FORT COLLINS, Colo. -- TCU quarterback Andy Dalton and his offensive mates didn't have one of their better days. The defense however had three touchdowns on the way to a 37 to 24 win for TCU over Colorado State.

TCU swarmed freshman CSU QB Pete Thomas and forced two interceptions for touchdowns and one fumble returned for a TD.

The Horned Frogs (4-1) were making their first trip outside of Texas this season, and struggled early trailing 7-9 at halftime.

The TCU defense came out in the second half with lots of pressure and LB Carter intercepted the ball on the first drive and returned it 13 yds for the TD. Daniels also picked up a fumble and ran 28 yards for a TD in the 3rd.
On offense for TCU Dalton completed 9 of 18 passes for 109 yards with 1 TD and 1 interception. Ed Wesley ran for 45 yards and a 1st quarter touchdown.

For the Rams Thomas was 20 for 39 with 319 yards passing with 2 TDs and 4 INT. Raymond Carter continues to look good on the ground with 21 touches for 114 yards and one TD.

"That's TCU defense," Wesley said. "It's always been like that and will continue to be for the rest of the season."

For the Frogs to stay strong in the polls they need a better offense performance as coming from a non AQ conference in the BCS aany bad performance is multiplied.

When Dalton was asked about his performance after the game he commented, "It's the end result that matters, I'm not in this to when an individual trophy I'm here to hoist a BCS bowl trophy with my teammates." Dalton fell out of the top five in the Heisman race following his poor performance.

Rams coach Drew Gill said,"Our offense looked impressive however, Thomas made a few rookie mistakes tonight, and aggainst a team like TCU, we really can't afford any mistakes."

Total offense was 426-215 in favour of the Rams, however the determining factor in the game is the 5 turnovers by CSU compared to 1 by TCU.

"All I can do is put this game behind me and focus on Air Force next week." Thomas said of his performance.
