TCU football begins spring practice this Friday.
As usual, depth chart battles and fights for starting roles begin now.
The Horned Frog return 11 starters, including six on defense. The offense, with five retuning starters, will be turned over to quarterback Shawn Robinson. Linebacker Ty Summers returns for his senior season with a chance to become all-time leading tackler under Gary Patterson.
Here are five things to watch as spring kicks off:
1. Offensive line
The Frogs have to replace four starters on their offensive line, including left tackle Joseph Noteboom, right guard Matt Pryor and guard/center Austin Schlottmann.
