Johnson noted something we all noticed. This team never stopped fighting, despite being overwhelmed with injuries and in a devastatingly tough conference.
"I'm proud of the kids and how they stayed the course," Johnson told ESPN. "They were 13-0 and were 25th in the country at one point last season. And with all the injuries they have had, they battled in the toughest conference in the country the last three years."

Terry, a native of Angleton, played in college at St. Edward’s (1987-1991) and has been an assistant at two different Big 12 schools: Baylor (1996-98) and Texas (2002-11). During his nine seasons on the staff at Texas, the Longhorns signed 10 McDonald’s All-Americans, including Kevin Durant (2006), and the team won 232 games under coach Rick Barnes. Terry’s career mark at Fresno State is 85-83.

Some good notes about some TCU recruits in this piece, including WR Omar Manning.
