#Gary Patterson

Everybody loves a feel good story. Last season couldn't have gone much worse for the TCU football program, finishing with a disappointing 5-7 record. Under-pressure head coach Gary Patterson (the longest-serving coach in the school's history) resigned mid-season after two decades in the role. But that's what made this season all the more special as…

Alan Cole has defied the odds and successfully defended his Gamecock Scoop prediction crown through the bowl season. With just one game remaining Gamecock Scoop is giving you our thoughts on the National Championship team. TCU and Georgia have met four times on the gridiron, including a now forgotten 2016 Liberty Bowl in Kirby Smart' s first season…

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. (AP) - Georgia coach Kirby Smart was part of college football's greatest dynasty as an assistant for Nick Saban at Alabama and now is on the verge of launching his own. After going through the Crimson Tide last season to win Georgia's first national title in 41 years, Smart's top-ranked Bulldogs are back in the College Football…

The noise was deafening at State Farm Stadium on Saturday night. It was a blend of ecstasy and incredulity, withhands lifted in praise and tears of despair drowned by an interminable chant: T-C-U! T-C-U! T-C-U! Before the giant taco dropped on New Year's Eve - it's an Arizona tradition - fans from across the country gathered in Glendale for just…

John David Yonke One more win. Just one more win and the Georgia Bulldogs will be the first school to repeat as National Champions since the Alabama Crimson Tide did so in 2011 and 2012. Let's not get ahead of ourselves, however, as Sonny Dykes's TCU Horned Frogs look to conclude a magical season with a championship. Let's look at BetMGM…

Only one game remains in the 2022 season, and it will be played Monday night in SoFi Stadium. That's where the No. 1 Georgia Bulldogs, the defending national champions, will take on the Cinderella story of the 2022 season, the No. 3 TCU Horned Frogs, in the College Football Playoff National Championship Georgia, which will play in its third…

After being discounted by the public every step of the way, can the Horned Frogs disprove the doubters one more time to forever etch their names into the annals of college football history? Read on as we make our case for why TCU will win the 2023 CFP National Championship. It's been a whirlwind year in Fort Worth as Sonny Dykes took over a 5-7…

TCU has heard the doubt from practically every corner of the college football world. Coming off a 5-7 season and a coaching change, the Horned Frogs in the preseason were picked to finish seventh in the 10-team Big 12. Then came a gauntlet of four straight October games against ranked opponents. TCU destroyed Oklahoma by 31 points and followed with…

Heisman Trophy finalists Caleb Williams and Max Duggan headline the list of recipients for Bleacher Report's awards from the 2022 college football season. Altogether, B/R is handing out 13 honors as determined by our college football panel of David Kenyon, Adam Kramer, Kerry Miller, Morgan Moriarty and Brad Shepard. Each writer cast a vote for…

college football odds series for our Iowa State TCU prediction and pick. The TCU Horned Frogs are so close to completing a perfect regular season. No one expected this group to be a national championship contender with a great chance to make the College Football Playoff. The extra big surprise attached to the 2022 season for TCU is that it was a…

A best bet for Saturday's TCU-Texas matchup. The Longhorns are favored by a touchdown against the undefeated Horned Frogs. Saturday's biggest game takes place in Austin, Texas when TCU puts its undefeated record on the line at Texas. The fourth-ranked Horned Frogs are 4-0 against ranked teams this season but are seven-point underdogs against the…

The year was 2007 and Alabama was still looking more like a college football has-been than a program on the cusp of a dynasty. Nick Saban's first regular season as the coach of the Crimson Tide ended with a four-game losing streak that included a loss to Louisiana-Monroe. That was the last time Alabama lost consecutive games in a regular…

These are strange times we live in. Last Saturday, Alabama, and Clemson lost on the same day for the first time in nine years. For the first time in the playoff era, Alabama and Clemson - neither holding a top-five ranking for the first time in seven years - will both be watching from home. It is odd. And it is overdue. No sport has a greater need…

Every once in a while, college football presents us with point spreads that can seem "off." In Week 10, Clemson was favored by just 3.5 points over Notre Dame. At the time, Clemson was ranked No. 4 while Notre Dame was unranked. Well, Notre Dame went on to win outright. However, it's not every day you see teams within the same conference where the…

The Baylor Bears are set to host the Kansas State Wildcats on Saturday, as both teams try to stay in the race for the Big 12 Championship Game. The predictions for the Bears-Wildcats game will come later this week. But what about the rest of the Big 12? Staff members from Longhorns Country, Inside the Bears and Red Raider Review provide their picks…

Riding high with a three-game winning streak, Baylor has worked its way back into the Big 12 championship game conversation. But can the Bears win three more against the Big 12's three Top 25 teams? Beginning with Saturday's home game against No. 23 Kansas State, the Bears have an incredibly difficult road to get back to AT&T Stadium in Arlington,…

Jon Heacock doesn't know which Oklahoma State quarterback his Iowa State defense will face on Saturday in Stillwater. It's part of the game's intrigue, and in this case, there's a whole bunch of unknowns. Everyone knows injuries have run rampant through Mike Gundy's team, and that includes the most important position. Will the Cyclones face veteran…

A best bet for Saturday's TCU-Texas matchup. The Longhorns are favored by a touchdown against the undefeated Horned Frogs. Saturday's biggest game takes place in Austin, Texas when TCU puts its undefeated record on the line at Texas. The fourth-ranked Horned Frogs are 4-0 against ranked teams this season but are seven-point underdogs against the…

The First (Annual?) Gary Patterson Bowl goes down in Austin. Two questions will define No. 4 TCU at No. 18 Texas, one far more important than the other. First, who will be more satisfied in victory: TCU, moving to 10-0 with a team comprised of largely the same pieces of the 2021 Patterson-led team that went 5-7 with a win over Gary Patterson, or…

No. 4 TCU takes on No. 18 Texas in a prime-time Big 12 matchup at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium in Austin, Texas, on Saturday. Game time is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET, and it will be televised on ABC. TCU (9-0) continues to search for respect despite an unblemished record and the high-level play of quarterback Max Duggan. First-year coach…

The time has come folks. It's finally here. No more off-season, no more preseason magazines, no more projections, no more previews, no more talk. No, this weekend we have a real live slate chock-full of college football games. Sure, week 0 was a nice appetizer but it didn't quite fill me up. College football being back means the return of my weekly…

The Oklahoma Sooners will look to rebound with a Saturday afternoon college football matchup against the TCU Horned Frogs in Forth Worth.

Week 4 in college football is another schedule without a marquee, stop-what-you're-doing-and-get-to-a-TV game, but there's some positive news: (1) My picks went 5-1 against the spread last week, continuing a strong start to the season; and (2) the rubber is starting to hit the road in the top conferences across the country. No. 3 Ohio State plays…

TCU is SMU's oldest, most hated rival. And after four seasons at SMU, Dykes packed his bags and strolled the 40 miles down Interstate 30 and took the TCU job. Like I said -- I can't state definitely it's never happened before, but I can't think of another example in college football. The only parallel I can find is Chris Beard leaving Texas Tech…

While I got ya, here are nine things and one crazy prediction: Some bark from Sark. Texas' Steve Sarkisian is getting feistier by the minute, which is fine. He was a little Nick Sabanish on Monday when he was asked which quarterback was taking first-team snaps and he answered, "That's for me." It's the first time he hasn't been more candid about…

College football is officially back! The TCU Horned Frogs will begin their season by traveling to Boulder, Colorado to take on the Colorado Buffaloes.

It won't be easy walking in the footsteps of Gary Patterson, TCU's legendary head coach. However, Sonny Dykes just might be able to pull it off. It's not Patterson's 181 wins, but Dykes has enjoyed considerable success whenever he's arrived on the college football scene. And this time he made the drive not far west on the I-90 from SMU in Dallas to…
