From the first play, TCU played from behind.
Not on the scoreboard, although that was the case soon enough.
The Horned Frogs were in an uphill battle from the time John Diarse was called for a personal foul following a 5-yard run by Kyle Hicks on the game’s opening snap.
Instead of second-and-5 and on schedule on their first possession, the Frogs faced second-and-15 and were behind the chains.
The drive went nowhere, and TCU missed a chance to start with a ball-control formula in its Big 12 showdown for first place against the Oklahoma Sooners.
