TCU prized freshman recruit Justin Rogers made his college debut in Wednesday’s Cheez-It Bowl.
Rogers entered the game in the fourth quarter and had a three-and-out drive. The Frogs ran a “wildcat” formation on first down, Rogers was sacked for a 4-yard loss on second down and then he threw a 1-yard completion to Sewo Olonilua.
Rogers has been rehabbing his way back from a severe knee injury he sustained his senior year in high school. TCU coach Gary Patterson has said Rogers’ knee is healthy, but he is dealing with a drop foot condition.
TCU fifth-year senior Grayson Muehlstein was struggling mightily against Cal’s defense.
