BYU puts nation's longest win streak on line at TCU
Fort Worth, TX (Sports Network) - The nation's longest winning streak is on the line again this Thursday night as the ninth-ranked BYU cougars take to the field in Fort Worth against the TCU Horned Frogs in a Mountain West Conference showdown.BYU, which enters the week as one of only 10 Football Bowl Subdivision programs still undefeated, has strung together 16 wins in a row, thanks to a 21-3 triumph over New Mexico last Saturday in Provo. With the victory the Cougars won their 16th straight home conference game and have now won 18 consecutive MWC encounters regardless of location. The 18 straight league wins, which began after the team bowed to Utah in the 2005 MWC finale, represents the longest such streak for any team in the nation at the moment.
As for the Horned Frogs, a team that had been nationally-ranked this season before tumbling against Oklahoma on the road back on September 27th (35-10), they are again closing in on the Top-25 having won six of seven games this year. Last Saturday, the Frogs scored a season-low 13 points, yet still managed to post a six-point triumph over Colorado State in Fort Collins. As is the case with every team on the schedule this season that has a history with the Cougars, BYU has beaten each of them in their most recent meetings and TCU is no exception. A year ago the Cougars picked up a 27-22 decision to move ahead in the all-time series with the Frogs at 5-2.
After suffering through a scoreless first quarter the Cougars eased ahead of New Mexico on a one-yard touchdown pass from Max Hall to Andrew George, the first of two TD catches by George. Hall finished with three scoring tosses, the other going to Austin Collie as the signal-caller finished 22-of-34 for 265 yards in the victory. Collie, who has taken over as the main target down the field for Hall, had nine catches for a game-high 155 yards and in doing so was named the MWC Offensive Player of the Week. However, were it not for the play of Hall, guys like Dennis Pitta (40 receptions, three TDs) and Collie (47 receptions, eight TDs) would not be where they are today.
Hall is converting an astounding 70.7 percent of his pass attempts for more than 307 ypg and has 20 touchdowns against just four picks. "I think Max is continuing to learn, grow and improve each week and I don't think the best gauge will always be the statistical reference points that a lot of people use," is how head coach Bronco Mendenhall has tried to downplay the tremendous success that Hall has experienced to this point in the season. "Each game has been managed quite differently so Max has had six very unique and different opportunities...he's improved with poise, composure and application of our offense, those things are where I think he's making most of his strides."
The Lobos were lucky to have even scored three points against BYU over the weekend, considering the issues plaguing the quarterback position. David Tafuna posted the only interception of the game for either side, while Coleby Clawson and Ian Dulan tallied two and one sacks, respectively, for a group that held New Mexico to just 285 yards of total offense. "It's a great win for our football team in the way that it came hard-fought, inch-by-inch, foot-by- foot," noted coach Mendenhall following the festivities. "I was proud of our football team. It was the most physical and hard-fought game that we have played this season."
As great as Hall has been for the offense this season, it is difficult to overlook a defensive unit for the Cougars that is ninth in the nation in tackles for loss with eight per game and 18th with 2.67 sacks per outing. Instead of having one or two standout performers on the unit, the Cougars have a host of players who can make big plays at anytime to shake up an opponent. With that in mind, it's not hard to see how BYU became the second-best scoring defense in the country behind only USC with a mere 10.2 ppg allowed.
Filling in for an injured Andy Dalton at quarterback, Marcus Jackson had a bit of an off-day versus Colorado State last week, hitting 16-of-26 passes for 166 yards and an interception, yet still played well enough to secure the Frogs a narrow six-point win on the road. While Jackson paced the team with his 54 yards rushing, it was Joseph Turner and Aaron Brown who made their way into the end zone to account for both TDs for TCU. The Horned Frogs turned the ball over twice, but it could have been much worse with TCU putting the ball on the turf a total of five times and losing possession just once in those instances.
With Dalton still listed as questionable with a right knee injury, Jackson has to carry the offense again for the Horned Frogs. Just like Dalton, Jackson doesn't bring too much to the table in terms of passing the ball, averaging just 62 ypg through the air, but he is someone to watch on the ground with his team-best 352 yards. Despite averaging less than four yards per carry through seven games, Turner is still one of the more punishing runners in the MWC and has nine of the team's 25 rushing touchdowns to show for his efforts. Second in the conference this week, TCU ranks 13th in the country with 233 ypg rushing.
The top run defense in the nation was back to work against the Rams, limiting the home team to a mere 11 yards on 28 attempts. The pass defense got in on the act as well with 188 yards permitted and a pair of interceptions. Perhaps most impressive was the fact that the Horned Frogs managed to record six sacks overall, with Jerry Hughes posting two of those for a loss of 16 yards. Daryl Washington had just two total stops, but two were for loss and one against the QB, while recovering a fumble and making an interception en route to being named the MWC Defensive Player of the Week.
Hughes has been a beast for the Horned Frogs this season and is currently ranked second in the conference and tied for ninth in the nation with an average of one sack per game. The team as a whole is at the top of the heap with 3.86 sacks per game thus far. Trailing only Georgia Tech from a national standpoint, the Frogs are posting 8.86 TFLs per game as well, thanks in large part to Hughes who has 10 all by himself. "Our kids understand that this is a measuring stick to size up where we are in the Mountain West," TCU head coach Gary Patterson told the media about this week's meeting against the Cougars. "We are a good defensive team and now we get to see what we can do against one of the top offenses in the country."
