The 2017 TCU football team is starting to spark comparisons to the 2014 TCU football team.
Coach Gary Patterson shrugged.
“Different kids, different people, different time,” he said Tuesday at his midweek press conference. “The only thing I think is the same is I think we were both picked sixth.”
Pretty close. Three years ago, TCU was seventh in the Big 12 preseason media poll. This year, it was fifth.
The similarities, of course, don’t end there.
The 2014 Horned Frogs started 4-0, winning by an average score of 43-14.
