Destroyed. Embarrassed. Pummeled. Those were the headlines Saturday night after the unranked Horned Frogs absolutely dominated the #18 Oklahoma Sooners 55-24 in a game that was controlled by TCU from the very first series. The win sets up a top 20 match up in Lawerence this Saturday between the #17 Horned Frogs and #19 Kansas Jayhawks as College Gameday hosts. Sean, Nathan, and Ryann are joined by Special Guest, Sports Illustrator writer Nate Cross, to discuss the game, abysmal officiating, and take a look at this week’s game at Kansas.
