TCU rebounded from its season-opening loss to North Carolina with a dominant 63-7 victory over Grambling State, improving to 1-1 and scoring 35 unanswered points after halftime. Quarterback Jaden Craig delivered a career-best performance, completing 24 of 31 passes for 391 yards and four touchdowns without an interception, while tight end Kari Ashley caught seven passes for 119 yards and two scores. The Horned Frogs produced 285 rushing yards, 33 first downs and 676 total yards, with Jeremy Payne adding 79 yards on the ground. TCU’s defense limited Grambling to 210 total yards and 20 rushing yards, allowing just one third-down conversion in 14 attempts, and Teon Parks added a 67-yard interception return for a touchdown. The victory gave TCU an offensive and disciplinary reset, but its next test will come when it hosts Arkansas State.
