It was not the bounce-back performance that the Oklahoma Sooners were looking for in their road matchup with the TCU Horned Frogs. For the second week in a row, the Oklahoma Sooners were dominated by a Big 12 opponent. Though the offense had some success last week against Kansas State, that wasn’t the case against TCU this week.
From the opening drive, TCU had its way with the Sooners to the tune of a 55-24 win for their first win over Oklahoma since 2014.
Oklahoma was never close in this game. TCU jumped out to a 20-3 lead in the first quarter and led 34-17 at halftime. Unlike last season against Texas, the Sooners were unable to come back from a huge halftime deficit with their backup quarterback in the game.
TCU racked up 668 total yards of offense and 29 first downs. It was a complete and utter domination of the Oklahoma Sooners, who were once ranked as high as No. 6 in the USA TODAY Sports coaches poll.
As we begin to dissect the blowout loss, here are five takeaways from the Sooners’ 55-24 loss to the TCU Horned Frogs.
