Frog Report Card
Passing offense: C
For the most part senior quarterback Sean Stilley did his job in managing the offense. The Frogs attempted just 19 passes on the afternoon, as the team leaned heavily on the rushing attack. Stilley finished the game by throwing for 85 yards and one interception.

Rushing offense: A+
The Frogs gave most of the workload to Lonta Hobbs, and the true freshman dazzled. Going for 287 yards on 33 carries and three touchdowns, Hobbs’ carries accounted for nearly 45 percent of TCU’s offensive plays. Junior tailback Ricky Madison spelled Hobbs, taking the ball six times for 29 yards. Senior fullback Reggie Holts also had a 1-yard rushing touchdown on a clever third-down call.

Passing defense: B-
In his first career start, sophomore cornerback Mark Walker stepped up for the Frogs. Walker had an interception and two passes broken up as the Tigers tried to test him. Memphis went his way because senior Jason Goss was on the other side. Goss had an interception giving him seven for the season, one shy of the TCU season record.

Rushing defense: B-
The Memphis combination of senior Dante Brown and freshman D’Angelo Williams combined for 111 yards on 24 carries. Overall however, the Tigers had just 108 total yards on the ground. Like almost always, senior linebacker LaMarcus McDonald led the team in tackles, having nine in the game.

Special teams: D-
The Frogs missed two extra points: One that was blocked, and one that never seemed to get higher than two feet. The two misses allowed the Tigers to take the 20-19 lead late, instead of making Memphis go for 2 points to tie the score. Seniors Goss and Terran Williams both had fumbles, one of which resulted in a Memphis score. Memphis also converted a pass in their rollout punt formation, catching the Frogs in lackadaisical coverage.
