TCU Football: SMU Halftime Report

First half analysis:

The Horned Frogs got off to a flying start against SMU by establishing the run with Kendre Miller. Opening the game with a 35-yard rush, the Frogs continued to dominate as Max Duggan found Savion Williams with a great touch pass.

Tanner Mordecai and the Mustangs continue to have trouble finding any success as TCU has shut down the run game. SMU are relying heavily on wide receiver Rashee Rice to give them the spark they need. While SMU have struggled to work down the field, holding and pass interference penalties have given the Mustangs a chance to stay in the game.

Although SMU cut down the deficit with a touchdown by Tre Siggers, the Horned Frogs answered back. After a 57-yard kickoff return by Derius Davis, the Frogs marched into the redone and Duggan found Jared Wiley for an 8-yard touchdown. Adding to their lead, the Duggan found Davis for an 80-yard touchdown pass.

TCU enter the half and lead the Mustangs 28-14.
