2013 Big 12 spring practice capsules
TCU HORNED FROGS
Spring start: March 1
Spring game: TBD, may not host one because stadium turf is being replaced.
What to watch:
1. Guess who's back? TCU's offense was really, really shaky without Casey Pachall calling the shots, but the prototype passer is back on the team after leaving to attend drug and alcohol addiction treatment following an October DUI arrest. Is he the same player? He'll have to be to beat out Trevone Boykin and win his job back this spring.
2. Picking its spots: Besides Pachall's return, a defense that returns nine starters will be the main attraction this spring. Linebacker Kenny Cain is gone and so is defensive end Stansly Maponga, but Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year Devonte Fields is just a sophomore and will be fun to watch in his first spring practice in Fort Worth.
3. The revamped running game: Injuries made life hard on TCU's running game last year, but this spring will be intriguing after losing two of the team's best linemen in center James Fry and guard Blaize Foltz. Waymon James is back, though Matthew Tucker and Aundre Dean are gone, but expect Nebraska transfer Aaron Green, a one-time blue-chip recruit from San Antonio, to earn a lot of attention this spring.
