Perfection going forward is now the only way for TCU football (4-6, 2-5 Big 12) to make a bowl game in 2018, as the Horned Frogs will need to win both of their remaining two games in order to be eligible for postseason play.
As Gary Patterson and TCU, fresh off a 47-10 loss at West Virginia -- the most lopsided in Patterson's 18-year tenure as head coach -- prepare for a rivalry game with Baylor (5-5, 3-4 Big 12), the amount of urgency is evident for both teams entering the Saturday morning matchup in Waco. And with the tension that is always present between the in-state foes each year, the unexpected can always be expected.
