He accumulated 295 all-purpose yards on Saturday night, giving him 472 all-purpose yards through the first two games of the season.

As it turned out, Turpin returned four kicks for 136 yards, a 34-yard average.
Remember, all TCU needed to do was stop him anywhere short of that goal line and Arkansas would’ve been faced with a field goal decision.
On paper, college football’s Week 2 slate wasn’t as enticing as the schedule from the opening weekend.
Arkansas marched down the field to begin the 4th quarter, but TCU managed to keep them out of the endzone. Another thing I noticed about Hicks in this game is that he was a total beast picking up the rush.
Kenny Hill should be the main factor in this game. He’s proving himself to be a legitimate three-down back. Only allowed six points, two field goals basically on defense in the first half … Not every offense that Arkansas faces will be as potent as the one they saw last night, but unless this squad improves greatly, almost every week will be a stomach churning affair.
With 1:49 remaining and Arkansas on the TCU 49-yard line, Allen was a flawless 4-for-4 passing, including the 16-yard score to wide receiver Keon Hatcher. If that offense shows up consistently, this team will be hard to beat.
TCU wide receiver Deante Gray (20) has his face mask grabbed by Arkansas defensive lineman Jeremiah Ledbetter (55) after a long run in the first half of an NCAA college football game, Saturday, Sept. 10, 2016, in Fort Worth, .
Sure, the referees missed a facemask call on Gray during the play. He also had two likely touchdowns dropped.
The teams traded touchdowns in the first overtime, but TCU made a fatal mistake in the second period. It was the cherry on top of what was arguably the worst offensive half TCU has had since Doug Meacham and Sonny Cumbie stepped foot on campus.
TCU defenders may get their first taste of a two-quarterback system from an opponent in Saturday’s game against Iowa State in Amon G. Carter Stadium (11 a.m., FS1).
Sophomore cornerback Pulley of Fort Meyers, Fla., started against TCU because starting cornerback Henre Toliver moved to nickel back with junior nickel Kevin Richardson lost for the season tearing pectoral muscles against Louisiana Tech. Part of that has to be attributed to being worn out, but there were also some major weaknesses exposed for the second week in a row. Legs churning, dedication emitting, Allen pressed forward.
Mississippi State 27, SC 14 • Nick Fitzgerald carried 17 times for 195 yards and passed for 178 yards and two touchdowns to lead the host Bulldogs (1-1, 1-0 SEC) by the Gamecocks (1-1, 1-1). At some points in the game he looked completely dominant. The bleeding is quite serious and we don’t know if he’s going to make it or not.
Like others, I thought the Razorbacks were being haunted by ghosts of the past when TCU took a 28-20 lead with about 2 minutes left to play. Did you not see what haughtiness gets you? He’s making the letter “K” in sign language, and the motion of his arm, which goes from his left shoulder down towards is right hip, is the sign for “kings” in American Sign Language.
Williams rushed 28 times for 137 yards, and he operated as the fulcrum of head coach Bret Bielema’s offense during a prosperous start.
That was a text I received from my friend Brad Clemons after Saturday night’s 41-38 double-overtime win over No. 15 TCU.

Here’s my take: He’s done it before and hasn’t been penalized, but now it’s time to stop.
