00:00 Sunny Dykes and the TCU Horned Frogs cruised to a 34-17 victory over local rivals SMU.
00:05 And for quarterback Chandler Morris, it was a fantastic day as he found 11 different receivers
00:09 for 261 yards and 3 touchdowns.
00:12 Sunny Dykes was incredibly impressed with his quarterback's performance and here's what
00:15 he had to say about Chandler Morris.
00:17 "You know, Chandler's such a headsy player.
00:20 You think about quarterbacks, all the stuff they're processing, okay?
00:23 You know, you gotta get a signal and you gotta get the formation set and most of the time
00:29 you have a motion and you have a pass protection, you gotta know who's hot on the pass protection
00:33 and you gotta know the play.
00:34 And what Chandler, to me, is doing such a good job of is understanding the situations."
00:38 While the passing game was on point today against the Mustangs, it was the rushing game
00:42 that continued to impress for the TCU Horned Frogs as Imani Bailey found 100 yards on the
00:47 ground for the third time this season.
00:49 Here's what Chandler Morris had to say about Imani Bailey as a player and what he means
00:53 as a critical piece to this TCU offense.
00:55 "Like I've said before, he's a warrior and I tell him that all the time.
00:59 Anytime nine is on the field, there's everybody on that field, all ten, all the other ten
01:03 players have a lot of confidence in him and all the coaches do as well.
01:08 He's doing a good job and he's taking some off of me and he's kind of helping us get
01:13 settled in because you gotta get the run game settled in and it kind of opens up everything
01:17 else and vice versa.
01:18 And so he's doing a great job."
01:22 Heading into today's game, the team emphasized winning the turnover battle and that's exactly
01:26 what the Horned Frogs did today as the offense for the first time this season registered
01:30 zero turnovers against the SMU Mustangs.
01:33 But for the defense, it was a massive game for Josh Newton and Bud Clark who both got
01:38 an interception to help the team on the defensive side of the ball.
01:41 It's definitely an aspect of the game that the Horned Frogs will want to take into next
01:45 week's matchup against the West Virginia Mountaineers.
