  • WR John Washington came out of the game after the first few plays because his hamstring was not completely recovered. He first strained it during the opening day of summer camp.
  • Jeff Dover's pass to Jason Tucker ended a 15 quarter offensive scoring drought for the Frogs. Before that pass, the Frogs had not had an offensive touchdown since the 2nd Quarter of the SMU game last season.
  • TCU's kicking game was outstanding; Freshman Royce Huffman averaged 44.9 yards on 10 punts. Michael Reeder made 2 field goals and the Sooners did not return any of his kickoffs; Joseph Phipps recovered a fumbled punt return on Oklahoma's 31 yard line.
  • TCU had lost the last five road season openers.
  • (9/08) TCU Storms Past OU (from Startext)
