Pretty positive spin on the game from last night.
In the end, the Horned Frogs rode off with a victory low in style points but heavy in grit. And knowing they can squeeze out a difficult road game when the offense is not zipping by people may prove beneficial down the road.
If participation in the College Football Playoff relied on a one-game audition in early September, well, even then a reasonable appraisal of TCU would be a favorable one. The defense lost six starters and was without the services of two others due to injury, and it effectively controlled the game anyway.
