Football:
The defense is still TCU’s calling card.
Since TCU has joined the Big 12, it’s had one of the better defenses in the conference. And it’s more of the same so far this year for the Horned Frogs.
They’re second in the conference in yards allowed per game with 330 yards surrendered.
Iowa State coach Matt Campbell said the thing that makes the defense so successful is elite team speed.
“(TCU coach Gary Patterson) does such a great job of recruiting with a plan of moving guys within his defensive structure so their speed and athleticism can really show,” Campbell said.
