Sonny Dykes said if TCU wants to be a big boy program then it has to act like one. But after the blowout loss to K-State how far is TCU away from that tier of college football?
Did the University of Georgia sneak a platoon of Bulldogs up to Kansas in the middle of the night without anybody knowing?it had to feel like a repeat of the national championship defeat from January for most TCU fans.
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. It’s one thing to take a step back after the magical 2022 season, but a step back is supposed to be 8-4 or a competitive 7-5. At this point, there’s a realistic chance TCU might not win another game and that shouldn’t be what this program is facing just months after an appearance in the national championship game.signed one of its best recruiting classes in program history and landed another strong transfer class the staff.
Schematically there’s nothing wrong with Joe Gillespie’s defense. Iowa State, San Diego State and other programs have had success running it in the past, but there is a reason the scheme isn’t run wide spread across the sport. It puts a lot of pressure on your defensive line and to be frank, TCU doesn’t have the bodies up front to run it effectively.
All of it is noise at this point. The Horned Frogs don’t have an identity on offense besides the fact they go fast. The offense has been one of the worst units in the red zone in the country and that was even when they were averaging over 35 points a game.“I think we need to figure out who we are again,” offensive tackle Andrew Coker said. “I think we need to figure out what we want to do again.”
Coker said it was a gut check for everyone in the building and that includes the coaching staff which leads to the final question.As someone who believed the Horned Frogs had a chance to win 10 games in the preseason , it would still be a surprise if the Horned Frogs didn’t reach a bowl, but the final four games are daunting.
