TCU football injury update: Running back won’t play against Cincinnati

By Steven Johnson

TCU leading rusher Kevorian Barnes will miss the regular-season finale against Cincinnati, head coach Sonny Dykes announced Tuesday.

It will be the third straight game Barnes has missed. He hasn’t played since TCU’s 20-17 loss to Iowa State on Nov. 8.

Barnes suffered a lower-body injury against Abilene Christian on Sept. 13 and has struggled with the injury most of the season. The closest Barnes got to being 100% was against Baylor on Oct. 18 when he rushed for 106 yards and two touchdowns in the Horned Frogs’ 42-36 win.

It was announced before the Houston game that Barnes is out for the rest of the season.

Another year of Walmart Fire Sale RBs.
This staff talks about the importance of running the football; but never makes a serious attempt at buying a legit proven/healthy RB.

The top 4 teams in the Big12, Texas Tech, BYU, Utah, & ASU all average greater than 194 rushing per game and they all rush the ball more than 50% of the time. That’s a winning recipe’.

TCU: Averages 13th in B12 rushing yards & 15th in rushing attempts.

I'd be more excited about signing some road graders in the portal than any running backs.

You think that’s because of the running backs? I don’t.

It's what's up front that counts.

The OSU tackle transfer is a big start.

Does Barnes have the history of being injury prone? Assuming this season is a fluke on that front, I think he is exactly who we needed.

Hurt most of last year too I believe

Is it too late to get a refund on the snow room? Seems like it doesn't work well on lower body injuries. Lemmermann missed the whole year and now Barnes will have missed the last 3.

Overall our injury situation is pretty good. And has been.

Yes, very. The only season he wasn’t injury prone was basically his first season at UTSA. After that he pretty much missed a lot of time each season since due to injuries. Was hoping he was past that but obviously not.

I feel like Payne is running better than he was. Seems like he's hitting the hole faster.... Just needs to hold on to the ball.

Probably because they are protecting leads in the 4th quarter.

The RB referenced in the article has to decide how much he wants it.

That should have been a huge red flag to this staff.

Maybe so, but I think the other RBs we have are at least serviceable. I haven’t watched a game yet this year where I thought, if only we had a better RB. And it’s not like Barnes is that great, he’s not much different than the others IMO.

If only we could have someone like the leading rusher in the NCAAs on our roster...

Agreed. The young back has shown to be better. Take away the big run and UNC and not sure Barnes is so much better.
