re: Gary Patterson says TCU gave us 10 points

quote:

Patterson has 11 more games to play, so it's his job to boost the confidence and strengthen the mindset of his players. But Patterson, his assistants and every TCU player knows they were thoroughly beaten by LSU.

coaches have several different ways to communicate losses to the public. what he's saying is "we are pretty close to being as good as LSU" and he wants his players to know that. i agree they are pretty close to us and that should fare well for them in the big 12. i say they are a contender in teh big 12 and would be in the top 7 in the sec and possibly higher.
