TCU quarterback in trouble with the law

TCU quarterback Trevone Boykin issued a lengthy apology on social media Thursday night in response to his arrest early Thursday morning after a scuffle with police in San Antonio.

“Words can’t describe how sorry I am”.

“What happened to Boykin was a monumental mistake by a player old enough to know better but I also believe it reflects poorly on that entire program”. “Unfortunate for him, because Trevone has meant so much to TCU….”

“I feel like this is going to be a really good game”. “Before the actual football practice, when I first met him in person, I knew he was something special”.

“It’s a ballgame that’s very similar with two teams that have a lot of speed, two teams that try to be innovative as far as how they coach, to try not just to beat you with athletes, but schematically get you outnumbered”, Patterson said.

“Their offense, when I was watching them in junior high and high school, electrifying”, safety Denzel Johnson said. Boykin said he wished he could play, “but I won’t because of my mistake that I have no one to blame but myself”. I will forever be a proud TCU Horned Frog, and I apologize to everyone again for my lapse in judgement. He has since been released after posting bond.

Boykin was held in jail overnight and now risks missing TCU’s Alamo Bowl game against OR on Saturday. Boykin was charged with felony assault and has been suspended for Saturday’s Alamo Bowl against Oregon. McManus said the officer was treated for a swollen face as well as bruises and abrasions suffered when he and Boykin fell to the ground during the altercation.

OR (9-3), with top-rated FBS passer Adams and standout running back Royce Freeman, went from a slight underdog to a touchdown favorite after Boykin was suspended within hours after his arrest outside a bar near San Antonio’s famed River Walk at about 2 a.m. Thursday. McManus said Boykin had been heckled at the bar before police arrived.

Kohlhausen played for TCU at Oklahoma and nearly led the Horned Frogs to an upset; they failed on a two-point conversation late in losing 30-29.

TCU, he figured, needed to get where OR is – “new royalty” in college football, thought of the same way as the game’s traditional powers, able to get the benefit of the doubt when it came to top bowls and playoff bids.

Oregon ranks 114th in scoring defense (36.8 ppg), 126th in passing defense (301.2 ypg) and allowed Oregon State’s anemic offense to score 35 points in the second half the last time they were on the field.

Boykin is a senior who passed for 3,575 yards with 31 touchdowns and 10 interceptions this season. He went 22-2 the last two seasons as TCU’s starting quarterback. He won the Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award last season and is a finalist for the award this year.
