The Good: For the second consecutive season, the Gophers' defense limited the Horned Frogs' offense to their lowest point total of the year. Since scoring 23 against Minnesota, TCU has gone on to score 70, 56, and 55 points against Stephen F. Austin, SMU, and Texas Tech, respectively. Trevone Boykin, in particular, has benefited from not having to play the Gophers, throwing for an average of 408 yards and 4 touchdowns in his last three games after throwing for 246 yards and 1 touchdown at TCF Bank Stadium. The Gophers' bright spot on offense was the debut of redshirt freshman Rodney Smith, who ran for 88 yards on 16 carries with 1 touchdown in the first game of his career.
