The Frogs are 3-4, and it always seems like when it rains it pours. Now, the injuries are starting to pile up, especially on the defensive side of the ball.
The Frogs lost All-American defensive tackle Ross Blacklock prior to the season, which was a huge blow to the defensive line. The secondary has been playing without Niko Small for the last several weeks, and he was out again against Oklahoma on Saturday. Earlier in the week, Patterson noted that Innis Gaines was probably out for the season.
Those are three veteran, talented players that TCU expected to be around, and it’s three spots where young guys have to get ready to play.
