A week after getting pasted by Oklahoma, the TCU defense was back to its old self.
Despite playing without two starting linebackers, leading tackler Travin Howard and Montrel Wilson, and losing safety Ridwan Issahaku in the third quarter, the Horned Frogs stuffed Texas Tech in a 27-3 win Saturday afternoon at Jones AT&T Stadium.
It’s the fewest points for the Red Raiders since TCU beat them 12-3 in 2006. The last time Texas Tech was held to three points at home was a 56-3 loss to Nebraska in October 2000.
“We did some interesting things with our three-man front to try to get enough guys in the box,” TCU coach Gary Patterson said.
