broncos caught the Horned Frogs napping on the fake punt by Brotzman. Kellen Moore then completed three straight passes to advance to the 2, and Martin scored to put Boise State up 17-10 with 7:21 to go. TCU took over at its own 1 with 1:06 remaining and marched to the Boise State 30 before cornerback Brandyn Thompson disrupted a pass by Andy Dalton, and Winston Venable picked it off to end the threat. Thompson set up the winning drive with his second interception of the game. He returned his first pick 51 yards for the game’s first score. TCU’s touchdown came on a 30-yard pass from Dalton to Curtis Clay that pulled the Frogs to within 10-7 at halftime. – Associated Press

Bart Johnson caught an early TD pass and recovered a late onside kick for the Mountain West champion Horned Frogs (13-0), who followed up their second straight unbeaten regular season by busting the BCS in dramatic fashion. Dalton passed for 219 yards for TCU, which won’t win the national title - that will go to either Auburn or Oregon. They meet in the BCS championship game in nine days. Luke Shivers’ 1-yard TD run put TCU ahead 21-13 early in the third quarter, but neither team scored again until Wisconsin mounted a 77-drive in the waning minutes. Montee Ball rushed for a 4-yard score with 2 minutes to play, but Carder made a perfectly timed leap at the line to bat down Scott Tolzien’s throw to the end zone. The intended receiver was open in the end zone. Dalton went 15 for 23 and rushed for a first-quarter score, winning the game’s offensive MVP award. But the defense deserved the credit for hanging on when TCU couldn’t score in the game’s final 26 minutes. Carder was the leader all game and the man at the end. – Associated Press
