TCU quotable: Boykin’s ‘bad game’ was untimely; Doctson’s injury changed
In eight games this season, the 6-foot-5, 250-pound Bean totaled 25 tackles, 10.5 tackles for loss and 5.5 sacks. And Boykin, with all his charisma, athleticism and stats, won’t be hoisting college football’s most coveted individual award.
The November 7, 2015 edition of the Big 12 conference game between Oklahoma State university (OSU) Cowboys vs The Texas Christian University (TCU) Horned Frogs is scheduled to be shown at 2:30 p.m. on ch 23.1 KOKI.
“They kicked our butts”, TCU coach Gary Patterson said. “He’s relentless. He comes after you”.
On Saturday, their replacements and a handful of other reserve defensive players made big play after big play to ensure the OSU victory.
Today’s TCU Horned Frogs vs Oklahoma State Cowboys game on Fox Sports live TV and Fox Sports Go online live streaming is a battle of unbeaten Big 12 teams whose season may be defined by the outcome of his game.
The Pac-12’s best chance is if its victor comes out of a Stanford-Utah title game featuring a pair of one-loss teams.
Who is going to get the majority of snaps at quarterback?
“We felt a bit snubbed, but our body of work has and will put us where we need to be at the end of the day”, Oklahoma State linebacker Chad Whitener, who intercepted two passes and ran one back for a touchdown against TCU, said. But, after a 20-point win over the No. 8 team in the rankings, the nation – and the committee – know a lot more about Oklahoma State than they did 24 hours ago. “That’s what happens when you get guys injured in this game”. TCU realizes this as they will be honoring the victims of the tragic accident that occurred during Oklahoma State’s homecoming parade. The Cowboys aren’t intimidated. Making matters worse, Josh Doctson, the nation’s leader in yards receiving, left the game with a left wrist injury and didn’t return. These teams combined for over 1,300 yards with TT giving the ball away three times including a pick six with six seconds remaining.
Oklahoma State wide receiver Austin Hays (88) is able to come down… “We just tell them ‘Look, we have TCU this week, Iowa State next week.’ We go week by week and don’t worry about it. But they just want to keep bringing it up”.
It was Oklahoma State’s fourth touchdown of at least 48 yards, and all six of their scoring drives were completed in 1:13 or less. He did manage an additional 73 yards rushing and a couple of touchdowns. After a few early struggles related to turnover and then injuries, TCU’s defense has stabilized itself somewhat.
The Odds: TCU is a 5.5 point favorite against Oklahoma State in this one.
Also in the Big 12, Texas Tech is an 8-point underdog at West Virginia. Kolby Listenbee has 19 catches for 383 yards and 3 touchdowns.
Notre Dame never trailed and rolled up 435 total yards in its first game since being ranked fifth in the initial CFP poll.
“He’s a great athlete, he’s got good ball skills and he can jump”, Oklahoma State cornerback Ramon Richards said.
Instead of a more balanced schedule that would see the conference contenders face each other over the entire length of the season, the Big 12 is pushing all of its chips in hoping that this is the year that they can say, “We’re in”.
