After one week — and it is only one week — TCU has the nation’s second-ranked defense.
That’s because the Horned Frogs gave up only 65 yards to Jackson State last week in a 63-0 victory.
Jackson State is not on the same level as TCU, and tougher tests are on the way, starting on Saturday at Arkansas.
But holding any team under 100 yards does not happen by accident, nor does it happen every year. The last time TCU allowed so few yards was 2009, when Northern Illinois finished with 60 yards against the Horned Frogs in the Poinsettia Bowl.
