Defensive coordinator David Gibbs isn’t sure if anyone can tell.
“We played better against the slow teams that line up and run power football than we played against the spread teams, which we see every day,” Gibbs said Monday. “That doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to me, but that’s the truth.”
TCU eked out a 55-52 victory Saturday in Lubbock. Of the Horned Frogs’ 750 yards, quarterback Trevone Boykin threw for 485. Gibbs played five cornerbacks, trying to keep them fresh. He said there’s not much difference among the five.
