Can TCU get back to its winning ways? If it does, these three potential breakout players could play a big role in doing so.
Breakout candidates
Shaun Nixon, WR: Production has never been a problem for Nixon. Staying on the field has been an ordeal. Nixon missed all of 2014 after being hurt and then suffered a knee injury that sidelined him for the 2016 season. In between, Nixon posted 47 receptions for 501 yards in 2015, including nine catches in the epic Valero Alamo Bowl comeback win. Because of his ability to also lineup in the backfield, he can a very important chess piece for offensive coordinator Sonny Cumbie.
