<p>The TCU Horned Frogs were beaten, 37-23, by Iowa State on Saturday, dropping the Horned Frogs to 4-1 on the season. TCU played the game without their regular starting quarterback, as Casey Pachall was arrested earlier in the week and charged with DWI. Pachall was suspended indefinitely after the incident.</p>
<p>The Horned Frogs turned the ball over five times against ISU, including three interceptions by new quarterback <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/135251/trevone-boykin" class="sbn-auto-link">Trevone Boykin</a>. The final score could have been worse, but the Cyclones only scored 10 points from those five TCU turnovers.</p>
<p>Over at SB Nation's TCU blog, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.frogsowar.com/2012/10/6/3466264/the-agony-of-defeat-tcu-23-iowa-state-37-postgame-analysis">Frogs O' War</a>, the writers reacted to the disappointing loss. They had the following to say about Boykin's performance as he stepped in for <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/77347/casey-pachall" class="sbn-auto-link">Pachall</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"What to make of Boykin's first start? He was accurate for the most part, but indecisive and when he got out of his rhythm his throws were all over the place. All three of his interceptions were bad decisions, and choosing to force a throw through a defensive end instead of throwing it away or taking a sack ended up putting the game out of reach for the frogs."</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Boykin will likely be under center again when the Frogs face Baylor next Saturday. That game is scheduled to start at 6 p.m.. CT from Floyd Casey Stadium.</p>

<p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/iowa-st-cyclones">Iowa State Cyclones</a> pulled off the upset on Saturday as they defeated the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/tcu-horned-frogs">TCU Horned Frogs</a> 37-23 Saturday afternoon.</p>
<p>TCU was playing without starting quarterback <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/77347/casey-pachall">Casey Pachall</a>, who has been suspended indefinitely for being arrested on a DWI charge this past week, and the Iowa State defense took advantage of that and picked off Pachall's replacement <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/135251/trevone-boykin">Trevone Boykin</a> three times.</p>
<p>Overall, the Iowa State defense forced TCU to turn the ball over five times, and the final score could have been a lot worse as the Cyclones only scored 10 points off of those five turnovers.</p>
<p>The Cyclones offense got off to a quick start as they were up 10-0 and then 16-7 at the end of the first quarter, and they never looked back. Both first-quarter touchdowns were deep passes by quarterback <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/160547/jared-barnett">Jared Barnett</a> to wide receiver <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/76336/josh-lenz">Josh Lenz</a>; the two passes were 51 and 74 yards.</p>
<p>Iowa State did allow TCU to make it a game when the Horned Frogs outscored the Cyclones 13-7 between the second and third quarters, that made it a 23-20 game heading into the final quarter.</p>
<p>Both teams exchanged touchdowns in the fourth quarter, but the game was sealed when <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/134068/david-irving">David Irving</a> returned an interception 21 yards with 7:51 left to put the Cyclones on top for good at 37-23.</p>
<p><b>Box Score Hero: </b>Josh Lenz, who caught five receptions for 147 yards and three receiving touchdowns. Plus, he also completed one pass for 15 yards, which also was for a touchdown.</p>
<p><b>Rankings Ramifications: </b>TCU will take a tumble and likely fall near the bottom of the polls. Iowa State is now 4-1 and will definitely receive more votes in the polls, and will be very close to being ranked.</p>
<p><b>But Did They Cover? </b>No. TCU<b> </b>was a 14.5-point favorite, and they lost.</p>
<p><b>Next Week's Schedule: </b>Iowa State will be hosting Kansas State on Oct. 13, and TCU travels to Baylor for a Oct. 13 start.</p>

<p>TCU outscored Iowa State 10-7 in the third and now trail 23-20 heading into the final quarter.</p> <p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/tcu-horned-frogs">TCU Horned Frogs</a> are struggling without starting quarterback <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/77347/casey-pachall">Casey Pachall</a> as they have been trailing against the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/iowa-st-cyclones">Iowa St. Cyclones</a> all afternoon. In the third quarter the Horned Frogs are making a comeback as they were able to outscore the Cyclones 10-7, and now only trail 23-20 heading into the final frame.</p>
<p>TCU did give up a touchdown to Iowa State early in the quarter which put them up 23-10, but then TCU went on a 10-0 run to make the game close.</p>
<p>The Horned Frogs were able to get their lone touchdown on a quick five-play, 48-yard drive that was capped off by a 1-yard touchdown run by Laderice Sanders. The touchdown was set up when <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/77346/skye-dawson">Skye Dawson</a> returned the kickoff 52 yards to the Cyclones' 48-yard line.</p>
<p>The other points in the quarter came on a deep 50-yard field goal near the end of the quarter by <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/161258/jaden-oberkrom">Jaden Oberkrom</a> to make it only a 3-point game.</p>

<p>Fueled by a couple of bad TCU turnovers, Iowa State leads the Horned Frogs by a touchdown at halftime.</p> <p>The Iowa State Cyclones hold a 16-10 halftime lead over the No. 15 <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/tcu-horned-frogs" class="sbn-auto-link">TCU Horned Frogs</a> at Amon G. Carter Stadium in Fort Worth, Texas. The Horned Frogs had a couple of opportunities to put additional points on the board, but two fumbles by freshman running back <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/161255/b-j-catalon" class="sbn-auto-link">B.J. Catalon</a> prevented that from happening.</p>
<p>The Frogs' defense stepped up and ensured that the Cyclones would not capitalize on the turnovers, as TCU forced Iowa State into three consecutive 3-and-outs. TCU did a better job taking care of the ball in its fourth possession of the quarter, putting together a 10-play, 59-yard drive that was capped off by a <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/161258/jaden-oberkrom" class="sbn-auto-link">Jaden Oberkrom</a> field goal.</p>
<p>TCU forced a bad pass from Iowa State quarterback <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/160547/jared-barnett" class="sbn-auto-link">Jared Barnett</a> with just over a minute left in the half, and the Frogs were rewarded with an interception. However, the Cyclones were able to come up with a big stop to keep TCU from getting any closer.</p>
<p>TCU freshman quarterback <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/135251/trevone-boykin" class="sbn-auto-link">Trevone Boykin</a> completed 12 of 19 passes for 131 yards and a touchdown in the half. Meanwhile, Barnett finished the half with 153 yards and two touchdowns, but wasn't able to do much of anything in the second quarter.</p>

<p>The Iowa State Cyclones hold a 16-7 lead over the No. 15 <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/tcu-horned-frogs" class="sbn-auto-link">TCU Horned Frogs</a> after the opening quarter of play at Amon G. Carter Stadium in Fort Worth, Texas.</p>
<p>TCU struggled behind freshman quarterback Trevone Boykin through most of the quarter, but the Frogs found the end zone with under two minutes remaining.</p>
<p>Iowa State got on the board quickly, as quarterback <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/160547/jared-barnett" class="sbn-auto-link">Jared Barnett</a> connected with <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/76336/josh-lenz" class="sbn-auto-link">Josh Lenz</a> for a 51-yard touchdown pass just over two minutes into the game. On the third play of TCU's ensuing possession, Boykin was intercepted <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/76333/jacques-washington" class="sbn-auto-link">Jacques Washington</a>, putting the ball right back into the Cyclones' hands. Iowa State would tack on a field goal to take a two-score lead.</p>
<p>Playing without suspended starting quarterback <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/77347/casey-pachall" class="sbn-auto-link">Casey Pachall</a> and injured running backs <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/77362/waymon-james" class="sbn-auto-link">Waymon James</a> and Matthew Tucker, the Horned Frogs were unable to do much of anything offensively until their third possession of the quarter. Boykin scrambled for a key first down to keep the drive alive, and the Frogs got on the board as Aundre Dean caught a forward option pass from Boykin and maneuvered into the end zone.</p>
<p>TCU left Lenz uncovered again on the following series, and Barnett found him again, this time for a 74-yard touchdown strike. <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/134047/edwin-arceo" class="sbn-auto-link">Edwin Arceo</a> missed the extra point, but the Cyclones regained their two-score advantage.</p>
<p>Barnett finished the quarter 7-of-8 for 153 yards and two scores. Meanwhile, Boykin accounted for 35 yards and a touchdown through the air.</p>

<p>Game information for the TCU Horned Frogs' matchup with the Iowa State Cyclones this Saturday. </p>
<p><a href="https://twitter.com/SBNationCFB" class="twitter-follow-button">Follow @SBNationCFB</a> !function(d,s,id){varjs,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js";fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document,"script","twitter-wjs");</p> <p>When the betting lines for the Saturday matchup between No. 15 TCU and Iowa State opened, the odds were heavily in favor of the Horned Frogs, as they were 14.5 point favorites. That gap has since closed by a touchdown after the arrest of TCU quarterback <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/77347/casey-pachall">Casey Pachall</a>.</p>
<p>With Pachall suspended and out for Saturday's game, the Horned Frogs will have to instead turn to redshirt freshman <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/135251/trevone-boykin">Trevone Boykin</a>, a dual threat quarterback who has seen very limited time so far this season. Appearing in three games with TCU, Boykin has completed 9-of-10 passes for 74 yards and touchdown, plus an additional 122 yards rushing with a touchdown on the ground.</p>
<p>Regardless of his past contributions though, he is an unknown commodity and will have a tough first task against the Iowa State Cyclones. After three straight wins to open the season, including one against their in-state rival <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/iowa-hawkeyes">Iowa Hawkeyes</a>, the Cyclones earned their first loss of the season as they were beat 24-13 by Texas Tech.</p>
<p>If Boykin can be anywhere near as efficient as Pachall has been in 2012, the Horned Frogs could be in good shape to improve to 5-0.</p>

<p>Suspended TCU quarterback Casey Pachall was going to suit up against Iowa State, but head coach Gary Patterson decided against it.</p> <p>Suspended <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/tcu-horned-frogs">TCU Horned Frogs</a> starting quarterback <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/77347/casey-pachall">Casey Pachall</a> was initially going to suit up for Saturday's game against the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/iowa-st-cyclones">Iowa State Cyclones</a>. However, head coach <a href="http://www.star-telegram.com/2012/10/05/4315035/suspended-tcu-quarterback-pachall.html" target="_blank">Gary Patterson decided against the move</a> on Friday morning, because he thought Pachall could end up being a distraction to his team dressed and on the sidelines.</p>
<p>Patterson initially wanted Pachall out there with his team on Saturday so that Pachall couldn't hide and would be with his team and give them support.</p>
<p>Pachall is suspended indefinitely after <a href="http://dallas.sbnation.com/tcu-horned-frogs/2012/10/4/3454578/casey-pachall-suspended-arrested-tcu-football" target="_blank">being arrested on a DWI</a> this past week. Patterson said he wouldn't decide the length of the suspension until after Saturday's game.</p>
<p>Starting in Pachall's place is freshman <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/135251/trevone-boykin">Trevone Boykin</a> who will be making his first career start this weekend. Saturday's game is also the Horned Frogs home opener against a Big 12 team.</p>

<p>With <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/tcu-horned-frogs">TCU Horned Frogs</a> quarterback <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/77347/casey-pachall">Casey Pachall</a> unlikely to suit up again this season following an arrest for driving while intoxicated and an indefinite suspension, SB Nation's <a href="http://www.frogsowar.com/">Frogs O' War</a> bloggers are worried, and rightfully so.</p>
<p>The junior signal caller has had a rough 2012 season after being arrested for DWI on Wednesday, suspended indefinitely by TCU head coach Gary Patterson on Thursday, and admitting a few months ago that he failed a drug test and used cocaine and ecstasy.</p>
<p>Redshirt freshman <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/135251/trevone-boykin">Trevone Boykin</a> is expected to take over at quarterback for the Frogs. In limited action in 2012, he's thrown for 79 yards and a touchdown on 9-of-10 passing, as well as 122 yards rushing on 12 carries. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.frogsowar.com/2012/10/4/3454772/what-does-pachalls-suspension-mean/in/3218321">Frogs O' War</a> contributor, Purple Wimple is a little concerned about the Frogs sans Pachall going forward:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>It's not going to be news that I think TCU was going to be underdogs most of the rest of the way. Pachall was going to read the defenses better than Boykin this season, and we'll miss that. But the win-loss totals may not show the difference; TCU has been setting itself up to lose plenty of games in 2012, with or without Pachall.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Fellow <a href="http://www.frogsowar.com/">FOW</a> contributor Fungo Frog is worried about Pachall's replacement, redshirt freshman <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/135251/trevone-boykin">Trevone Boykin</a> handling the offense in Pachall's absence against Iowa State on Saturday:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Iowa State is a good team with real talent, and Boykin is a real freshman with limited expierience (albeit, worlds of talent) who, even if he knows all the plays, hasn't seen more than 3-5 of them unfold against an oposing defefense. Freshman QBs dont understand check downs, they don't understand going to a second read, they don't understand leadership.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Kickoff for Saturday's No. 15 TCU vs. Iowa State game is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. CT.</p>
