Here are five thoughts following TCU football's 41-17 loss to Oklahoma in the Big 12 Championship game:
Given TCU's slow start when the Horned Frogs played up in Norman about a month ago, TCU knew it needed to strike fast. Head coach Gary Patterson even commented after that 38-20 loss to the Sooners that the Frogs needed to be more aggressive earlier, especially on the defensive side of the ball.
The task was simple: Do better coming out of the locker room -- both at kickoff and after halftime -- and play with more urgency in the first quarter.
