It had its “wow” moments and 'ouch' moments, but the first start of Shawn Robinson's TCU career turned out to be a winner.
The freshman from DeSoto started in place of sidelined Kenny Hill and ran for 84 yards and threw a touchdown pass to lead the 11th-ranked Horned Frogs to a 27-3 victory against Texas Tech on Saturday at Jones AT&T Stadium.
Robinson became the first true freshman to start for TCU under head coach Gary Patterson. The last time true freshman to do so at TCU was Casey Printers (also of DeSoto) on Sept.
