Defense |
| Suffice
to say,
TCU is stacked
on the defensive
side for
the upcoming
season.
Only one
starter
departs
and the
entire group
can lay
the wood.
They have
the talents
to bring
pressure
on quarterbacks,
stuff the
run and
cover like
a blanket.

| Quarterback
/ Running Back
|
The
quarterback
situation
isn't really
a concern
as much
as it is
a question
as to whether
Casey Paschall
returns
from a season
long suspension.
The sophomore
Boykin can
run and
has a strong
arm but
the veteran
Paschall
is more
accurate.
The handoffs
get distributed
fairly evenly
among the
running
backs mostly
due to injury
issues.
Will this
be another
committee
approach
or will
one of them
step up
and take
sole control
of the ground
game? |

DEPTH CHARTS were
only designed as a simplistic
gauge for listing players
that departed and players
that received the most
playing experience (consistent
starters). NationalChamps.net
recognizes the importance
of missing personnel data
not listed such as redshirts,
transfers, injuries, incoming
recruits, back ups and
alternates. Their coverage
will begin with our full
2013 Preseason Preview
due out this coming spring.

| QUICK
TAKES |
12/18/12
- Quarterback
Trevone Boykin has
competed about as
well as anyone could
have asked the redshirt
freshman after getting
thrown into the fire
due to the quick suspension
of original starter
Casey Pachall back
in early October.
Boykin is durable,
tough, has a big arm
and can throw the
deep ball but his
accuracy just isn't
there yet.
- Pachall
has filed for reinstatement
to TCU. Whether or
not he will be allowed
back on the football
team is not known
at this time. If he
does come back and
meets all his requirements
most could see him
being the starter
again once August
2013 rolls around.
But don't count out
Boykin as the front-runner
if the two wind up
dueling it out.
- Injuries
have not been kind
to the running backs.
Can 2011 leading rusher
Waymon James come
back from a season
ending knee injury?
If not B.J. Catalon
was the state of Texas'
No. 1 rated all-purpose
back out of high school.
- TCU
employs a 4-2-5 defensive
scheme that gets after
people. The defensive
line is an aggressive
physical group and
the secondary led
by All-American cornerback
Jason Verrett will
have some very high
expectations placed
on them.
- With
only one starter gone
on the defensive side,
head coach Gary Patterson
is preparing to make
this team a dominant
force in just his
second year as a Big
12 member. Everyone
wants to know if TCU
is capable of competing
week-in and week-out
in a BCS-aligned league.
The answer will come
next season as these
Frogs are filled to
the horns with experience
and talent. Oh yea,
and the head coach
is still pretty good
too.
