FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — TCU appears to have finally settled on a primary quarterback. True freshman Max Duggan made his second consecutive start Saturday and was near-flawless in a 51-14 victory over Kansas to open Big 12 play.
Duggan led touchdown drives on all three of his first-half possessions – helping TCU to a 38-0 halftime lead – and finished 8-for-11 passing for 100 yards and two touchdowns.

Duggan shared time with graduate transfer Alex Delton the first two games before playing all but one snap last week in a loss to rival SMU. Duggan likely would have played more against Kansas (he played only the first two possessions of the second half) had the Jayhawks ever threatened.
Instead, TCU (3-1, 1-0) dominated in every area of the first half against Kansas (2-3, 0-2), which ended a 48-game road losing streak to Power 5 opponents earlier this season at Boston College.

The Jayhawks had only 55 yards on 34 plays heading into the fourth quarter and lost their 46th consecutive Big 12 road game. Kansas’ last Big 12 road win came Oct. 4, 2008 at Iowa State.
“That is who we are,” Kansas first-year coach Les Miles said. “This program is not built in a day. It will take some work and we are ready to do that work.
“I did not lose spirit in this team, and I don’t think this team did either. It was a man’s chore to get that team stopped.”

TCU was locked in from the opening kickoff, coming off a home loss to rival SMU a week ago that knocked the Horned Frogs out of the Top 25. TCU had some extra motivation as well after losing last year at Kansas.
“Everybody was practicing hard this week,” TCU cornerback Jeff Gladney said, “and you could tell.”
Delton replaced Duggan midway through the second quarter with the Horned Frogs in full control at 28-0. Delton, who played last year at Kansas State, led TCU on two scoring drives to end the first half. The Horned Frogs scored on every first-half possession.

Kansas: The Jayhawks were overmatched in every phase and didn’t show much fight after a dismal first quarter. Quarterback Carter Stanley struggled with his accuracy, finishing 12-for-29 passing for only 84 yards.
TCU: Patterson must have gotten the Horned Frogs’ attention in practice this week. TCU converted all 10 of its third-down attempts in the first half. TCU made it look easy all day despite missing four receivers with injuries.

Some high school football scores provided by Scorestream.com, https://scorestream.com/

Clay Center rushed for 378 yards enroute to a 38-26 football victory over Chapman Friday night.

Irish coach Kurt Webster said Clay Center is a very good football team. He noted Chapman is playing a lot of sophomores on defense. “Defensively they’ve got to learn to run and tackle. ” Webster said Chapman hasn’t punted the football in three weeks on offense. “So we’re moving the ball alright, we’ve just got to get stops.”

On offense Webster said Trevor Erickson  is averaging about 100 yards per game rushing, and threw a 58-yard touchdown pass against Clay Center. Sophomore fullback Eli Riegel ran for three touchdowns in a recent win over Abilene. On the offensive line Kel Stroud has been a standout.

Chapman ( 1-3 ) goes to Rock Creek next Friday night.

The Kansas City Royals will play the Minnesota Twins at 1:15 p.m. Saturday at Kauffman Stadium. The game had originally been scheduled for 6:15 p.m. but is being moved up due to the likelihood of rain Saturday night.

The Royals said tickets for the original Saturday night game are still valid for the afternoon game. If you purchased tickets for the evening contest but can’t attend due to the time change you will be mailed a voucher for a 2020 regular season game, but opening day will be excluded.

The Royals lost to Minnesota 6-2 on Friday night. The game was called early due to inclement weather. The teams played through the top of the 7th before a rain delay, and then the game was called.

The Fort Riley Middle School Troopers football team split two games in football with Anthony Middle School of Manhattan.

According to coach Bob Shefelton the Troopers won the 7th grade contest 36-6 but lost the 8th grade game 48-6 on Thursday.
