Patterson: TCU changes Air Raid signals to avoid tipping plays

TCU changed all its signals this spring because of how common the Air Raid offense is in college football now, coach Gary Patterson said Tuesday during a conference call with reporters.

“Even defensively, we changed a lot of different things going into spring because people knew our signals, different things,” Patterson said. “So we went back and we revamped everything.”

Patterson said the arrival of new offensive line coach Chris Thomsen and offensive analyst Sonny Dykes and their ideas also contributed to the new signals and looks for the offense under co-coordinators Sonny Cumbie and Curtis Luper.
