(AP) - TCU coach Gary Patterson never spent much time lamenting injuries on his defense or all the young players on that side of the ball.
"We weren't supposed to be very good on defense this year anyway, and we were supposed to win everything with offense," Patterson said. "These kids have kind of taken it as a challenge."
The defense is holding its own for the third-ranked Horned Frogs, who seek their eighth win in the last nine meetings with SMU at home on Saturday night.
