TCU coach Gary Patterson approached the podium for his next-to-last Tuesday press conference this season.

Injuries and turnovers and inconsistent offense and even more injuries have left the Horned Frogs (4-6, 2-5 Big 12) reeling.

“It’s a must win because we do want to make a bowl game,” tight end Cole Novak said.
