I thank the TCU sports info dept. for a lot of these...
*TCU clinched the outright Mountain West Conference championship. The Horned Frogs have their first conference title since 2005, their first season in the MWC. TCU has won or shared in 15 conference championships in its history.
*The Horned Frogs are 12-0 for the first time in their history. It's the second 12-win season for TCU. The 1935 national championship team finished 12-1. The 2009 campaign marks the Horned Frogs¹ first 12-win regular season.
*TCU has its first undefeated and untied regular season since the 1938 national championship team went 10-0 before closing its campaign with an 11-0 record after a 15-7 win over Carnegie Tech in the Sugar Bowl. It¹s the second undefeated and untied regular season in TCU history.
*The Horned Frogs¹ seniors picked up their 42nd victory, making them the winningest class in TCU history. They are 42-9. The previous win record was 41 set by last year's seniors.
*TCU extended its winning streak to 14 games, tying a school record set over 70 years ago. The 1937 team won its final three games before the 1938 squad went 11-0 en route to the national championship.
*The Horned Frogs won their 14th consecutive home game and improved to 56-6 in their last 62 home dates dating back to 1999.
*Andy Dalton earned his 29th victory (29-6) as TCU's starting quarterback, tying him with Sam Baugh (29-7-2, .789, 1934-36) for the most in Horned Frog history.
And Dalton has a season remaining... by the way, he also passed Baugh for career touchdown passes and sits alone in second with 43.
Mansfield Timberview product Antoine Hicks also recorded his first 100-plus yard receiving game (5 catches, 123 yards, two TDs).
