TCU had a great game plan and they executed it well:

Their D line held up and let them get an extra db on the field. They didnt give up the big plays (other than the 86 yarder) by keeping receivers in front of them. The D got pressure more and more with 3 or 4 guys.

Offensively TCU committed to running the ball, which opened up the passing game. It wasn't flashy but it got the job done.

I think Okie Lite's mindset from there previous games hurt them. The broadcasters kept talking about them being calm on the sideline, not panicking. I felt like they didnt handle adversity well and it threw them off. Once they developed a sense of urgency, it was too late. Plus they were dragging ass on defense by that point and couldn't make stops.

I couldn't agree more, that's why scheduling know body teams the first 3 weeks is a bad idea. Texas getting Maryland and USC and HoeU getting Ohio st, really shows you what you have early and tends to not bite you in the ass. They were thinkin they were the cats meow and the first real test was a gut check. To confident and just plain out coached

TCU is the first good defense Okie St has played. So take a long look because you just saw the blueprint.

Okie St's defense was no slouch, either. Of course, Hill wasn't that much of a challenge.

Going to make for some great big 12 matchups to come. That's a guarantee.

TCU is a pretty sound team.  OSU is suspect in both OL and DL.  TCU had an excellent game plan and it worked to perfection.  Also, TCU didn't have a penalty until the 4th quarter.

The fight the entire season has already been, and will continue to be, Kenny Hill and his complete lack of judgment and discretion.  He still believes he is Kenny Trill and Kenny Trill is a gunslinger - even when it is time to run out the clock.  Thankfully Coach Patterson has allowed OC Sonny Cumbie the independence to call whatever he wants when TCU is nursing a big lead - provided it is a run up the middle.

If TCU can continue to convince Trill that the team will win more games with their defense, their experienced OL and surprising running game while he drives the bus, odds are the Frogs will be pretty good.  

I thought Oklahoma State was better than us.  I was surprised at how our OL and DL handled them.
