TCU in Big 12 Driver’s Seat After Latest Gutsy Win

Who knows—TCU may very well be experiencing the makings of a dream season. The Horned Frogs remain undefeated after a 38–28 comeback win over Kansas State on Saturday night.

Sometimes things break right for you, and down 28–10 to the Wildcats, they most certainly needed Lady Luck on their side in Week 8. Unfortunately for Kansas State, the injury bug started biting hard as both quarterback Adrian Martinez (who had been playing arguably the best football of his career) and his backup Will Howard were sidelined with injury. Down to QB3, it was certainly a tough ask for Jake Rubley to keep things afloat.

The Frogs then stormed back, going on a 28–0 run in which the Wildcats only ran 13 offensive plays. It was a similar script to last week against Oklahoma State in that TCU started sluggishly and then battled back. In the game against the Cowboys, Sonny Dykes’s team erased a 14-point fourth-quarter deficit.
