GAME NOTES

ABOUT THE GAME

• TCU returns to the road to face Texas on Saturday at 6:30 p.m. on ABC.
• TCU is one of just four undefeated teams nationally and alone atop the Big 12 standings with a 6-0 conference record. Four of the wins are against teams they lost to by at least two scores last season, including three by at least three scores.
• TCU is 9-0 for the first time since 2010, when it went 13-0 and won the Rose Bowl.
• ESPN’s College GameDay will be on site. The Horned Frogs are 7-1 all-time when College GameDay has been present for its game, including a 6-0 record when it has been played on a campus. This is TCU’s second game featured on College GameDay this season as the show was also at Kansas.
• TCU’s Sonny Dykes is the first head football coach in Big 12 history to be 9-0 in his first season.
• Dykes is just the second head coach in TCU history, joining Francis Schmidt in 1929, to win his opening nine games. The 1929 Horned Frogs finished the season 9-0-1.
• At No. 4 in the Associated Press poll, TCU has its highest ranking since it was No. 4 in 2017 when Dykes was on staff as an offensive analyst.
• Since beginning Big 12 play in 2012, TCU is 7-3 against Texas with a 4-1 mark in Austin. 4TCU already has five more wins than it had all of last season. Only Tulane (+6) has a bigger improvement.

• TCU’s four wins this season over ranked opponents is second nationally, trailing only Tennessee’s five. 4The Horned Frogs are just the third team since 1960 (Stanford, 2012; Iowa, 1960) to win four consecutive games over ranked opponents in a calendar month.
• TCU’s four consecutive games with a win over a ranked opponent ties for first nationally since 1996. The Horned Frogs are the only Big 12 team to accomplish the feat in the regular season.
• Since 1996, TCU is one of just two teams nationally to rally from deficits of at least 17 points to beat AP Top 25 teams in consecutive games.
• The Horned Frogs lead the nation with 14 touchdowns of at least 50 yards.
