SB Nation: Opponent Q&A: How Much Better Has TCU Gotten?

by EricHarris

Frogs O’ War. If you want to read more about the game from a TCU perspective, definitely check out their work.

Gary Patterson teams are usually known for their defenses, but last year they seemed to get away from that some. Is this year's defense back up to those high standards?

Plunkett: One of the issues with TCU's defense last year was health. When Arkansas came to town in week two, corner Ranthony Texada was still working his way back from a torn ACL, while another corner, Julius Lewis, was also banged up. Defensive end James McFarlandhad just sat out the previous season with a foot injury, and was not 100%, and he was still getting back into game shape as well. In 2017, though, Texada and Lewis are both healthy, and are coming off of stellar back halves to the 2016 season.

"Gotten?"

Anyway, good reminder of how the frogs were banged up going into the game last year. Bodes well for tomorrow.

It might bode better if this weren't in Fayettenam.

Real Fayettenam is in North Carolina right outside of Fort Bragg...Home of the Airborne and Special Operations Forces. But both towns have a similar reputation.

Some of the best (and sometimes unexpected) results of the GP era have been road games..... UT (3 times), Baylor (twice), WV (twice), Utah, BYU, Boise, Clemson.... with the exception of Stillwater this team plays really well on the road more often than not.

Frogs play great on the road.
