TCU’s offensive line obliterated Louisville’s defense, one of the best run stuffing units in the nation. The line paved the way for junior Ricky Madison’s 137 yards, and true freshman Lonta Hobbs’ 106. TCU’s backfield did not fumble in 62 carries.

Passing defense: B+
Louisville senior Dave Ragone amassed 309 yards through the air, but most occurred after TCU had built an insurmountable lead. TCU’s pass rushers sacked him six times and caused numerous hurried throws. Senior John Turntine intercepted a tipped pass, setting up TCU’s final touchdown.

Rushing defense: A+
Louisville ran the ball 22 times for minus 26 yards, the reason Louisville possessed the ball for only 19:37. Senior LaMarcus McDonald led the Frogs with seven tackles, all unassisted.

Special teams: A-
Redshirt freshman Flander Malone forced a fumble on a Louisville’s second kick return. Louisville’s special teams blocked their sixth punt on the season, which enabled them to close the score to 38-24. TCU had to punt on two of their next three possessions, but senior Joey Biasatti preserved the win for the Frogs with pooch punts that pinned Louisville on their own 4-yard line and 14-yard line respectively.
