TCU extends its lead

The Horned Frogs did not waste their chance and capitalized on a turnover to score a touchdown drive. The clock was 2:36. A nine-play, 99-yard drive ended with Kendre Miller's one-yard touchdown run. TCU leads 10-0 with 3:26 remaining in the second quarter.

One thing to keep an eye on moving forward is that Horned Frogs wide receiver Quentin Johnston already has 139 receiving yards on eight catches. With the help of quarterback Max Duggan, he's been reorganizing the Jayhawks' secondary. Kansas will have to do something to slow Johnston down, perhaps even double it.

Jayhawks throw the ball away

Kansas was poised to score after forcing another TCU punt. With a pass from Jalon Daniels, Mason Fairchild, a tight end, made a great catch that gave Kansas a 48 yard gain. Daniels lost the ball just outside the end zone and fumbled it away.

TCU leads 3-0 with 10 minutes remaining in the second quarter.

END 1Q: TCU 3, Kansas 0 Jayhawks come up with big stop defensively

TCU drove into Kansas territory once again. The Horned Frogs appeared to be on another scoring drive. But on 4th-and-short, just inside the 40 yard line, a TCU run didn't get enough and Kansas will take over with 3:59 left in the first quarter with the score still at 3-0 — in favor of TCU.

Max Duggan is a good quarterback for the Horned Frogs. He's been difficult to bring down. TCU has not yet seen touchdown drives.

Kansas punts on its first drive

The Jayhawks were unable to respond to the Horned Frogs' scoring drive and ended up punting the ball away at midfield. Quarterback Jalon Daniels tried to take a few shots downfield but couldn't connect to his wide receivers. Kansas showed some signs of potential success with Daniels, but will need to make more plays.

TCU scores with field goal

The Jayhawks were able to drive deep into the territory of the Horned Frogs, but they had to settle for a field goal. The drive took 4:10 off the clock and covered 57 yards in 10 plays. TCU leads 3-0 with the 39 yard field goal. There are 10:46 remaining in the first quarter.

This is the real strength of Kansas' defense. Although teams may gain yards on the Jayhawks' defense, they don't score as many touchdowns. Brian Borland, the defensive coordinator, has referred to this as a confidence booster.
