The Frogs finished in a tie with BYU for the regular season conference title.
"We finished strong and had an excellent weekend," said TCU head coach Jefferson Hammond. "I'm very excited for the players, staff and school as we locked up a share of the regular season conference title. A lot of work has gone in across the board and we've improved along the way and grown as a team."
