• Over the past three games between the teams, TCU has averaged 53.3 points per game, while New Mexico has averaged 53.7.

• TCU's win made the Horned Frogs 1-0 for the first time in league play since 2001.
• TCU trailed 33-28 at halftime, but the Frogs scored the first 14 points out of the break to surge to a 42-33 lead and never looked back.

A TCU Win Would...
• Give the Horned Frogs their third league victory of the season, surpassing last year's total.
