TCU coach Gary Patterson took some of the blame for the Iowa State loss off quarterback Kenny Hill’s shoulders, saying the Horned Frogs should have run the ball more in the red zone.
Hill was intercepted in the third quarter and fumbled on a sack in the fourth quarter, each time with TCU trying to score a tying touchdown from inside the 20-yard line. Hill’s third turnover, an interception, ended the Frogs’ final chance with just over a minute left.
It was his first multiple-interception game this season.
“Well, No. 1, everybody’s struggled throwing the football against Iowa State,” Patterson said Monday during the Big 12 coaches conference call with reporters.
