FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) - Andy Dalton threw three touchdown
passes, Ed Wesley scored running and catching the ball and the TCU
defense smothered UNLV to get its first shutout of the season, 41-0
on Saturday.
It was another dominating performance for the eighth-ranked
Horned Frogs (8-0, 4-0 Mountain West), who for now are in position
to be this season's BCS buster.
TCU won its 10th consecutive game overall, and 12th in a row at
home - a span at Amon Carter Stadium in which the Frogs have
outscored their opponents by an average margin of 43-9 since a loss
to Utah two years ago. The 19th-ranked Utes will be in Fort Worth
in two weeks.
UNLV (3-6, 1-4) never challenged the Horned Frogs, a week after
a 38-7 victory at BYU boosted them to sixth in the Bowl
Championship Series standings and past Boise State, the only other
undefeated team from a non-BCS conference.
