No. 8 TCU 38, No. 17 Kansas State 28
Oct. 22, 2022
Fort Worth, Texas
Team Notes
*TCU is 7-0 for the first time since 2017, when current Head Coach Sonny Dykes was on staff as an offensive analyst.
*Dykes is just the second head coach in program history, joining Francis Schmidt in 1929, to win his opening seven games.
*Dykes earned his ninth victory over a ranked opponent.
*TCU is just the second Big 12 team in history to beat a ranked opponent in four consecutive weeks. Before this season, the Horned Frogs never had more than two straight weeks of defeating a ranked team.
*The Horned Frogs rallied from an 18-point deficit for the win, its largest come-from-behind victory since trailing Stanford 21-3 in the 2017 Alamo Bowl before winning 39-37. TCU rallied from a 17-point deficit to beat Oklahoma State, 43-40, in double overtime last week.
*The attendance of 47,881, including a TCU record 6,512 students, gave TCU its third straight sellout and its longest streak since a run of seven straight sellouts in the 2014-15 seasons.
*The 6,512 students, more than half of TCU's enrollment, marked a second straight game for a student attendance record.
*TCU played its first home game as a top-10 team since the 2017 regular-season finale when it was No. 10 and beat Baylor, 45-22, to advance to the Big 12 Championship Game.
*TCU had dropped its previous three games to Kansas State, including 31-12 in Manhattan last season.
*TCU scored for the 374th consecutive game, the second-longest streak in NCAA history. No. 1 is Florida at 430 games (1988-present). The Horned Frogs haven't been blanked since Nov. 16, 1991, at Texas (32-0).
*TCU season captains Steve Avila, Dylan Horton, Quentin Johnston and Dee Winters took part in the coin toss.
*TCU wore black helmet, black jersey and black pants.
