TCU Horned Frog, a world-class star, now admit he wants to leave
Did the University of Georgia sneak a platoon of Bulldogs up to Kansas in the middle of the night without anybody knowing? I ask such a silly question because for most of Saturday night’s 41-3 beatdown to Kansas State, it had to feel like a repeat of the national championship defeat from January for most TCU fans. Except this time, the Horned Frogs weren’t getting hammered by a roster full of future NFL players and five-star recruits. TCU was outclassed by a team that is the third- or fourth-best team in the Big 12.
Shortly after the news came out earlier this season that TCU would pause its rivalry game with SMU, coach Sonny Dykes said that if TCU wanted to be a big boy program, then it had to start acting like one. Dykes was talking about having more home games then, but this philosophy also applies here. Big boy programs don’t allow over 200 yards in a quarter or 400 in a half. The performance was so bad that Dykes was almost at a loss for words at the podium. “I’m embarrassed; I think our players are; I hope they are; they should be,” Dykes said after the blowout.
How many times have we seen a team like Kansas State push the Horned Frogs around in the run game? How many times have quarterbacks seemingly had all day to throw due to the lack of pressure? Against the two teams that had good offenses this season, the Horned Frogs were decimated by Colorado and the Wildcats. Dykes said it himself: Kansas State could’ve scored as much as they needed to.
