FORT WORTH, Texas — BYU can stop worrying about reaching the BCS. TCU made sure of that in an ironic twist of revenge.
Jonathan Dalton threw two touchdowns, receiver Jeremy Kerley became a running threat and TCU beat the ninth-ranked Cougars 32-7 on Thursday night, snapping their 16-game winning streak that was the longest in major college football.
When the Cougars were last in Fort Worth two years ago, they snapped TCU’s 13-game winning streak that was then the nation’s longest.
BYU (6-1, 2-1 Mountain West) never had a chance this time, not with Kerley, a former high school quarterback, taking direct snaps and running all over the place for the Frogs (7-1, 4-0) and their smothering top-ranked defense.
Max Hall, who had been sacked only twice over the first six games, was sacked four times before halftime, and two more after that. His fumble set up TCU’s first touchdown and he threw an interception that led to another score by the Frogs — all in the first quarter.
