Cougars pull within one score
HOUSTON, Texas -- If UH comes back to win this game, it will be because of Case Keenum's heroic efforts.
UH misses long field goal
HOUSTON, Texas -- The UH offensive line has struggled somewhat against TCU's very powerful defensive line, as they bear some of the responsibility for Anthony Alridge's lack of success today.
TCU threatens, settles for field goal
HOUSTON, Texas -- Beginning with a 30-yard completion to Ervin Dickerson, TCU methodically drove down the field against a UH defense that was looking a bit worn out.

TCU ties it up

Another fourth down dilemma
HOUSTON, Texas -- The situation: TCU has the ball, facing 4th-and-1 at midfield. I don't have to tell you what happens next, do I?
Halftime news and notes
HOUSTON, Texas -- One thing about college football I doubt I will ever understand: the appeal of wearing one of those God-awful hats the marching bands have.

Miscues mar TCU drive

A stark contrast

Texas Bowl preview

Texas wins second half, game
AUSTIN, TX -- Odds are, you won't find another football game this season with more different halves than what we saw here tonight.
19th-ranked TCU rode a dominating performance from its defense to 10-0 halftime lead.
Then 7th-ranked Texas got it all together after intermission, scoring 27 unanswered points and coasting to a 34-13 victory in front of 84,621.
Texas delivers killshot
AUSTIN, TX -- Two interesting facts about Genus Phrynosoma:
1. No one calls them "horned frogs" in Texas. They're called "horny toads."
2. When threatened by a predator, they can shoot blood from their eyes, up to four feet in distance. Seriously.
TCU might want to try something along those lines, because they're now behind 27-10 and in danger of being squished by Texas
Attitude Adjustment
AUSTIN, TX -- A different team came out of the Texas locker room after halftime.
The team that entered the locker room had totaled 0 points and 137 yards of total offense. The team that exited has come out and put up 17 points and 176 yards in first 16 minutes of the second half.
Early in the fourth quarter, Texas leads TCU 17-10.
TCU D dominating in Austin
AUSTIN, TX -- TCU's defense has spent the first 30 minutes of the game befuddling Colt McCoy, shutting down Jamaal Charles, and silencing the huge, burnt-orange sea of a crowd in Royal-Memorial Stadium.
At the half, 19th-ranked TCU leads 7th-ranked Texas 10-0.
TCU-Texas, just like old times
Here in Austin, TCU and Texas are going throwback. The long-time rivals will meet for the 82nd time, but the first since the Southwest Conference broke up following the 1995 season.
The Horns and the Horned Frogs first battled in 1897, with Texas holding a 60-20-1 lead in the series. With both teams ranked, though, tonight's game will be the biggest matchup in the series since the 1930's.
