TCU coach Gary Patterson has seen it all in his career. He knows there are no limits programs will go to gain an advantage on an opponent.
Patterson rattled off a list of nefarious tactics he’s seen such as a team using a fake construction worker to tape practice, having “inside guys” on opposing staffs and coaches camping out behind bleachers to catch a glimpse of practice.
So Patterson doesn’t take any chances, including on his own campus. Patterson likes practicing outdoors, but doesn’t get into the “nuts and bolts” of the game-planning portion until the team finishes practice in their indoor facility.
