TCU stayed within a touchdown of BYU for most of a rainy Oct. 3, 2026, meeting in Fort Worth, but the Cougars used a late scoring drive to secure a 17-10 win at Amon G. Carter Stadium.
Neither team scored in the opening quarter. BYU struck first in the second, then TCU answered with an eight-play, 76-yard march capped by a 13-yard touchdown pass. The score came with 27 seconds left before halftime, sending the teams into the break tied 7-7.
A 49-yard field goal gave BYU a 10-7 third-quarter edge. The Cougars then put together a 10-play, 72-yard possession lasting 5:55 and finished with a 21-yard touchdown run with 2:06 remaining.
TCU's 44-yard field goal with 32 seconds left cut the deficit to seven, but BYU recovered the ensuing onside kick to end the Horned Frogs' comeback chance.

Tyler Seguin is scheduled to return for Dallas’ opener against St. Louis, but Matt Duchene’s LTIR placement and Thursday recalls make adaptation unavoidable from the start.
