WEEK 10
The Game- Cincinnati (+2) @ TCU (5-2)
- Attendance: 36,600
- 72 degrees, Fair
- Cincinnati leads series, 2-0
Coach Purple would not allow a special guest performer this week following the Pamela Anderson "boob-fest" fiasco. This turned out to be a good idea as the Frogs rolled over the Bearcats in the 2nd quarter with 4 consecutive drives for points, 2 set up by interceptions.
The 3rd quarter saw Cincinnati possess the ball for over 10:00, including a 13 play, 75 yard drive, but that seemed to drain them and ,in the 4th quarter, TCU turned the table on Cincy, with 11:23 TimeofPossession to seal the game with a field goal at the end of a 7:07 minute, 84 yard drive.
RB Graham Elliot had another big day with 174 yards rushing and 101 yards receiving with 2 td receptions.
Final Score: TCU 23 Cincinnati 16

Recruiting:
We had an excellent week on the recruiting trail, nailing 5 players, 2 from the top 100. We finally got a TE to commit, and he is the #1 TE in the country from IL. We lost out on 4 players, including our other QB candidate, so Ike Palmer is our only good QB prospect still visiting. His emphases are Acad*, Dist. He is visiting Kansas, Michigan and Oregon, all of whom are half our Academic rating and farther away than Ft. Worth. We think he should be ours, though you never know in this biz.
