Gary Patterson’s suggestion: Maybe Mike Collins should get more snaps at QB for TCU

Shawn Robinson is TCU’s starting quarterback. That isn’t going to change anytime soon.

But coach Gary Patterson wondered aloud whether backup Mike Collins should see more playing time after the Frogs’ 42-12 victory over SMU on Friday night.

Patterson isn’t thinking anything too drastic such as switching every other series between Robinson and Collins. Instead, he threw out the idea of maybe getting Collins involved earlier in the game for a series or two.

“That’s the head coach talking, that’s not the offensive coordinator talking,” Patterson said, referring that he’ll rely on co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Sonny Cumbie to make any such determination.
