TCU’s football program absorbed another huge hit on Thursday when starting inside linebacker Mike Freeze took an indefinite leave of absence for personal reasons. After losing Sammy Douglas after Week 1, the Horned Frogs are reeling on defense, meaning quarterback Trevone Boykin must step up in a big way to carry the program the rest of the season.
Before the campaign even began, TCU’s defense was already a big question mark. But head coach Gary Patterson figured he’d found a way to fill holes last year, so no big deal this time around, right?
“Last year we didn’t have any linebackers, we didn’t have a quarterback,” he said before the season began, via SI.
