Pass Offense: Bo Wallace telegraphed a pair of interceptions during the first quarter and was constantly pressured, resulting in the worst "Bad Bo" day of his college career. The senior ended his final game 10-of-23 for 109 yards with zero touchdowns and three interceptions.

Run Offense: Ole Miss failed to sustain a rushing attack, leaving all the pressure on Wallace—and that didn't work out well. The Rebels managed a mere 14 yards on 37 attempts, which was unsurprisingly a season-worst total and average.

Pass Defense: Put simply, the vaunted Landsharks struggled. They weren't helped by Wallace's interceptions surrendering field position, but three 25-plus-yard passing touchdowns were the secondary's fault. Keith Lewis, Cody Prewitt and Senquez Golson managed an interception each.

Run Defense: Although Ole Miss wasn't gashed on the ground, it couldn't really stop TCU, either. On first down, the Rebels allowed a meager 2.8 yards per attempt. On the other snaps, however, the Frogs racked up 5.5 YPA.

Special Teams: Will Gleeson averaged 43.1 yards per punt and blasted a 65-yarder, but eight kicks against a lethal TCU team means the offense probably isn't getting it done. Gary Wunderlich missed a 52-yard field goal before connecting on a 27-yard attempt.

Coaching: Hugh Freeze was outclassed by Gary Patterson in all three phases. Defensive coordinator Dave Wommack struggled to find an answer for the Horned Frogs' combination of pace and speed.

Pass Offense: Trevone Boykin completed 22 of 31 passes for 188 yards and three scores. However, he launched a few unnecessary passes and could've been intercepted more than five times, though the junior finished with three. Wide receiver Kolby Listenbee opened the scoring with a 31-yard double pass.

Run Offense: Since Boykin was so effective through the air, TCU didn't need much from the running game. Aaron Green tallied 67 yards and one touchdown and Boykin added 65 yards, complementing a strong performance from the wideouts.

Pass Defense: Without Laquon Treadwell, the Ole Miss receivers were again lost. However, the TCU pass rush didn't allow Wallace to find a rhythm or be comfortable in the pocket, disrupting the senior quarterback to the tune of five sacks, three picks and numerous hits.

Run Defense: The Frogs forced Ole Miss into minus-four yards during the first half, which is impressive even with sacks factoring in. Chris Hackett, Derrick Kindred and James McFarland each recorded an interception, while Marcus Mallet forced and recovered a fumble.

Special Teams: Jaden Oberkrom buried six extra points but pushed a 41-yard field goal wide. The kick-coverage unit limited Ole Miss kick returns to 21.0 yards per return, and Ranthony Texada ripped off a 65-yarder following halftime.

Coaching: Offensive coordinator Doug Meacham's aggressiveness was commendable, despite one trick play resulting in a turnover. Most importantly, though, he kept attacking Ole Miss. The TCU defense, led by coordinator Dick Bumpus, had its best performance of the season.
