West Virginia Dominates TCU; Frogs Rest Up for Kansas

TCU's Gary Patterson (left) has not beaten West Virginia's Neal Brown.

TCU’s fall semester ends on Tuesday, November 24.

Students will be gone from the campus until after 2020 becomes history.

TCU quarterback Max Duggan and his offensive teammates decided to end the semester early.

Their flight was evident in West Virginia’s 24-6 victory over the Horned Frogs on Saturday, November 14, in Morgantown, West Virginia (Midnite predicted a 24-17 West Virginia victory).

The six points are the fewest points TCU has scored in a game in four years.

It is the first time since 2018 that the Mountaineers have not allowed an opponent to score a touchdown.

Kelsey Patterson, wife of TCU head coach Gary Patterson, tweeted that the Frogs’ game against West Virginia was the first TCU football game in 18 years that she had not seen in person.

She didn’t miss much, at least offensively.

It was a different story for Gary Patterson.

He missed TCU’s offense.

And, probably even more so, he missed Kelsey’s comforting presence after the loss.

It can be lonely in Morgantown, even on picture-perfect Saturday afternoons for college football.

Thus, after the Frogs’ humiliating loss, Patterson wrote a song. Listen: here

West Virginia head coach Neal Brown, had it much easier than Patterson, as his West Virginia team had a much easier time on the gridiron than the Frogs.

After his Mountaineers’ dominating victory over TCU, Brown and his players merely listened to their favorite song. Listen: here

With the loss in their first game outside of Texas this season, the Frogs’ two-game winning streak was crushed. TCU fell to 3-4 overall, and in the Big 12. They are 2-1 on the road, 1-3 at home.

The Frogs have not won three in a row since the end of 2018 season, when they beat Baylor and Oklahoma State to close out the regular season, then beat Cal during the postseason, in the Cheez-It Bowl, which then was played in Arizona.

TCU last had a three-game winning streak during the regular season in 2017. The Frogs won their first seven games of the season, on their way to an 11-3 record, which included a loss to No. 2 Oklahoma in the Big 12 Championship game, and a win over No. 13 Stanford in the Alamo Bowl.

The Mountaineers improved to 5-3 overall, 4-3 in the Big 12.

West Virginia has won three straight over the Frogs, and four of the last six games between the two teams. 

Going back to the 2017 season, TCU now is 26-20 overall, 17-17 in Big 12 games. 

The Frogs are 6-10 in their last 16 Big 12 games. 

Since 2018, TCU has won 10 of its last 25 Big 12 games. In 14 of the 15 losses, the Frogs scored less than 28 points.

Patterson now is 0-8 over the last eight games against four of the new, young coaches in the Big 12: Oklahoma’s Lincoln Riley, Iowa State’s Matt Campbell, Kansas State’s Chris Klieman, and West Virginia’s Neal Brown. 

Losing to Riley and the Sooners is frustrating, but understandable. Oklahoma long has been a dominate force in the Big 12 and nationally.

The Sooners have won five straight Big 12 conference titles, including in 2017, when they beat TCU, 41-17, in the Big 12 Conference Championship game. 

Going back to the first game between the two teams in 1944, TCU has won five of the 21 games it has played against Oklahoma.

Six straight losses over the 2019 and 2020 seasons to Iowa State, Kansas State and West Virginia is telling. It’s also inexcusable and unacceptable.

Victories over TCU by those three teams should be an anomaly, rather than a regular happening.

Horned Frogs fans have noticed the team’s slide. And now, even those on the fringes of the program are wondering aloud about what is going on in Horned Frogs Nation.

During halftime of Fox’s telecast of the West Virginia-TCU game, retired three-time national champion college football coach Urban Meyer, who now is a college football TV analyst, said he was perplexed by what is going on with TCU’s football program.

“TCU, on paper, is the third-best team in the Big 12,” said Meyer. “You go back and just look at the recruiting rankings, look at the fact that within three hours of the Fort Worth campus, you have the best players in America right there. Then you’ve got West Virginia.

“TCU is getting out-coached right now. West Virginia is doing a heckuva job because just purely on paper TCU is a better job, better talent to recruit from. What in the world is going on? You know they’ve got a great coach in Gary Patterson, but there’s something going on. My gosh, they beat Texas earlier in the year and they just look … is something wrong with TCU right now? They just don’t look right.”

A couple of days after the game, Patterson said Meyer's opinion of the program isn't one that he's putting much stock into.

"I can't worry about what Urban Meyer says. He got out of coaching,” Patterson was quoted as saying.

South Carolina football fans no longer have to worry about the Gamecock’s future under the direction of Will Muschamp.

Muschamp’s tenure that had spanned five seasons with South Carolina came to an abrupt end when he was fired mere hours after the Gamecocks suffered a 59-42 loss on Saturday, the 14th, to Southeastern Conference (SEC) rival Mississippi, 59-42.

The loss to the Rebels was South Carolina’s fifth loss in seven games this season. Mississippi racked up 708 yards of offense, including 513 through the air, against the Gamecocks.

Muschamp was 28-30 as head coach of South Carolina.

Strange things continue to happen to the 2020 college football schedule.

Fifteen games were not played this past weekend because of the coronavirus, and games continue to be cancelled as COVID-19 again surges across the country as people try to go about their daily routines.

Within the SEC, because of coronavirus cases, Texas A&M has canceled its game with Mississippi that was scheduled for this Saturday. 

One has to wonder if the cancellation indeed is because of virus infections, or whether Aggies head coach Jimbo Fisher just wanted to give his defense additional time to prepare for the high-potency Rebels offense.

No. 12 Miami of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) will not play again until December 5 because of positive COVID-19 tests and subsequent quarantining of Hurricanes. 

Miami's game scheduled for Saturday against Georgia Tech was rescheduled for December 19, the Hurricanes’ November 28 game at Wake Forest was moved to December 5, and a December 5 game against North Carolina was pushed to December 12.

Because of injuries and virus cases, Troy canceled its Saturday contest with No. 15 Coastal Carolina.

Within the D/FW Metroplex, the University of North Texas’ game at UAB that was scheduled for last Saturday was canceled. North Texas hasn’t played since October 17.

Because of the virus and a bye week for Clemson, No. 2 Notre Dame was the highest-ranked team that played last Saturday.

The Irish beat Boston College, 45-31, a week after their upset of then-No. 1 Clemson in South Bend.

Indiana beat Michigan State, 24-0, in Lansing, Michigan. It is the Hoosiers’ first win over Michigan State since 2016, their first shutout of the Spartans since 1993, and their first win in Lansing since 2001.

Indiana, 4-0, ascended to ninth place in this week’s Associated Press top 25 poll. It is the Hoosier’s highest ranking for football since 1967.

All was not joyful for the Hoosiers, however. During the game with the Spartans, Indiana linebacker Thomas Allen, son of Hoosiers head coach Tom Allen, suffered a serious leg injury. He had to be carted off the field.

In a battle of winless Big 10 schools, Nebraska beat Penn State, 30-23. The Nittany Lions have the dubious distinction of being the Big 10’s only winless team.

Within the Pac 12 Conference, UCLA beat Cal, 34-10, in the Rose Bowl, on Sunday, after both of the teams' regularly scheduled games on Saturday against Utah and Arizona State, respectively, were canceled because of coronavirus cases within the Utes’ and Sun Devils programs. Even Arizona State head coach Herm Edwards tested positive for the virus.

During its first two weeks of activity, the Pac 12, had six teams and seven games adversely affected by the coronavirus. And the league has canceled this Saturday's scheduled game between Arizona State and Colorado.

The best team in the Metroplex, then-No. 19 SMU, lost, 28-24, to Tulsa. The Golden Hurricane scored 14 unanswered points in the fourth quarter to complete a comeback from 21 points down. 

The Ponies fell to 7-2. Tulsa improved to 4-1.

The win over SMU was Tulsa’s second win over a top 25 team this season. Over the previous 40 years, Tulsa only had beaten two top 25 teams.

In this week’s Associated Press poll, Tulsa is ranked 25th. It is Tulsa’s first top 25 ranking since 2010.

SMU’s scheduled home game against Houston this Saturday has been postponed because of COVID-19 issues within the Cougars’ program.

This marks the fifth time since the season began that the Cougars have had a game canceled or moved because of virus issues. Houston lost its entire slate of September games because of virus-related postponements.

This is the second postponement SMU has endured; the other was its September 11 game at TCU, because of coronavirus issues within the Horned Frogs’ program.

On Saturday, then No. 16 Marshall commemorated the 50th anniversary of the worst disaster in U.S. sports history with a 42-14 home over Middle Tennessee on Saturday.

On November 14, 1970, a plane crash killed 75 people onboard, including most of the Marshall football team. The crash occurred as the team's plane was returning from a game at East Carolina. There were no survivors.

Against Middle Tennessee, Marshall wore special black uniforms and the No. 75 on its helmets to honor those who died.

In the SEC, Kentucky honored offensive line coach John Schlarman, two days after he died after a long battle with cancer, by lining up without a left guard and taking a delay of game penalty on the first play from scrimmage in the Wildcats' 38-35 victory over Vanderbilt on Saturday.

Vanderbilt participated in the tribute by declining the penalty.

Kentucky senior left tackle Landon Young came in on the next play, wearing Schlarman's No. 65 jersey.

Schlarman was a four-year starter at Kentucky from 1994 to 1997, before going into coaching.

Within the Big 12 last Saturday, Baylor claimed the conference’s crown for worst team not-named Kansas. The Bears fell to 1-5, thanks to a 24-23 loss at Texas Tech.

The Red Raiders won the game on the last play of the game, a 25-yard field goal by Jonathan Garibay, in his first game as Tech’s kicker.

Colorado wide receiver Brenden Rice, son of Pro Football Hall of Fame wide receiver Jerry Rice, scored his first career touchdown on Saturday at Stanford. Rice's touchdown gave the Buffaloes a 28-9 lead over the Cardinal. Colorado won, 35-32.

Colorado State lost, 52-21 on the blue turf at Boise State.

In the first half, the Rams had two punts and one field goal blocked and returned for touchdowns. In the fourth quarter, the Broncos scored a fourth non-offensive touchdown, via a fumble recovery.

Even though the Rams lost to the Broncos, Colorado State out-gained Boise State, 315 yards to 291 yards.

In its loss to West Virginia, TCU was outgained, 392 yards to 295 yards.

The Mountaineers had 212 passing yards, to TCU’s 161 yards, and 180 rushing yards, to TCU’s 134 yards

Patterson may not be worried about what somebody like Meyer thinks about the Frogs, but he should be worried about TCU’s offense, and the coaches on the staff who are charged with overseeing its production: special assistant to the head coach Jerry Kill, offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach Sonny Cumbie, and inside receivers/tight ends coach Doug Meacham.

On the strength of several excellent rushing games, the Frogs still have the Big 12’s third-ranked rushing offense. TCU averages 177.3 rushing yards per game, which ranks behind only Iowa State and Oklahoma State.

On the other hand, the Horned Frogs’ passing offense is ninth in the conference, with an average of 204.4 passing yards per game. In the Big 12, only Kansas has a worst passing offense.

The last time TCU played in Morgantown was on November 10, 2018. The Frogs fell to the Mountaineers, 47-10.

Thus, the Frogs have been outscored 71-16 in their last two trips to the mountains of West Virginia.

TCU trailed West Virginia 14-3 at the half. The three points are the least scored by the Frogs in a half this season.

The six points TCU scored against the Mountaineers are its fewest points since 2016, when Meacham was first on TCU’s coaching staff, as co-offensive coordinator. 

During the 2016 season: TCU lost to No. 12 West Virginia, in Morgantown, 34-10, in the seventh game; lost to No. 13 Oklahoma State, 31 to 6, in Fort Worth, in the 10th game; and lost to Kansas State 30-6, in Fort Worth, in the 12th game.

The Frogs went 6-7 in 2016. That season was the last season Meacham was TCU’s co-offensive coordinator, during his initial time on the coaching staff. He was an offensive coach on the Kansas staff beginning with the 2017 season.

In 2017, TCU went 10-2 during the regular season, including a 43-0 win over Kansas in Fort Worth. The Frogs were beaten, 41-17, by No. 2 Oklahoma in the Big 12 championship game. They beat No. 13 Stanford, 39-27, in the Alamo Bowl.

The Frogs this season have their second-lowest scoring average since 2016. They are averaging 24 points a game, which is ninth in the Big 12. Only Kansas scores less than TCU. The Jayhawks are averaging 15.1 points per conference game.

In 2016, TCU averaged 31 points a game. In 2017, the Frogs scored 33.6 points a game. TCU averaged 23.5 points a game in 2018. In 2019, the average was 30.3 points a game.

Against West Virginia, true freshman running back Kendre Miller made his first career start. He was TCU’s leading rusher, with 58 yards on eight carries.

Even as a quarterback, Duggan began the game with the conference’s fourth-best per-game rushing average. West Virginia held him to 19 net rushing yards and sacked him once.

Thanks to defensive pressure by the Mountaineers and his continued struggles with accuracy, Duggan completed only 16 of 29 passes.

Many Horned Frogs fans are speculating that Duggan’s struggles with his passing accuracy are being caused by an injury, possibly to his throwing hand, arm or shoulder.

Through TCU’s first four games of the season, Duggan was completing 70 percent of his passes. He surpassed 200 passing yards in three-of-the-four games.

Over the last three games, the sophomore only has completed 55 percent of his passes and in each of the three games he has failed to pass for at least 200 yards.

Patterson denies that Duggan has an injury. However, even if Duggan does have an injury, it would not be divulged by Patterson.

Two particular passes by Duggan against the Mountaineers epitomized the sophomore’s struggles.

Midway through the third quarter, on a third-down-and-goal play from the West Virginia 14-yard line, receiver Taye Barber broke free from coverage and was wide open in the endzone.

An easy touchdown pass for any collegiate quarterback, much less a Big 12 quarterback, Duggan, without being under pressure, inexplicably airmailed the pass out of the back of the endzone.

TCU had to settle for its second field goal of the game.

Those three points would be the Frogs’ final points of the game, because of Duggan’s second ugliest pass of the game, which also happened when the Frogs were threatening to score.

Trailing 21-6, with just under four minutes left in the game, TCU had a second-and-goal from the West Virginia eight-yard line. A touchdown by the Frogs could make the ending of the game interesting.

Instead, Duggan threw a pass directly into the hands of West Virginia linebacker Tykee Smith at the one-yard line.

Smith returned the interception to the West Virginia 43-yard line to seal the victory for the Mountaineers.

The interception was Smith’s second of the year. His 42-yard return was the longest interception return of the season in the Big 12. Smith was named Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week.

An earlier turnover by the Frogs led to West Virginia’s third touchdown of the day.

Still in the game with a deficit of only 17-6 as the fourth quarter began, TCU’s defense held West Virginia’s offense deep within the Mountaineers’ territory. Unfortunately, the resulting punt by West Virginia’s Tyler Sumpter was fumbled by the Frogs’ Trevon Moehrig and recovered by the Mountaineers at the TCU 42-yard line.

Two plays later, West Virginia quarterback Jarret Doege connected with T.J. Simmons on a 38-yard touchdown pass and the Mountaineers had a 24-6 lead and firm control of the game.

Simmons, who had a 26-yard touchdown reception in the second quarter, led all receivers in the game with 90 receiving yards and an average of 22.5 yards per catch. The touchdowns were his first two scoring catches of the season. He was named the Big 12’s Offensive Player of the Week.

TCU’s defense held its own for much of the day, with the exception of the two long touchdown passes, and a nearly eight-minute, 15-play, 99-yard touchdown drive by West Virginia on its first possession of the game.

With the extra-point kick, those early seven points were all that West Virginia needed to beat the Frogs.

After the game, Patterson was asked how it felt for his defense to give up a 99-yard touchdown drive after such a superb punt.

“What would you like if someone took your girlfriend? It feels about the same way,” Patterson said. “It was all our fault. Defensively it was all our fault.”

The Frogs’ defense had two sacks, but failed to produce a takeaway.

TCU senior linebacker Garret Wallow and Moehrig tied for team-high honors with 10 tackles each. Moehrig's 10 stops was a career high. Wallow was in double figures in tackles for the third time in the last five games and 13th time in his career.

Freshman defensive end Khari Coleman had two tackles for loss, giving him at least one stop for negative yards for the fifth time in his six games this season. His team-best 9.5 tackles for loss on the season top all freshmen nationally. His play recently earned him a spot on the Ted Hendricks Award Watch List.

Redshirt defensive tackle Earl Barquet recorded a sack for the third consecutive game, marking every contest he's played in his TCU career.

Senior defensive end Parker Workman had his second sack of the season.

TCU kicker Griffin Kell accounted for the Frogs’ six points on a pair of 32-yard field goals. He is 10-of-14 on the season.

Punter Jordy Sandy continued his excellent punting. He placed two punts inside the 10-yard line, including the one that died at West Virginia’s one-yard line.

Sandy leads the Big 12 with 17 punts inside the 20-yard line this season. He has eight punts inside the 10-yard line. He has five punts of 50-plus yards and ranks fourth in the conference with an average of 41.8 yards per punt.

And, as you’d expect, considering the Frogs’ offensive struggles, Sandy has punted more times than any other punter in the conference. He has punted 41 times through seven games.

TCU has a much-needed bye this Saturday, November 21.

The Frogs’ next scheduled game is against Kansas, in Lawrence, Kansas, at 7 pm (Central), on Saturday, November 28, following Thanksgiving and the official end of TCU’s fall semester. FS1 will broadcast the game.

To finish above .500 for the season, TCU must win against Kansas and win its last regularly scheduled game, which is against Oklahoma State on Saturday, December 5, in Fort Worth.

There still is a possibility TCU will add a 10th game to its regular season, to make up for its cancelled season-opener against SMU. If such a game is added, it probably would be played on December 12.

TCU could play in a bowl game, even if the Frogs end the regular season with a losing record. The NCAA has waived bowl-eligibility requirements this year because of the coronavirus pandemic.

The trip to Kansas will be TCU’s second consecutive and final regular-season trip outside of Texas. It also will be the Frogs’ first night game of the season.

Although the game still is scheduled to be played, it will be affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

University of Kansas Chancellor Doug Girod and Director of Athletics Jeff Long have announced that due to the current COVID-19 climate the Kansas Pandemic Medical Advisory Team has recommended that the school not host fans at its home athletics competitions for the remainder of November.

Thus, David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium will be empty for the TCU-Kansas game. It will be the first such environment for the Horned Frogs this season.

Kansas is 0-7 overall, 0-6 in the Big 12, in head coach Les Miles’ second season at the helm of the Jayhawks. Last season, Kansas was 3-9 overall, 1-8 Big 12.

Prior to joining the Kansas football program, Miles was head coach at LSU from 2005 to 2016. LSU won the national championship in 2007.

Miles was in the Big 12, as head coach at Oklahoma State, from 2001 to 2004.

This season, the Jayhawks have lost to: Coastal Carolina, 38-23; Baylor, 47-14; Oklahoma State, 47-7; West Virginia, 38-17; Kansas State, 55-14; Iowa State, 52-22; and Oklahoma, 62-9.

Prior to its game against TCU, Kansas was scheduled to play the University of Texas, on Saturday, November 21, in Lawrence.

That game, however, has been postponed, due to a combination of injuries and COVID-19 issues within the Jayhawks' program. The game has been rescheduled for December 12.

TCU is 7-1 against KU since joining the Big 12.

A 20-6 TCU victory over Kansas, in Lawrence, in 2012, marked the Horned Frogs' inaugural Big 12 game.

TCU’s lone Big 12-loss to the Jayhawks, 27-26, came in the Frogs’ last trip to Lawrence, on October 27, 2018.

In that game, sophomore quarterback Mike Collins made his first TCU career start.

The Frogs amassed nearly 200 more yards of total offense than the Jayhawks, but a late-game touchdown by Kansas and two TCU second-half turnovers, including a fumble at the Kansas seven-yard line by Darius Anderson with just over a minute left in the game, doomed the Frogs.

Last year, in its fourth game of the season, TCU shellacked Kansas, 51-14, in Fort Worth. 

The Frogs jumped out to a 38-0 halftime lead and never looked back in winning their third game of the season. TCU gained 625 total yards; 306 through the air, and 319 on the ground. Kansas gained only 159 total yards.

Patterson is 1-1 against Miles.

In TCU's 2013 season-opener, Miles' No. 12 LSU team defeated No. 20 TCU, 37-27, in the Cowboys Classic at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Patterson, of course, is a Kansas native. He was a strong safety and outside linebacker at Kansas State.

Doug Meacham, TCU's inside receivers/tight ends coach, was offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach for Kansas during the 2017 and 2018 seasons. Meacham was fired in October of the 2018 season. 

Kansas not only is at the bottom of the Big 12 standings, the Jayhawks, as could be expected, are at or near the bottom of all of the conference’s offensive and defensive rankings.

Kansas is last in scoring offense and scoring defense, scoring an average of 15.1 points per game, and giving up an average of 48.4 points per game.

The 339 points Kansas has given up through seven games is the second-most points allowed in the country.

Kansas is last in total yardage offense and total yardage defense, averaging 264.4 total yards per game, and allowing an average of 468.6 total yards per game.

The Jayhawks are ninth in rushing offense and last in rushing defense, averaging 113 rushing yards per game, and giving up an average of 213.7 rushing yards per game.

Kansas is last in passing offense and eighth in passing defense, averaging 151.4 passing yards per game, and giving up an average of 254.9 passing yards per game.

The Jayhawks' offense has given up 38 sacks. Kansas has fumbled the football nine times, losing three of them.

KU has played two quarterbacks this season.

Freshman quarterback Jalon Daniels (#17) has played in six games. He has completed 72 of 139 passes for 661 yards. He has not thrown a touchdown pass. He has been intercepted four times. He has rushed 68 times for a net 36 yards and three touchdowns.

Junior quarterback Miles Kendrick (#3) has played in five games. He has completed 45 of 73 passes for  379 yards. He has thrown four touchdown passes. He has been intercepted four times. He has rushed 21 times for minus 32 yards and no touchdowns.

Senior wide receiver Kwamie Lassiter (#8) is Kansas’ leading receiver. He has caught 31 passes for 324 yards and one touchdown. He has a long reception of 37 yards.

Senior wide receiver Andrew Parchment (#4) has caught 23 passes for 192 yards. He has two touchdown receptions.

Junior wide receiver Takulve Williams (#16) has caught 17 passes for 88 yards.

Freshman tight end Will Huggins (#34), 6-7, 253 pounds has caught one pass, which was a 20-yarder for a touchdown.

Sophomore running back Velton Gardner (#0) is KU’s leading rusher. He has rushed 72 times for 325 yards. He has two rushing touchdowns and a long run of 61 yards.

Freshman running back Daniel Hishaw, Jr., (#20) has carried the football 30 times for 142 yards. He has scored one rushing touchdown.

Junior running back Pooka Williams (#1), who has starred for Kansas the past two season, opted out of the season after the fourth game of the season, which was a 38-17 loss to West Virginia. Williams rushed for more than 1,000 yards each of his first two season. He was a preseason first-team All-Big 12 selection this year.

Defensively, Kansas has recorded eight sacks. The Jayhawks have caused nine fumbles, recovering three of them.

Sophomore safety Kenny Logan, Jr. (#1) is KU’s leading tackler. He has 50 tackles, one tackle for loss and one sack. He has intercepted two passes.

Senior outside linebacker Kyron Johnson (#15) has 31 tackles. He has 4.5 tackles for loss and three sacks.

Redshirt freshman defensive lineman DaJon Terry (95) has two sacks.

Sophomore linebacker Nick Channel (#41) and junior linebacker Dru Prox (#40) each have one sack

Kansas has a good kick-return game. The Jayhawks are ranked fifth as a team in the conference in kickoff returns.

Sophomore kickoff returner Jamahl Horne (#88) is ranked fourth in the Big 12. He has returned 15 kicks for 339 yards, an average of 22.6 yards per return. He has a long return of 32 yards.

Logan, Jr. (#1) has returned eight kickoffs for 266 yards, an average of 33.2 yards per return. He has a 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown.

KU has used two punters this season.

Senior Kyle Thompson (#80) is averaging 39.9 yards per punt. He has a long punt of 62 yards. He has not had a punt blocked.

Freshman Reis Vernon (#24) is averaging 38.1 yards per punt. He has a long punt of 50 yards. He has not had a punt blocked.

Redshirt freshman Jacob Borcila (#83) has made three-of-six field goal attempts. His long field goal was a 47-yarder. He has not had a field goal attempt blocked.

Returning to action on the road, after a loss, after final exams and the official end to the fall semester, and after a Thanksgiving full of turkey, stuffing and pumpkin pie will not be an easy task for the Frogs.

And one bye week is not enough time to make the changes that need to be made within the TCU football program.

But, hopefully, the Frogs’ trip to the Sunflower State will start a new winning streak and not result in their second consecutive out-of-state loss.
