Texas Christian (5-0, 1-0) beat Air Force (3-3, 2-1) in the icy cold of Falcon Stadium by a score of 20 - 17. TCU recovered a late onside kick attempt as Air Force put the pressure on late after a Connor Dietz rushing touchdown. TCU had to overcome 3 turnovers on the day.
TCU's Jimmy Young led both teams with 6 catches for 113 yards on the day. Joseph Turner would lead both teams on the ground with 18 carries for 72 yards and a touchdown, beating out Air Force QB Dietz by one yard. The Horned Frogs turnovers came of one interception and two fumbles. One fumble was by Turner on a 1st and goal from the 7. The other was late in the game by Jeremy Kerley.
With Tim Jefferson out Dietz lead Air Force to 17 points including a rushing touchdown of his own. The other Air Force touchdown came off a trick play where Jonathan Warzeka tossed it to fellow wide receiver Kevin Fogler for a 16 yard strike.
In the end TCU showed even with a poor game on the road they are a tough team to beat. Not many teams can turn it over 3 times on the road force no turnovers of their own and come away with a W. TCU takes on a struggling Colorado State at home next week. Air Force gets Wyoming at Falcon Stadium next week.
