Gary Patterson becomes TCU's winningest coach

FORT WORTH, Texas -- The long-awaited Big 12 era for TCU is off to a nearly flawless start with a new stadium, an FBS record and the winningest coach in school history. Oh, and another shutout. Casey Pachall and Trevone Boykin combined to complete all 17 passes for TCU -- the most in FBS history without an incompletion -- and the 20th-ranked Horned Frogs scored on special teams and defense in a season-opening 56-0 victory over FCS team Grambling State on Saturday night. "I guess if you were going to script a first ball game, this is the way we'd want to do it," coach Gary Patterson said. After the game, Patterson was presented a crystal ball in recognition of his 110th career victory -- one more than Dutch Meyer, who led the Frogs to their only AP national championship in 1938. Patterson is 110-30 overall with 10 shutout victories one game into his 12th season.
