Walk-on receiver Derek Moore has only two games under his belt this season, but it is hard to argue that he hasn't already had a successful season.Success probably came with one pass - the touchdown reception that first put TCU on the scoreboard against Oklahoma. Moore not only put his name on the forefront of the statistic charts, but he helped put the Horned Frogs in the national spotlight with their victory in Norman, Okla.

"I was just excited," Moore said about his big play against the Sooners. "I never thought my second (career) catch would be for a touchdown."

"They lost everything. They lost it all."Vernon Russell, a junior cornerback from Gramercy, La., said he did not personally experience Hurricane Katrina, but members of his family, including his parents, lived in the area hit hardest by the hurricane.

Sophomore Franklin Corpening said he thought the team played pretty well.
