The Horned Frogs have a top-25 scoring offense and have only two offensive touchdowns in the last three games.
It was around this juncture last year that TCU began to realize that it had the potential to compete for something special.in the fourth game of this season, it appears the reports of the Horned Frogs demise after the Week 1 shocker to Colorado were grossly exaggerated.
“We took some lumps, but it’s lot easier to prepare for an offense when you know where people are going to be,” Dykes said. “I’m not making excuses, they beat us and I did a poor job coaching and we didn’t play as well as we should have. It makes a difference when you have film. The communication is better, the synergy is better and when the pass rush is unleashed it’s also better. Getting to this point wasn’t easy and required the Horned Frogs to look deep within after being embarrassed against the Buffaloes on national TV.Josh Newton
Thanks to the gameplan of defensive coordinator Joe Gillespie and the leadership of Dykes, TCU is only allowing 12 points per game in its last three games. Is that sustainable? Maybe not, but even modest regression would still give the Horned Frogs a good enough defense to contend for the Big 12 crown.
Kansas State? The Wildcats are in a similar position as TCU with one loss by a field goal to an unranked opponent and both teams have gone through some growing pains replacing stars from last year. But what we’ve seen from Dykes team over the last two weeks is an encouraging sign of how this program will respond to adversity. Think about it, TCU was blown out by Georgia in the national title game and then in the first game of the year you’re upset in one of the most-watched games of the season?“You can look at the first game of the season and say what you want,” tight end Jared Wiley said.
