The streak includes 2008 wins over New Mexico, Stephen F. Austin, Stanford, SMU, San Diego State, Colorado State, BYU, Wyoming and UNLV. The Horned Frogs' lone loss this season was a 35-10 setback in Oklahoma on Sept. 27.

It was also the low point in terms of point production.

The offense, however, has since gotten back on track. In three games since returning from a knee injury, quarterback Andy Dalton has nine touchdown passes and no interceptions. The consistency has helped TCU rack up 130 points over the stretch.

EXTRA POINTS: Utah leads the all-time series with TCU, 4-1. The Horned Frogs' lone win was a 23-20 overtime decision in Fort Worth in 2005. ... Standing-room only tickets have been sold, meaning attendance could top the school-record 46,768 who attended the Cal game in 2003. ... Men's basketball coach Jim Boylen is scheduled to address the crowd.
