A 70-yard run from true freshman Darius Anderson was the dagger TCU needed to end Charlie Strong’s career and become bowl eligible.
It was TCU’s fourth rushing touchdown of the day. TCU gained 475 yards on offense en route to thumping Texas 31-9, with 297 coming on the ground. Anderson led TCU rushers with 103 yards and a touchdown on three carries.
TCU led 7-6 at the half, and everyone was curious about how stagnant both offenses had been. TCU went on a 13-play, 79-yard drive to open the third quarter that resulted in a field goal to put TCU up 10-6.
