TCU’s football team handled the SMU Mustangs easily Saturday, like everyone else that’s played SMU has. But their 56-0 wasn’t the most impressive thing that happened in the college football game, it was this touchdown celebration between QB Trevone Boykin and his backup Zach Allen that has people wondering if it wins the best of the year.

Boykin and Allen ran up to each other, preparing for a shoulder bump, but stopped dead in their tracks, shook their heads and shook hands. The choreography was excellent.
TCU will go from Saturday’s 56-0 rout of the Mustangs to a home date next Saturday with No. 4 Oklahoma followed by a visit to No. 7 Baylor.
TCU (3-0) tuned up for the Sooners and Bears by running up 614 total yards with its new, up-tempo offense and holding SMU (0-4) without a touchdown for the third time this season. Trevone Boykin passed for four touchdowns and ran for two others.
The 56-0 victory was the most lopsided in the TCU-SMU series’ 94-game history dating to 1915. SMU has scored only one touchdown this season on a 33-yard hail Mary pass on the final play at North Texas on Sept. 6 and two field goals. Last in the FBS in both scoring offense and scoring defense, the Mustang have been outscored 202-12.
SMU quarterback Garrett Krstich made his first career start, the team’s third starter at the position this season. Fourth-string when the season began, Krstich was 14 for 30 for 142 yards, one interception and was sacked seven times.
TCU out-gained SMU on offense 614 yards to SMU’s 245.
