For three-quarters of No. 4 TCU’s commanding 43-0 victory against Kansas at Amon G. Carter Stadium, the Jayhawks’ play-by-play sheet read like a North Dakota temperature report during the heart of winter.
Minus-5, minus-7, minus-9, minus-3.
Coach Gary Patterson’s defense turned in a Big 12 record-setting performance in giving former TCU offensive coordinator Doug Meacham a stunningly ugly welcome back to Fort Worth.
The Horned Frogs limited Kansas to a conference-record 21 yards of total offense and sent the Jayhawks’ running game into retreat, holding it to minus-25 yards.
Kansas ran 49 plays in 13 drives.
