QUICK ANALYSIS

No more underestimating the Horned Frogs in the preseason. Enough talent remains to keep TCU in the Top 25. The biggest loss exists on the DL, where TCU made a habit of stuffing opponents with guys like Bo Schobel and Chad Pugh. Other than the DL, the roster is full of experience and talent, not to mention the fact that Coach Gary Patterson is starting to reap the recruiting rewards. Two solid QBs remain in place, and the depth of the Horned Frog backfield creates a steady base for continuing the winning tradition. If some injuries heal, the Frogs are looking at owning the current Conference USA situation for 2004. If another conference were looking to add a quality opponent (since realignment has torn up the CUSA), the Frogs would make a mighty nice addition. The future is promising for TCU, regardless.
