FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — No. 4 TCU is dominating on defense again. Now the Frogs should find out how much that has to do with the punchless offenses they’ve opposed.

TCU came within a field goal of becoming the first major college team since Boston College in 1992 to post three consecutive shutouts, settling for a 31-3 victory against BYU on Saturday.

The Frogs allowed less than 200 yards in all three games, yet it’s worth noting that the highest-ranked offense among the bunch was Colorado State at No. 83. When Air Force brings the nation’s best rushing offense to Fort Worth next weekend, TCU will be a day shy of a month since the last time it allowed a touchdown.
