TCU returned to Amon G. Carter Stadium on Saturday and secured bowl eligibility with a 38-13 win over Oklahoma State, something that they came up short of just last season.
The Horned Frogs came out strong, building a 24-0 lead by halftime and maintaining their intensity throughout. TCU’s defense, which has struggled at times this season, stepped up with three takeaways—its first since the 51-45 College Football Playoff Semifinal win over Michigan in 2022. They successfully contained Oklahoma State quarterback Alan Bowman, holding him to just 141 passing yards despite the Cowboys trailing for most of the game.
On offense, TCU utilized a variety of playmakers. Savion Williams scored twice, once on a 1-yard run and again on a 6-yard reception. Quarterback Josh Hoover completed 26 of 35 passes for 286 yards and a touchdown with no interceptions.
JP Richardson, facing his former team, was a standout with 100 receiving yards on seven catches. Richardson transferred to TCU this season after spending two years at Oklahoma State.
Running back Cam Cook added two rushing touchdowns, and Jordyn Bailey capped the scoring with a 59-yard run. TCU’s ground game was especially effective, a significant improvement for a unit that has struggled for much of the season.
The Horned Frogs head into a bye week before closing out their home schedule on November 23 against Arizona, aiming to build on this momentum.

00:00TCU is officially bowl-eligible as they defeat Oklahoma State 38-13.
00:09Now TCU spread the wealth of offensive tonight, utilizing Oklahoma State transfer J.P. Richardson
00:15who registered 100 receiving yards tonight, something he's only ever done just three
00:19times in his career.
00:20But ultimately it was the run game tonight that this Cowboy defense just simply could
00:24not stop.
00:25With four different players scoring rushing touchdowns, including a 59-yard rushing touchdown
00:29by Jordan Bailey.
00:31Quarterback Josh Hoover also had himself another pretty impressive night going 26-35 with 286
00:38passing yards and one touchdown.
00:39And ranks third nationally in passing yards so far this season with 3,233.
00:45Hoover says he gives a lot of credit to the offensive line tonight.
00:48He says their ability to pass, protect, and open up the run game allowed the offense to
00:51have the most complete game that they have had all season.
00:54We were just going out there making plays, throwing touchdowns, I mean I don't worry
00:58about that.
01:00You know that's not who I am, that's not who we are as an offense.
01:02We're just a bunch of fearless guys that go out there and make plays.
01:04And we've got a bunch of ballers, so when you've got guys like that you don't worry
01:09about those statistics.
01:10You do what you can to prepare and then you trust yourself and you're going to ball.
01:12So proud of our guys for trusting themselves, playing fearless, and doing a great job in
01:16that regard.
01:17TCU will head into a bye week, but we'll look to continue this momentum when they take
01:20on Arizona in their final home game of the season on November 26th.
