Texas Twist
Facing a TCU team filled with Texas products, BYU received nice contributions from some Texas natives. Michael Reed and McKay Jacobson combined for seven catches, and David Nixon caused a critical fumble.
Unfamiliar position
In falling behind by 10 points in the second quarter, TCU faced its biggest deficit since trailing BYU by 18 points last September in Provo.
Streak ends
BYU's defense went nearly six quarters without allowing a point before TCU's Chris Manfredini kicked a field goal with four seconds remaining in the first half.
More efficient
After playing for 4 hours, 42 minutes last season, the Cougars and Horned Frogs completed Thursday's contest in 3:08.
