• Three of the Horned Frogs' opening four games this season are at home. TCU leaves the state of Texas just twice in 2020 and not until Nov. 14.
• Since TCU began Big 12 play in 2012, six of its eight regular-season games versus Oklahoma have been decided by seven points or less, including last year's 28-24 OU win in Norman.

• Under head coach Gary Patterson, TCU is 44-18 in regular-season games following a loss.

• TCU's 17-10 win at No. 5 Oklahoma in the 2005 season opener was its first victory over an opponent ranked that high since a 6-0 decision at No. 1 Texas in 1961. The 10 points by OU marked its fewest in a home game under former head coach Bob Stoops.
REMEMBER ME?
• TCU offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Sonny Cumbie and Oklahoma head coach Lincoln Riley were teammates during the spring and summer of 2003 at Texas Tech. Riley was then a student coach during Cumbie's final two seasons (2003-04) as a player for the Red Raiders.
• TCU outside receivers coach Malcolm Kelly was a two-time first-team All-Big 12 selection and a 2005 Freshman All-American at Oklahoma.

When he left Norman, Kelly ranked second all-time at Oklahoma with his 21 touchdown catches and nine career 100-yard receiving games. He tied a school record with 11 receptions as a sophomore versus Texas Tech in 2006.
SIXTH IS FINE FOR NOW

BEGINNING OF DECADE MAGIC

• In 2010, TCU went 13-0, won the Rose Bowl and finished the season ranked No. 2 nationally.
• The Horned Frogs were 10-2 and won the WAC in 2000. Patterson began that season as defensive coordinator before being named head coach prior to the Mobile Alabama Bowl versus Southern Miss.
TCU NOTABLES

• TCU had five 11-win seasons last decade, equaling the combined number of the 11 other FBS programs in Texas.
• Patterson, at 20 seasons, is the nation's second-longest tenured head coach, trailing only Iowa's Kirk Ferentz (22nd year).
• Patterson recently released two music singles in which he wrote and provided lead vocals on, "Take A Step Back" and "Game On."
• TCU is the only school in the nation to lead its conference in total defense the last three seasons. 4The Horned Frogs have just 10 scholarship seniors on this year's team.
