There are few things more challenging to endure than an afternoon kickoff in August in Texas, something that Frog fans have been accustomed to over the last few years when a non-marquee opponent travels to Amon G. Carter Stadium for a season-opener.
Thankfully, that would be the case in 2019, as it was announced Thursday that the Frogs would face off with Arkansas Pine-Bluff under the lights to open their campaign, with kickoff on August 31st set for 7:00pm. The game will be televised on Fox Sports Net.
TCU’s second game of the season will also be a primetime tilt, as the Horned Frogs travel to Indianapolis to face Purdue for the first time since 1970.
