Hicks, TCU throttle Iowa St.

FORT WORTH — Kyle Hicks ran for 117 yards including a 64-yard touchdown run and also scored on a 25-yard catch as TCU beat Iowa State 41-20 on Saturday in the Big 12 opener for both teams.

Turpin entered the game the national leader with 236 all-purpose yards per game.

The Cyclones, with first-year coach Matt Campbell, are 0-3 for the first time since 1997.
