TCU erased a 13-point halftime deficit to beat Kansas 22-16, using a 60-yard interception return, a 28-yard touchdown run and a late quarterback keeper to complete the comeback. Jaden Craig led the Horned Frogs in both passing and rushing, while the defense forced two turnovers and helped keep the game within reach.

  • Halftime score: Kansas 13, TCU 0.
  • First-half total yards: Kansas 217, TCU 129.
  • Craig: 141 passing yards, 87 rushing yards on 15 carries.

Yes, But

TCU’s offense struggled through a scoreless first half, and Kansas retook the lead 16-14 in the fourth quarter. Questionable pass-interference calls added tension, but the Horned Frogs delivered a late touchdown and two-point conversion to secure the win.

State of Play
  • TCU’s defense forced two key turnovers, including Max Carroll’s 60-yard pick-six, and generated the momentum for the comeback.
  • Craig’s increased role in the run game gave TCU another way to move the ball.
  • Coach Sonny Dykes called the victory a much-needed step toward getting the team pointed in the right direction.

Bottom Line

TCU turned a stagnant first half into a resilient road-ready performance, with defense creating the opening and Craig finishing the comeback. The win offers a boost, but the Frogs will need a more consistent start against ranked Arizona.
