' The Horned Frogs, who during spring practice used an outing to a Texas bowling alley to get better acquainted with first-yea- r coach Dennis Franchione, captured their first bowl victory in 41 years Thursday with a 28-1victory over Southern Cal in the Sun Bowl. Tailback Basil Mitchell ran for 185 yards and two touchdowns and the Horned Frogs held the Trojans ) to a Sun Bowl-recor- d minus-2- 3 yards to produce another upset in the 1998 bowl lineup. "It's a big day for us. You couldn't buy what happened for us today," said Franchione, who last December took over a TCU program that fired Pat Sullivan after a season. , TClTs option offense and its dpfense buried the Trojans early, producing a 28-- lead early in the third quarter. Forced to the ajr, USC struck back with 17 straight points before TClTs defense killed a Trojans drive and seized momentum. "We had to get away from the running game because we got behind so quickly" USC coach Paul Hackett said. "TCU's speed and agility on defense really surprised us." TCU, during the regular season and no better than a .500 team in the Mountain Division of the Western Athletic Conference, scored on its first three possessions. "It doesn't matter what conference you play in," said Mitchell, who ran for 1,100 yards during the season. "You have to come out here and play. I knew we could move the ball, but I didn't know we could do it that way." The Sun Bowl victory climaxed the Horned Frogs' 6-- 5 - 9 (8-5- 3 impressive turnaround under Franchione, who last year led New Mexico to its first bowl game in 36 years. He worked the same magic in Fort Worth and led the Horned Frogs to their first bowl victory since in the beating Syracuse 28-2- 7 1957 Cotton Bowl. "W started the season with very little respect," Franchione said. This has not been an unusual situation for us and we responded well. You only earn respect, it isn't given to you." USC freshman quarterback Carson Palmer conceded the Trojans didn't think much of : TCU before the game. "We definitely took TCU for granted," Palmer said. "We thought we could do pretty much what we wanted, but they really shut us down. I was surprised when we couldn't run the football. I couldn't believe it when they scored their fuVi touchdown. ... i was shocked w hen it was 21-0.- South?
