Two losses by a total of 4 pts, including blowing a 21 point loss as well as an inexplicable loss to Houston have doomed the season. Oh, what could have been.
But, the team is bowl eligible after missing the post-season games last year and has a chance to finish 8-4.
After going 5-7 last season, things are definitely better. And the play on the field is continuing to improve, on both sides of the ball.
Turnovers:
The offense had 18 turnovers, including 8 ints the first 8 games. Zero the last 2. Avg 2.16 last season, 1.8 this season
The defense forced 4 turnovers the first 7 games, 5 the last 3. 1 per game last season, 1.2 per game this season
Passing:
Last season TCU avg 312 YPG passing, this season 330
Last season TCU gave up 254 YPG passing, this season 187
Red zone offense
Last season scored 37 of 51 72.5% (30 TDs 58.8%)
This season scored 38 of 42 (90.4%) (31 TDs 73.8%)
Sacks
Allowed an avg of 1.58 per game last season, 1.1 this season
Had an avg of 2.17 per game last season, 2.0 this season
Points per game though almost identical as TCU avg 33.2 Per game this season and allowing 27.6. Last year TCU averaged 31.33 PPG and gave up 27.83 PPG.
What has been the killer this season is rush defense and offense. The Utah and Oklahoma State games were the only games TCU had more rushing yards than their opponent. Total for TCU so far this season is 1,100 yards and given up 1,724.
