TCU’s Trevone Boykin exits game with ankle injury

TCU’s football game Saturday at Oklahoma will have a 7 p.m. kickoff and be televised on ABC (WFAA/Channel 8 in Dallas/Fort Worth), the Big 12 announced.

TCU coach Gary Patterson says star receiver Josh Doctson will miss the rest of the season with a left wrist injury he sustained during last week’s loss to Oklahoma State. The effort was better.

As of early this week, Boykin was considered questionable for this game, which probably means that even if he plays he’ll be limited. The Horned Frogs were fortunate to escape with the win.

TCU is 1-4 ATS in its last five games on the road.

Props to Hawk for going a staff-best 8-2 this week, and being the only one to correctly call OR over Stanford.

This one might get ugly as Kansas allows 330 passing yards per game, one of the worst marks in the country, and Boykin is known to exploit defenses through the air. But KU’s D-Line was not just in a complementary role.

Junior safety Fish Smithson ranks second in the nation in solo tackles per game (7.6) and 17th in the nation in total tackles (9.8).

3 – Kansas did a good job on dynamic freshman KaVontae Turpin. Start with a low-scoring, defensive struggle.

Willis finished the game 20-of-41 for 203 yards and a touchdown.

1 – Wanted: More points. He’s one behind Oklahoma’s Michael Hunnicutt for most field goals in Big 12 history….

2 – This is pretty specific, but it was a ideal indication of exactly what’s keeping this team from breaking through.

Kansas coach David Beaty didn’t see TCU quarterback Trevon Boykin’s ankle injury as a sudden opportunity for his first win. “They said he shouldn’t go, and I said, ‘OK'”. The drive lasted nine plays and 53 yards, and the Kansas defense didn’t fold. The punt team trotted onto the field and an opportunity was lost.

TCU quarterback Trevone Boykin is doubtful to return to Saturday’s game against Kansas after falling awkwardly on his right ankle at the end of a run. A loss to Kansas, with or without Boykin at the helm, would have been horrific.

Coming into the game, everybody expected Kansas to get demolished.

Did you believe that it was possible, that this could possibly be real life, that the greatest upset in Big 12 history was playing out on the turf of Amon G. Carter Stadium, and that was actually the Kansas program, getting hyped on the far sideline? The 23 points are also the fewest Kansas has given up in 2015, as Minnesota held TCU to the same number in week one.
