Chattanooga Times Free Press: Gary Patterson wanting TCU to 'grow up' against Georgia
David Paschall | Chattanooga Times Free Press
The Georgia Bulldogs and TCU Horned Frogs combined for 22 victories two years ago and for 21 wins last season.
This year, they're a combined 13-11 and headed for a collision in the Liberty Bowl on Dec. 30. TCU coach Gary Patterson wants to use the trip to Memphis as good riddance to this season, with this year's 6-6 squad having struggled compared to the 2014 team that finished 12-1 and No. 3 in the country behind Ohio State and Oregon and last year's 11-2 team that wound up No. 7.
"It's really about us growing up as a football team and finding out how we need to play going into next season, because we weren't happy with this one," Patterson said Monday night. "Our standards have been very high at TCU, and for everybody who's worn the purple and black, going 6-6 is not something we're happy about.
"We're glad we got back to a bowl game, and I think it helps playing against a great opponent. It's always easier to help them get ready when you're playing against somebody like the University of Georgia."
