TCU Football: OSU Halftime Report

First Half Analysis:

Spencer Sanders and the Oklahoma State Cowboys came out of the gates pistols firing, scoring on their first drive. After forcing the Frogs to punt on the first possession of the game, the Cowboys marched down the field and got in for six with a 29-yard rushing touchdown by Sanders.

The Cowboys extended their lead to 14-0 when big plays from Dominic Richardson and John Paul Richardson led the offense down the field. Once again, Sanders found the end zone with an 8-yard rushing touchdown.

On the ensuing drive the Frogs found success after targeting Quentin Johnston who had a chunk play for 48 yards, putting TCU at the 1-yard line. The drive was capped off with a 1-yard rushing touchdown by Max Duggan, bringing the Frogs within a score of the Cowboys.

Just as it seemed the Frogs were going to turn the tide by forcing OSU to punt, a muffed punt by Derius Davis saw the Cowboys take over at the 24 yard line. The Cowboys took advantage of the gift they were afforded when Sanders found J. Richardson for the 22-yard touchdown pass to extend the lead to 24-7.

With a vital 4th and 4, the Frogs turned it over on downs as an end around to Davis saw him come a yard short of the line to gain.

Toward the end of the half, cornerback Kee'yon Stewart missed a big opportunity to get a tide-turning interception, but wasn't able to reel it in. On the ensuing drive, the Frogs were able to move the ball with some great blocking that allowed for Miller to pick up a couple first downs.

The Cowboys lead the Frogs 24-13 at half.
