Quarterback Kenny Hill will not make the trip to Lubbock for Saturday’s game against Texas Tech, opening the way for freshman backup Shawn Robinson to make his first start for No. 11 TCU.
Horned Frogs coach Gary Patterson said Thursday that strong safety Niko Small and kicker Jonathan Song also will not make the trip.
Linebacker Travin Howard will travel, Patterson said, but could be a game-time decision.
Robinson, who has played in five games, was on track to play more in the final two games of the regular season even before Hill’s status changed, Patterson indicated earlier this week.
