FORT WORTH, Texas — Josh Hoover threw for 337 yards and four touchdowns, two to freshman Ed Small, and TCU beat Football Championship Subdivision member Abilene Christian 42-21 on Saturday night.

Joseph Manjack IV had 114 yards receiving for the Horned Frogs (2-0), who played their home opener almost two weeks after a 48-14 romp at North Carolina in coach Bill Belichick's ballyhooed debut with the Tar Heels.

Stone Earle threw for 276 yards and two touchdowns for the Wildcats (1-2), who had a much better offensive showing in their second meeting with an FBS opponent this season. ACU fell to 1-19 against FBS teams.

Small's first career TD was a one-armed grab near the back of the end zone for a 14-0 lead, and he finished off the first-half scoring with a 15-yard catch for a 28-0 lead. Sma
