FORT WORTH, Texas - -- In 1946, TCU pulled off one of the biggest upsets in school history, shocking No. 6 Texas, 14-0.
TCU entered the November contest as losers of five-straight and appeared to be no match for the Longhorns. Following a stifled Texas offensive possession deep in their own territory, Carl Knox connected with Paschal alum Dick Lipscomb on an open 11-yard touchdown pass on the Horned Frogs' first second-quarter possession.
TCU elected to have the heavy winds at its backs to start the second half. On the Longhorns' first possession, a strong rush by the TCU defensive front led to a blocked punt, which Harold Kilmain recovered at the Texas 10.
Faced with a 4th-and-2, TCU saw All-America honoree Lindy Berry bowl his way over the middle to gain a first down at the 6-inch line. Dave Bloxom pushed his way across on the next play and TCU led 14-0.
Another Texas special teams miscue saw Lipscomb recover a muffed punt return at the Longhorn 3. However, the Frogs were unable to capitalize. Texas could hardly muster an offensive threat for the remainder of the game and the crowd of 21,000 witnessed a true upset.
