TCU half and half: 5 things that went right, 5 that went wrong | The Star-Telegram

Of all the things that have gone right for the Frogs, is any bigger than Kyle Hicks? Here’s to hoping we see a lot more of him in the second half of the season.

Kyle Hicks. The head coach hasn’t had one bad thing to say about him, and how often can you say that? The junior running back from Arlington Martin leads the Frogs in all-purpose yardage. He’s No. 1 in catches. He’s run for seven touchdowns. He’s second in the Big 12 in rushing yards. His nine total touchdowns tie him for seventh in touchdowns in the country. He recovered a fumble to save the game-winning drive against Kansas. His contributions are plentiful, and he’s touching the ball fewer than 20 times a game.
