2010 OUTLOOK
If the college football world thought TCU has been peaking lately as one of the nation's toughest teams, get ready (you BCS Buster advocates) because the Horned Frogs are stacking up to be just as good in their 2010 follow up act. Sure, a few key players will be moving on - such as sack master Jerry Hughes, two All-MWC cornerbacks and a top flight running back in Joseph Turner - but those left garner their own accolades. Nine returning players were tabbed All-Conference, and that is a hefty total. This No. 6 ranking would give TCU their highest preseason ranking in school history according to AP Polls of the past and the next highest since their debut at No. 8 in 1958. Great teams usually start with a great QB, and in Fort Worth, nothing changes with senior Andy Dalton behind center. Coach Gary Patterson has sustained his legacy here via superb defensive play. The nation's No. 1 ranked total defense returns more talent than in any prior season. Just like Boise State, this team has been making bigtime mid-major noise for almost a decade now. Looking at the upcoming schedule, there is no one TCU cannot beat. Granted the Mountain West Conference is proving to be somewhat competitive with especially strong BYU and Utah in the mix, but no one on their non-conference list will be favored to beat the Frogs. The opener in Arlington against Oregon State will carry a long way seeing this will be the toughest challenge. Beat the Beavers and the Frogs are in the thick of the national championship race before Labor Day even gets here.
