The TCU backfield will be closer to full strength Saturday against West Virginia with the expected return of Kyle Hicks.
The senior running back from Arlington Martin missed the Oklahoma State game with an undisclosed injury and sat out the second half of the previous game, against SMU. He also sat out the season opener against Jackson State after being limited in August practices.
“I hope so, yep,” coach Gary Patterson said Tuesday, asked if Hicks was expected back in the lineup. “He was out practicing. I think we just have to be smart. I don’t think it needs to be a 20- to 25-carry game with him.
