He has 1,020 total yards in three career victories against the Panthers. Maybe the sidearm touchdown pass to Josh Doctson in the third quarter?

Trevone Boykin puts TCU ahead 14-0 with this #FlipSix! “They are pretty special people”.
It’s not just the TCU community that has been showing appreciation for either of the two.
When Boykin avoided a sack late in the third quarter, making a move that had linebacker Jared Barber flailing to the ground, he gained 11 yards before running out of bounds on the West Virginia sideline and having his moment with Holgorsen. “I could’ve started yelling at our guys, but what good is that going to do?”
“He’s just playing like a Heisman quarterback”, Doctson said. You’re also left with just three games until what would be an epic showdown with unbeaten and second-ranked Baylor in Fort Worth. “I probably could have done something about that”, Holgorsen said on radio as he left the field. “We also have a lot of freshmen who are stepping up”. They are a top 5 team, deservingly so, and we’re not.
Already up 7-0, TCU quarterback Trevone Boykin to the quarterback keeper from two yards out and finished an impressive touchdown run by flipping into the end zone and extending the Horned Frogs’ lead to 14-0.
Boykin has 12,041 total yards, breaking the previous record 11,925 held by Andy Dalton, the Cincinnati Bengals quarterback who led TCU to an undefeated season and Rose Bowl victory during the 2010 season.
Oberkrom helped TCU regain a few momentum going into the locker room with two more field goals, including a career-long 57-yarder as the half expired.
The defense did its part, too, causing West Virginia to either punt or turn the ball over on downs. The Mountaineers were whacked at Baylor 62-38 last Saturday.
The Frogs expected to have 6-foot-7 junior guard Kenrich Williams (8.6 points, 6.7 rebounds per game), their top returning rebounder.
“For the first time all year I didn’t feel we competed as hard as we could”, Holgorsen said.
Abby Faber and her family attended the fifth-ranked Horned Frogs’ game Thursday night against West Virginia. The Frogs know how to win, certainly.
The College Football Playoff committee will release their inaugural rankings of the season in the coming week and the polls were not friendly to the Frogs last weekend.
TCU fell from No. 4 to No. 5 despite being on a bye. On the road in places like Stillwater, where TCU goes next week, it’s meant surviving and, like Patterson said, outscoring teams.
