TCU-West Virginia preview: QBs starred at Tarrant area schools | Fort Worth Star Telegram

Returning starters could give TCU a big boost heading into this one.

TCU coach Gary Patterson is hopeful the Frogs will be bolstered by the return of two key offensive players who have missed multiple games because of injuries, receiver/kick returner KaVontae Turpin (knee) and center Austin Schlottmann (foot). Their availability will be “game-time decisions,” said Patterson, who also indicated the contest could mark the season debuts of cornerback Julius Lewis and offensive lineman Trey Elliott. They are coming off injuries once thought to be season-ending.
