Ballard shines in Frogs' big win

One of the best byproducts of the Frogs' decisive 37-7 win over Northern Illinois in the Poinsettia Bowl was the publicity both the offense and defense received during and after the game. With the Mountain West Conference's inferior TV contract, not many fans have seen TCU play this year. The Frog D, whose ability is recognized in the Metroplex, allowed just 60 yards of total offense to the Huskies.

Offensively, Jeff Ballard was the star, although Lonta Hobbs reached the 100-yard mark for the first time all year. San Diego certainly took notice of Ballard, as did Union-Tribune columnist Tim Sullivan.
