That’s not a welcome sign for a TCU defense struggling to stop the run. The Horned Frogs allow 180.2 rushing yards per game – ranking 15th among Big 12 teams.
PLAYERS TO WATCH TCU: Senior cornerback JaTravis Broughton will be facing his old team on Saturday. Broughton spent five seasons at Utah, making 29 starts in 47 games with the Utes. He totaled five pass breakups over TCU’s previous three road games this season.
