Highest ranking, early opener push No. 2 TCU past 2014 snub

Trevone Boykin and his buddies at TCU have grown tired of hearing about last season, when the Horned Frogs shared the Big 12 title but were left out of the first College Football Playoff.

The second-ranked Horned Frogs finally get to start fresh with an early opener. They are at Minnesota on Thursday night with their highest preseason ranking ever.

"The talk is cheap and I'm ready to just go out there and play the game," said Boykin, considered an early Heisman Trophy front-runner after finishing fourth in the voting last season.

Funny how perceptions of TCU and its senior quarterback have changed in a year's time.
