TCU failed to reach bowl eligibility on Friday, falling 48-14 in a lackluster effort against Iowa State to finish the season with a 5-7 record for the second time in three years. Cyclones running back Breece Hall was unstoppable, rushing for a season-high 242 yards and three touchdowns on 18 carries while adding two receptions for 39 yards and a touchdown.
The loss officially kickstarts an offseason for the Horned Frogs that will see the football program undergo several significant changes. While interim head coach Jerry Kill has reportedly agreed to become the next head coach at New Mexico State, TCU has reportedly prepared to announce SMU head coach Sonny Dykes to replace Gary Patterson this week.
