TCU head coach Gary Patterson tried to temper down expectations for his 2018 Frogs during a Fort Worth Chamber luncheon on Wednesday afternoon.
He pointed to last season as his squad starting the season ranked “65th” and then finishing as the No. 9 team in the country. He would have no issues facing that scenario going into this season.
But Patterson acknowledged jokingly that isn’t possible with an early-season matchup against Ohio State. After all, it’s not too sexy if TCU is ranked 65th in the country facing a perennial power such as Ohio State in a primetime game at AT&T Stadium.
