Josh Hoover passed for 267 yards and two scores and Cam Cook had three short scoring runs as TCU dominated the first half en route to a 45-0 win over visiting Long Island University on Saturday evening in Fort Worth, Texas.

The Horned Frogs improved to 2-0 as Hoover completed 20 of 25 passes for the game in TCU’s first shutout since 2017. He played into the fourth quarter, when he passed 18 yards to Chase Curtis for his second TD of the game and the contest’s final points.

Twelve different receivers caught passes in the win, led by Savion Williams’ six receptions for 69 yards. Cook rushed for 58 yards on 13 carries to pace TCU as the Horned Frogs racked up a 425-127 edge in total yardage.

Luca Stanzani, one of three quarterbacks rotated into the game by the Sharks (0-2), led his team with 60 yards passing. Long Island’s deepest penetration was the TCU 21 midway through the third quarter.

TCU lit the board with a 48-yard Kyle Lemmermann field goal on its initial possession at the 11:35 mark of the first quarter and never looked back. The Horned Frogs added to the lead with a 1-yard plunge by Cook with 7:50 to play in the period.

Hoover and JoJo Earle capped a 59-yard march by the Horned Frogs with a 5-yard scoring connection a minute and a half into the second quarter. TCU added touchdowns before the break on a 2-yard run by Dominique Johnson, then a 14-yard run by Cook that pushed the Horned Frogs’ lead to 31-0.

Hoover completed 15 of his 17 passes before halftime as TCU scored on five of its seven possessions, with the other two ending in a missed field goal and the end of the half.

Cook added his third rushing TD on the Horned Frogs’ opening possession of the third quarter, hammering home from the 5-yard line to expand TCU’s advantage to 38-0.

The Sharks didn’t run a play in TCU territory until the 5:16 mark of the third quarter. That drive ended with an interception by the Horned Frogs’ Namdi Obiazor at the TCU 14-yard line.
