It wasn’t the regular season finale the Texas seniors or Charlie Strong envisioned…
Fifth ranked TCU and Heisman candidate Trevone Boykin handled the Longhorns easily on Thanksgiving night 48-10.
Tyrone Swoopes threw four interceptions and Malcolm Brown and Johnathan Gray averaged only a combined 2.1 yards per carry. A Nick Rose 47 yard field goal and a big play by Armanti Foreman were the lone scores on the night for the Longhorns. The Texas offense had a tough time getting things going…
Boykin was pressured all night by the Texas defense but managed to throw for 233 yards and two touchdowns. TCU running back Aaron Green led all rushers with 73 yards on 16 carries.
The Horned Frogs out-gained the Longhorns in total yards 368-290.
Senior wide receiver John Harris surpassed the 1000 yard receiving mark for the Longhorns, a feat that hasn’t been accomplished since Jordan Shipley’s 2009 season.

TCU improves to 10-1 overall (7-1 Big 12) while the Longhorns finish the season at .500 (6-6 overall, 5-4 Big 12).
The Longhorns are expected to receive an invitation to the AutoZone Liberty Bowl (Memphis) or Advocare Texas Bowl (Houston).
