SEASON COMPLETE

TCU gave Baylor a very solid run, but Casey Pachall‘s three interceptions proved to be too much for the Horned Frogs to overcome.

Now, TCU heads into the offseason wondering if Gary Patterson will be back as their head coach or off to USC. If that happens then what becomes of the TCU program?

Assuming a Patterson return, TCU figures to be much better in 2014 with a healthy return of key defensive parts and with a – one would assume – significantly better offense. Get those things back and TCU will be in the hunt for a conference title. But that doesn’t happen if Patterson isn’t the head coach.
