2009 Texas Christian Horned Frogs

[Jack Lambert]

Here are the projected white starters for the Horned Frogs this year. They had 8 white starters last year. I didn't think it was possible that Gary Patterson would play two white skill players. But he made up for it with the nearly coal black defense.

Texas Christian will also start a white FB, Luke Shivers. It also looks like DE Ross Forrest is in a position battle.

Thanks for the update, Reb. That should give TCU 10 white starters this year.

Yes Sir! Its a shame that they are as black as they are. I hope they get trounced by BYU and some of the whiter MWC teams this year.

What are the odds on this white RB to start?

 

[Jimmy Chitwood]

he's got a good chance, whiteCB. he's fast, tough, and he has good hands in the passing game. he's plenty talented.

of course, he has one HUGE liability that he can't overcome ... the stigma of his skin tone. so we'll have to wait and see.

I'd say a good chance. Christian is a superior athlete, but you can never tell with a guy like Patterson at coach. Christian, when given the chance last year, excelled when I saw him. Edited by: Jack Lambert

I've been looking for an updated TCU depth chart and haven't found one. And I don't get ESPN so I didn't see the lineups on the game last night. I'm hoping they are still as white as Jack's original projections.

referendum, try looking at the weekly release for the Utah game. It should be on their website and will list the current 2 deep for Texas Christian.
