Texas Christian 45 - 31 S. Dakota St. (2:54 left in 3d Quarter)

OK, now this is more like it.  For the third time in three second-half possessions, the Frogs drive down the field and score.  This time, the touchdown comes on a 6-yard quarterback draw by new QB Kenny Hill of Southlake, Tex.  (He is a transfer from Texas A & M).  Hill is looking more and more like the legendary Trevone Boykin.  He is 10-12 in the second half so far.

Sure enough, the Frogs' defense steps up, and the Jacks go three-and-out.  They punt, and the Frogs will start from their own 18.

The Jacks take the kickoff and they will start from their own 22.  (That's what they call themselves -- they have the word "JACKS" over the numbers on the front of their jersey.

Last year, Texas Christian's defense tended to get better in the second half.  We'll see if that happens again.

Texas Christian takes the ball and zips down the field, scoring on 3d and goal thanks to a four-yard run from Kyle Hicks of Martin H.S. in Arlington, Tex.  Ryan Graf, of Culver Military Academy in Los Angeles tacks on the extra point.

Welcome back, UCFC fans!

SDSU takes the kickoff and drives down the field for an easy touchdown.  They score on a 16-yard pass from Taryn Christion (of Roosevelt H.S in Sioux Falls, S.D.) to Dallas Goedert (of Britton-Hecla H.S. in Britton, S.D.).  A kick from Chase Vinatieri (of Roosevelt H.S. in Sioux Falls, S.D.) ties the game.

And now here come the Jackrabbits, as SDSU hits a big pass down the middle and is already at the Texas Christian 40.

SDSU is wearing white jerseys with royal blue numbers and yellow trim.  They have royal blue pants with yellow stripes down the side.  They have a blue helmet.  On the right side of the helmet, each player has his number in yellow numerals.  The left side of the helmet features a big jackrabbit head.  It's a very unusual helmet.

Texas Christian is wearing white helmets with the usual TCU and horned frog logos.  They have purple jerseys with the usual military-style numerals in white.  They have white pants.  This is my favorite of the many looks the Frogs will sport over the course of a full season.
