GAME NOTES

ABOUT THE GAME

  • No. 13 TCU returns home to host No. 8 Oklahoma State on Saturday at 2:30 p.m. on ABC.
  • TCU is the only undefeated FBS program, out of 12, in the state of Texas and one of 15 nationally.
  • The Horned Frogs are 5-0 for the first time since 2017, when Head Coach Sonny Dykes was on staff as an offensive analyst.
  • Dykes is just the second head coach in program history, joining Francis Schmidt in 1929, to win his opening five games.
  • Including his time at SMU, Dykes has his team with a 5-0 record for the fourth consecutive season.
  • At No. 13 in this week’s Associated Press poll, the Horned Frogs have their highest ranking since finishing the 2017 season at No. 9. Dykes was on staff that year as an offensive analyst.
  • Saturday will mark TCU’s first home game as a ranked team against a ranked opponent since Oct. 7, 2017, when the No. 8 Horned Frogs beat No. 23 West Virginia, 31-24, with ESPN’s College GameDay on site.
  • TCU is playing a ranked opponent for a third consecutive game for the first time since the final three contests in 2015, when it lost 30-29 at No. 7 Oklahoma before beating No. 7 Baylor 28-21 in double overtime and No. 15 Oregon 47-41 in triple OT in the Alamo Bowl.
  • TCU has trailed for a total of just 16:31 this season. The Horned Frogs fell behind Kansas for 1:07 in the third quarter last week, their first deficit since the opening 24 seconds of the second quarter of the season opener at Colorado.
  • TCU leads the nation in yards per play (8.1) while ranking third in both scoring offense (46.4 points per game) and total offense (530.0 yards per game).

SERIES HISTORY

  • Oklahoma State holds a 17-13-2 edge in the alltime series with TCU.
  • The Horned Frogs have won three of the last five games with the Cowboys and are 4-4 in the past eight.
  • TCU is 8-5-2 versus Oklahoma State in Fort Worth, 4-10 in Stillwater, 1-1 in a pair of meetings (1943, 1946) in Oklahoma City and 0-1 in Dallas (1945 Cotton Bowl).

FAMILIAR FACE

  • TCU Inside Receivers Coach Doug Meacham was a three-year starter (1985-87) on the Cowboys’ offensive line. He earned All-Big Eight honors, was a Team Captain and Honorable Mention All-American as a senior. Meacham blocked for 1988 Heisman Trophy winner Barry Sanders and two-time Big Eight Player of the Year Thurman Thomas.
  • Meacham was teammates with Oklahoma State Head Coach Mike Gundy for two seasons (1986-87) and coached under him from 2005-12.
