Defense preview

The TCU defense had a lot of expectations to live up to last season. The year before, the Horned Frogs had led the nation in total defense, allowing just 245 yards a game. TCU was also tops in scoring defense, surrendering just 9.6 points a game.

With the departure of six starters, and the move to Conference USA, the Frog defense stumbled at times. However, after spending a year adjusting to the new conference, and six returning starters, the Frogs are looking to get back to theirelite defensive status .

“If your game planning against us,” senior defensive tackle John Turntine said, “there are multiple things you have to think about. We’ve got guys that are not only strong, but fast.”
