KWTV: Oklahoma Football: Sooners Face Tough Test In TCU Defense
Luke McConnell, News 9
When you think about the TCU Horned Frogs, your mind automatically begins thinking about defense, the Horned Frogs' calling card for many years.
Your mind doesn't go there without reason. Over the past 16 years, very few if any programs in the country can claim the same level of defensive success the Horned Frogs can. A few numbers for you to chew on:
5: number of times TCU has led the NCAA in total defense. This number is second to Alabama in most times since 1937, the year the NCAA began keeping statistics. More impressive is the fact TCU has accomplished this in 14 years, including three in a row from 2008-2010.
1: number of times TCU has finished outside the top-40 in total defense since 1998. That occurred in 2004, defensive coordinator Dick Bumpas' first year in Fort Worth.
93.7: number of rush yards per game TCU has allowed since 2000, tops in the nation by eight yards over Alabama.
Throw in the fact TCU has played the Sooners extremely tough over the past four matchups and Saturday's clash between the two teams is shaping up to be a difficult, but an exciting test for Oklahoma. ...
