TCU football didn’t have the year it initially envisioned with a 6-6 finish to the regular season, but that didn’t stop several Horned Frogs from exceeding expectations.
Whether it stemmed from self-determination, an unexpected chance to play in lieu of injured players or perhaps even a combination of both, here are five TCU players who went above and beyond this fall:

Wallow had three 11-tackle performances on the season, including a career-best 10 solo tackles at West Virginia on Nov. 10. Injuries on defense allowed Wallow to rotate between linebacker and safety, establishing the New Orleans native as a versatile player going forward for Gary Patterson’s defense.
