The TCU offense has jumped all over Oklahoma in the first quarter, surging out to a 20-3 lead over the Sooners less than ten minutes in.

First, Horned Frogs quarterback Max Duggan started the game with a 19-yard touchdown pass to Savion Williams. Then, after Oklahoma answered with a 43-yard field goal, Duggan found a wide open Taye Barber for a 73-yard touchdown. After the Sooners turned it over on downs, all it took was one run by Duggan to give TCU a 20-3 lead, an electrifying one at that.

Afterwards, Oklahoma has punted the ball back to TCU with a little over five minutes remaining in the first quarter. If the Sooners defense doesn’t begin to stop the Horned Frogs, they could turn this game into a rout.

Thus far, Duggan is 6-for-9 for 103 passing yards and two touchdowns, while opposing Oklahoma quarterback Dillon Gabriel is 6-for-13 for 48 passing yards. While the latter came in with all the hype, the TCU signal caller is showing he’s no pushover.

Luckily, the Oklahoma offense showed up before the end of the first quarter, as a 78-yard reception by Brayden Willis led to a 1-yard Eric Gray touchdown run for the Sooners. Now, the lead has been but from 20-10, and things look a little less insurmountable for Oklahoma.

Still, Brent Venables and company need a victory in today’s game after a loss to Kansas State last weekend. Meanwhile, TCU survived an onslaught from SMU last weekend, and it looks like they’re playing better become of it.

Nevertheless, if the Sooners can’t get the job done, the color purple may never want to be seen again by Oklahoma faithful.
