It's all about putting things together for the next five games.

Banged up early on, fourth-ranked TCU has survived seven weeks on its way to a 7-0 start, experiencing what is best described as a roller coaster of a campaign so far.

But obviously, moving forward, guys have an opportunity to come in and make plays.”
