Throttled down with a 27-point first quarter and four touchdowns of at least 62 yards, the TCU Horned Frogs wiped out No. 18 Oklahoma early and continued the pressure for a 55-24 win. For its offensive explosion of 668 total yards that ended an eight-game losing streak to the Sooners before the second-largest crowd in Amon G. Carter Stadium history, TCU (4-0) earned the Cheez-It Bowl National Team of the Week honor for games of the weekend of Oct. 1, as selected by the Football Writers Association.

This is the eighth time for TCU to earn team of the week honors and its first since last November when it beat No. 14 Baylor. A Big 12 team was honored for the second straight week as K-State picked up the award for Sept. 24 games. All Division I FBS and FCS schools are eligible to be selected.

TCU quarterback Max Duggan totaled 418 yards of offense and five touchdowns as the Frogs moved to 4-0 for the first time since 2017 when now-first-year head coach Sonny Dykes was an offensive analyst. Dykes is the first TCU head coach to win his opening four games since Francis Schmidt in 1929. The Horned Frogs ran up 479 yards in the first half alone, the most nationally in a half against an FBS opponent this season. It was the Horned Frogs' most in a half since at least 2011.

Duggan, in his 32nd career start at TCU, completed 23-of-33 passes for 302 yards with three touchdowns without an interception. He added 116 yards rushing on just five carries with two additional scores. His fourth career 100-yard rushing game makes him just the fifth quarterback since 1996 to average at least 23.0 yards per rush on a minimum of five carries. Duggan leads the nation in passing efficiency (202.2) and is third in completion percentage (74.5, on 70-of-94).

“When we got that turnover (on Oklahoma’s first possession) and went down and scored that was huge. It gave our guys a big boost,” Dykes said. “When you can do that and get that kind of confidence and emotion going, it’s great. The crowd was great, it was really fun to be a part of that atmosphere. I think our players fed off that.”

This is just TCU’s second win in the series since joining the Big 12 in 2012 and its 55 points were the most it has scored in 23 all-time games against Oklahoma.

TCU visits Kansas (5-0) at 11 a.m. CT Saturday on FS1.

This is the 21st season the FWAA will select a national team of the week. Each honored team will receive a custom Cheez-It "care package" along with a hand-crafted game ball made in America by Dallas-based Big Game USA, the nation's leading manufacturer of custom footballs.
