Injuries continue to be a big concern for TCU interim HC Jerry Kill​

ByJEREMY CLARK

Injuries continue to be a big problem for TCU as they head into Saturday’s game versus Kansas. That’s not good news considering the Frogs are hoping to bounce back from a 63-14 loss to Oklahoma State and Kansas is coming off one of their biggest wins in program history with a 57-56 win over Texas last week.

According to interim head coach Jerry Kill, things do not look good, especially on the offensive side of the ball. Kill said his team is simply piling up the injuries.

“We spent a lot of time on Sunday, Monday, just trying to figure out who’s going to play. We’re decimated by injuries, which there’s no excuses, I’ve never had one in my life so you have to find a way to get it done, but I’ve never seen anything like it and it continues to get worse.”

Just forfeit the game, lol. New HC must get a handle on all these injuries somehow. Not sure what the root cause is, some just plain bad luck of course, but not seeing this type of situation with 2 games to go with many other D-1 Teams. If just 1 season, maybe could say bad luck. But this seems to be a recurring theme with TCU lately.

Tbh I gotta think some of it is just some guys that aren't all that interested in playing.

True. Context is important I think. If I'm working back from injury, it probably doesn't make a ton of sense to risk a setback for Kansas during a season that ended 2 weeks ago right?

This is impossible. "Our Strength and Conditioning program is just fine ... this happens to every team every week" ... and countless other replies we've seen when people raise the question of why this team always has a high number of injuries.

Some of that, sure. But football involves playing through injury to a certain extent, and I think some kids are WAY more likely to want to get out there and compete than others. And I think a culture can set in where it's really easy for some kids to come up with a reason they can't or shouldn't be out there.

Definitely. That old line between "hurt" and "injured".

Define injury. I’m hundreds of miles from Fort Worth but I can clearly see that this Team has ZERO will to play football. This 2021 Team has terminal cancer running thru it and it is down to its last breath. It looks like Brandon is running the Program and the players have all bought in.

IIRC, back during the Andy Dalton days, we had a legacy wide receiver who was "injured" his entire TCU career. During practice, he'd do a little bit of running along the sidelines, but was a "no go" for anything else.

(His injury was reportedly that he didn't like the way GP yelled at players.)

Values are a bit screwed up. A college education or lay down and complain. That apparently is the norm today. We are very close to following UT's demeaner/reputation aren't we? What took 15 yrs to build can be destroyed in 60 minutes.

Clint Renfro? I seem to recall him participating in just about everything at practice. It seemed to me that he just preferred track to football.

This is my recollection as well. That and he just wasn’t all that great at football (perhaps partially because of his preference for track) and therefore remained buried on the depth chart.
