Boise State held a 13-0 lead throughout the first half, until Aaron Brown scored on a 16 yard run with 24 seconds left to keep TCU alive. TCU went on to scored 17 unanswered points. Boise State trimmed the deficit to 1 point on a Kyle Brotzman 33 yard FG with 4:47 left. TCU was forced to punt on their next possession, giving Boise a chance. The first play was an interception thrown by Kellen Moore. TCU went on and won the game 17-16.TCU's ground game proved the difference. The Horned Frogs outrushed Boise State 275-28 on Tuesday, the most rushing yards allowed by the Broncos this season. The Horned Frogs' seniors have won 41 games in their four seasons at TCU, making them the winningest class in school history. TCU's 2nd ranked defense showed up today, not allowing Boise St. to take control on offense.
The highlight of this game, especially for Boise State was when Ian Johnson scored on a 20 yard run. This TD set the record for most rushing TD's ever by a single play in the WAC, surpassing Marshall Faulk and Ladanian Tomlinson. Johnson's role diminished this season, carrying the ball the least amount of times in his career. Since he is a senior, hopefully he gets a shot in the NFL because he is a very talented player and a great team player.
