TCU Alums Bob Dixon and Cathy Johnson celebrated recent birthdays at the TCU-Iowa State Midnite Madness tailgate.

(photos above and below) Ominous clouds threatened prior to the TCU-Iowa State game, but it turned out to be a beautiful evening for a football game at Amon G. Carter Stadium.

During pre-game ceremonies, a tribute was given in memory of Celia Baquin Arozamena, an Iowa State golfer who recently was murdered in Ames, and also to former TCU football player Phil Taylor, who recently passed away after a battle with cancer.

The TCU-Iowa State football game was a highlight of Family Weekend on the TCU Campus.

(photos above and below) TCU Alum and professional golfer Angela Stanford was honored during the TCU-Iowa State football game. She was the featured celebrity in the traditional Riff-Ram video and she was honored on the field for recently winning her first major tournament, the Evian Championship, on the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) tour. With Charles Coody capturing the 1971 Masters and Angela Stanford the 2018 Evian Championship, TCU is one of only 14 schools nationally to have a men’s and women’s golfer win majors on the PGA and LPGA tours. Watch the Riff-Ram video: here

The group was honored in a formal ceremony and banquet two days prior to the football game. Former inductees (back row) were in attendance to honor the new inductees.

(photos above and below) TCU's offense managed only 299 total yards (117 rushing and 182 passing) and one touchdown against Iowa State. TCU quarterback Shawn Robinson (#3) completed 21 of 29 passes, with one touchdown.

The Horned Frogs and quarterback Shawn Robinson continued their turnover trend against Iowa State. Robinson lost a fumble when sacked (photo above) and was intercepted once, by Iowa State defensive back Braxton Lewis (#33, photo below). The interception was Robinson’s fifth of the year and his eighth turnover of the season.

TCU true freshman receiver Taye Barber (#4, photo above) caught a 10-yard touchdown pass from Shawn Robinson on this play in the second quarter. The score tied the game, 7-7.

The Horned Frogs managed only 117 rushing yards against the Cyclones. TCU running back Sewo Olonilua (#33, photo above) was the Frogs' leading ball carrier, gaining 66 yards on 16 carries.

(photos above and below) In the fourth quarter, TCU quarterback Shawn Robinson was injured when after a short run he was tackled hard. He had to be helped off the field and into the locker room. His injury has not been revealed and his status is unknown for the Frogs' next game, which is against Texas Tech, on Thursday, October 11, in Amon G. Carter Stadium.

TCU receiver-return man KaVontae Turpin (#25, above) also was injured in the Iowa State game, on a vicious hit by Iowa State defensive back Datrone Young (#25, photo below). The play was reviewed for a targeting penalty on Young, but after watching the replay the officials ruled that there was no targeting on the play. Turpin received stitches and is expected to be ready for the Texas Tech game on October 11.

In the hard-hitting game, TCU receiver Jalen Reagor (#1) had to be tended to on the TCU sideline. He supposedly should be ready to play against Texas Tech.

Iowa State quarterback Zeb Noland (#4, photos above and below) only completed 14 of 28 passes for 79 yards and one touchdown. TCU defensive end L.J. Collier (#91, photos above and below) recorded a career-high five tackles, topping his previous best of four, which he reached on three previous occasions and most recently last week at Texas. Defensive tackle Terrell Cooper (#95, photo above) had one quarterback hurry in the game.

Iowa State running back David Montgomery (#32) ran the ball 21 times for 101 yards, including this one-yard TD run with less than eight minutes remaining in the fourth quarter that tied the game, 14-14.

Iowa State running back David Montgomery (#32) suffered an arm injury in the game against TCU. The seriousness of the injury and his status have not been announced by the Cyclones.

Despite being defended by TCU safety Vernon Scott (#26, photo above), Iowa State tight end Charlie Kolar (#88, photos above and below) caught a three-yard touchdown pass on this play in the second quarter to give the Cyclones a 7-0 lead. Kolar was shaken up on the play but was able to walk off the field and return to action later in the game.

The Frogs recorded their first turnover in the past three games. Just 49 seconds into the third quarter, safety Innis Gaines blitzed and knocked the football from the hands of Iowa State quarterback Zeb Noland. TCU defensive end Ben Banogu (#15) scooped up the football and returned it 47 yards for a touchdown. The score put TCU into the lead, 14-7.

TCU linebacker/defensive end Ty Summers (#42, photos above and below) had a season-high nine tackles against Iowa State, moving him into third place on TCU's career tackles list in the tenure of Patteson. Summers' 296 stops only trail former teammate Travin Howard (343, 2014-17) and Jason Phillips (315, 2005-08).

Against Iowa State, TCU linebacker Garret Wallow (#30) reached double digits in tackles for the second consecutive game, tying his career high with 11 stops, which he first accomplished on September 22 at Texas. Wallow also had his second sack of the season. Wallow leads the Frogs with 39 tackles.

With 37 seconds left in the game, TCU kicker Jonathan Song (#46) kicked a 28-yard field goal that proved to be the difference in a 17-14 win for TCU over Iowa State.
