“We’ve just got to execute better,” TCU coach Sonny Dykes said. “We’ve been a little unsettled. We took a step in the right direction in getting more settled, but we’re still making a lot of mistakes.” TCU’s defense held the Cougars in check. Quarterback Donovan Smith completed 18 of 35 passes for 245 yards, while the Cougars totaled 35 yards on 26 carries.“It’s unacceptable,” Houston coach Dana Holgorsen said. “I thought we had a good plan coming in. We’re just not executing the plan or making plays. We can sit around and talk about how bad the offense is all night -- that’s on me. I thought the defense played their tail off.
Houston receiver Samuel Brown entered the game leading the Big 12 with 15 receptions and 244 yards receiving through his first two games. Brown had another active game against TCU, making five catches for 99 yards.TCU: After entering Saturday’s game ranking 126th in the nation in allowing 343.5 passing yards per game, TCU’s secondary showed much improvement against Houston, aided in part by a much more aggressive pass rush up front. TCU had six sacks and eight tackles for loss.
Houston: The Cougars have one more non-conference game against Sam Houston before finishing out the season with eight Big 12 games. Finding an offensive rhythm and getting more from the running game could be key.“Our team was ready to play. The energy in the stadium was awesome. It’s opening night for the Big 12 -- everything you want it to be. Let’s not forget this team played in the national championship game last year. They’re a good team.
