TCU held Virginia’s new spread offense to seven first downs Saturday, and the No. 16 Horned Frogs breezed to a 30-14 victory in their season opener.
Virginia (0-2) largely avoided the turnover problems that led to their opening loss to William & Mary, but couldn’t get anything going against the stout TCU defense.
