This team needs confidence any way it can get it, and a 15-5 win over SFA is one way to get a little.
“Guys got some confidence and hopefully that makes us feel a little better about ourselves going into a tough weekend,” TCU coach Jim Schlossnagle said. TCU opens a crucial Big 12 Conference series with No. 4 Texas Tech (32-10, 10-5 in the Big 12) this weekend at Lupton Stadium. “We’re not going to look at a positive thing negatively. We’ve earned the right to have a night like this.”

Patterson prefers touchbacks anyways.
Patterson said he’s a big fan of just booting the ball through the end zone, if he has a kicker who can do it. Patterson’s big concern was about rule changes to come, ones that affect the game as we know it. Actually, the college football powers that be might want to keep this mind.
