TCU Football: Texas Halftime Report

First Half Highlights:

The No. 4 TCU Horned Frogs (9-0, 6-0) are facing the season's most significant challenge thus far. It's halftime, in Austin, against the No. 18 Texas Longhorns (6-3, 4-2).

The first half was a defensive battle, with both teams having multiple three-and-outs. At the end of the 1st, TCU had a total of 24 yards, as Texas had a total of 15 yards. Griffin Kell attempted a 37-yard field goal at the end of the quarter, to give the Frogs the first points of the game. However, the ball went just to the left of the upright. The kick was deflected by a Texas player. The highlight of the quarter was a 26-yard pass from Max Duggan to Quentin Johnston, when it was 3rd and 16.

The second half was not much better for either team. Kell put the Frogs on the board, with a 34-yard kick with 1:20 left in the half.

TCU dominated the time of possession, having the ball for 19:52 of the half.
