Game Story


FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) -- Josh Doctson caught two first-half touchdown
receptions and TCU's defense smothered Minnesota's run-oriented attack
for a 30-7 win Saturday.

TCU (2-0) forced five turnovers and held Minnesota (2-1) to 99 yards
rushing -- 134 below its average.

Doctson had a leaping grab with his right hand for a 7-yard score that
increased TCU's lead to 17-0 early in the second quarter.

Trevone Boykin completed 27 of 46 passes for 258 yards, two touchdowns
and an interception. He also rushed 12 times for 92 yards.

TCU held David Cobb to 41 yards on 15 carries. Cobb averaged 145.5
yards rushing in Minnesota's previous two victories.

The Gophers' lone score came on a 12-yard pass from freshman Chris
Streveler to Maxx Williams with 10:56 to play.

Doctson opened the scoring with a 13-yard over-the-shoulder catch. He
finished with six catches for 64 yards.

TCU's newly-installed up-tempo offense wasted little time adding points
on the scoreboard. Only one of the Horned Frogs' six scoring drives took
longer than 2 minutes.

Minnesota's starting quarterback, Mitch Leidner, left the game early in
the fourth quarter following a hard tackle. Leidner was 12 of 26 for 151
yards and three interceptions and also lost a fumble.

Leidner had just returned after leaving last week's Gophers win over
Middle Tennessee State with a sprained ligament in his left knee.

TCU scored on its first two possessions and was never seriously threatened
the rest of the way. After Doctson's first touchdown catch, the Frogs
followed Minnesota's second consecutive three-and-out with the first of
Jaden Oberkrom's three field goals, from 46 yards.

The Frogs' opening scoring drive of 18 yards was set up by a 46-yard punt
return by Cameron Echols-Luper.

Midway through the first quarter, TCU had outgained Minnesota in total
yardage 50 to minus-1. The Gophers finished the first quarter with minus-1
yard rushing.

Two of Minnesota's three first-half turnovers were turned into Horned Frogs
touchdowns. Cobb lost a fumble on the first play after Boykin was intercepted
by Briean Boddy-Calhoun at the Gophers 39.

TCU converted that into a 1-yard touchdown run by B.J. Catalon for a 24-0
lead with 9:01 to play in the half.

Minnesota had opened each of its previous two seasons with four consecutive
non-conference wins.

TCU coach Gary Patterson and Minnesota coach Jerry Kill are long-time friends.
Kill served in Patterson's wedding party 10 years ago. The home-and-home
series will resume when TCU visits Minneapolis next September in the season
opener for both schools.
