The Frogs need to correct this problem before it comes back to bite them down the road.
TCU was able to escape Palo Alto with a win over Stanford in Week 1. The Horned Frogs were able to hold on for a 34-27 victory on the road to start the season 1-0. It is certainly a better start than the team got off to last year when they lost to a 4-8 Colorado team at home in an embarrassing defensive performance.
TCU may have escaped Stanford with a victory, but not everything went smoothly for the Frogs. TCU fumbled the ball three times and lost two of them. The first of those fumbles came when wide receiverdropped the ball after picking up a first down through the air early in the second quarter. The second fumble was at the end of the first half and was even worse.botched a handoff leading to a fumble and costing TCU a chance at points before halftime.
This week against Long Island, TCU faces a much easier task. They are expected to win this game easily, and anything less than a blowout would be viewed as a disappointment. But even in a game like this one, you have to take care of the football. The Frogs cannot afford to create these bad habits so early in the season. Their fumbles nearly cost them at Stanford and could easily cost them a game when the competition steps up later in the year.
Not having any fumbles in this Long Island game would be a good sign that things are improving going forward.Tanner Johnson is a sports writer and journalist who has experience covering multiple sports, collegiate and professional.
