FORT WORTH -- Gary Patterson has just about seen it all -- injury-plagued seasons included -- since he was first hired by TCU as a defensive coordinator in 1998. Rarely is anything ever the "first rodeo" for the Horned Frogs' head coach of 18 years.
But the latest case of the injury bug for TCU? Even the second longest active-tenured head coach in all of college football can't recall quite anything like it as Patterson and the Horned Frogs (4-5, 2-4 Big 12) prepare for a date with AP No. 7 West Virginia (7-1, 5-1 Big 12) Saturday in Morgantown, West Virginia.
