Trevone Boykin looks to pass the ball under pressure in the first quarter.

MINNEAPOLIS -- Trevone Boykin and No. 2 TCU got quite a test from Minnesota in their opener.

Boykin threw for 246 yards and a touchdown and ran for 92 yards and another score to help the Horned Frogs outlast Minnesota 23-17 on Thursday night.

Boykin started his Heisman push by completing 26 of 42 passes. But he also threw an interception and the Horned Frogs had a difficult time getting their frenetic offense rolling against Minnesota's determined defense.
