TCU Scores Nine Touchdowns, Hammers Grambling 63-7
Nine touchdowns on nine tries at the end zone. TCU scored seven points on every one of its scoring plays, never missed an extra point, and beat Grambling 63-7 without ever being behind.
Major Everhart ran in from 8 yards with 12:21 left in the first quarter, and Jon Denman and Ka'Morreun Pimpton (on a 9-yard pass from Jaden Craig) made it 21-0 before Grambling answered. The answer came from Reginald Johnson to Byron Eaton Jr. from 7 yards with 4:25 left in the half, and it was Grambling's only score. Joe Pitchford ran in from a yard out to make it 28-7 at the break.
The second half was a parade. Craig threw 29 yards to Kari Ashley and 52 yards to Jeremy Scott in the third quarter, to make it 42-7 entering the fourth. Ashley caught another from 15 yards, Teon Parks returned an interception 67 yards for a touchdown, and Amante Martin ran in from 10 yards with 3:24 left to end it.
TCU had 677 total yards: 391 passing and 286 rushing on only 36 carries. It threw no interceptions and lost one fumble, and sacked the Grambling quarterbacks twice. Craig threw four of the nine touchdowns, four were runs (Everhart, Denman, Pitchford and Martin), and the ninth was Parks's pick-six. Take the pick-six off the board and it is still 56-7, so the result was not in doubt.
TCU is 1-1 and Grambling is 0-1. For fantasy, Craig scored 44.9 points, Ashley 30.9 and Scott 19.7, and all three came from the passing game.
