- TCU is 41-15 in regular-season games following a loss under head coach Gary Patterson.

- TCU has opened its season with a record of 3-2 or better for the 18th time in 19 seasons under Patterson. The Horned Frogs are looking to go at least 4-2 in the opening six games for the 14th time in the Patterson era.

- A 1983 graduate of Kansas State and former safety and outside linebacker for the Wildcats, Patterson is 4-3 as a head coach versus his alma mater. All seven games have come since TCU began Big 12 play in 2012.

ROAD WORK

- TCU’s 40 road wins since 2009 are tied for third nationally. The Horned Frogs are 40-16 (.714) in that stretch.- TCU is 18-15 on the road in its Big 12 history.

- Nine of TCU’s last 22 Big 12 road games have been decided by seven points or less. The Horned Frogs are 6-3 in those games.

SERIES HISTORY

- TCU has won the last two meetings with Kansas State and four of the past five.

- Overall, TCU is 3-3 against Kansas State in Manhattan and 4-2 in Fort Worth.

- Prior to TCU beginning Big 12 play in 2012, the schools had not met on the gridiron since 1986.

- The first game in the series was a 45-0 Kansas State victory in Manhattan in 1922.

- After that initial game, the schools did not play until four consecutive seasons from 1983

-86.

- A 52-45 win in Manhattan in 2015 saw TCU rally from a 35-17 halftime deficit. At the time, it equaled the largest come-from-behind win (18 points) in Gary Patterson’s tenure as head coach.

TIES TO THE SUNFLOWER STATE

- TCU head coach Gary Patterson was born in Larned, Kan., and is a native of Rozel, Kan.

- Patterson went to Pawnee Heights High School and then Dodge City Community College, before heading to Kansas State.

FAMILIAR FACE

- TCU quarterback Alex Delton is a graduate transfer from Kansas State.

- Delton started the opening two games and has been a team captain in each contest this season. He has completed 52.1 percent of his passes and is third on the team with 100 yards rushing.

- He had a 1-yard scoring run for Kansas State against TCU last season. If he finds the end zone for the Horned Frogs, he’ll become just the second player in TCU history (Josh Doctson) to score for and against the Horned Frogs.
