FWST: TCU ‘kind of blah’ in scrimmage, not handling heat, Patterson says

BY CARLOS MENDEZ cmendez@star-telegram.com

TCU coach Gary Patterson said his team’s first scrimmage was “kind of blah,” but he was clearly more disappointed in how the Horned Frogs are handling the heat during the first week of fall camp.

“We’re not very good on offense, and we don’t know how to fight through the heat,” he said. “It’s the first team I’ve had in 10 years that doesn’t know how to do that. We’ve had some kids banged up, but the bottom line is, we’re not very good right now. Either side of the ball.”

Patterson uses the August heat to gauge his teams’ concentration and mental toughness. But it’s common for some practices to end inside in the Sam Baugh Indoor Practice Facility.

 “We’ve come in more right now than we ever have,” Patterson said. “We’ve got to because they can’t handle what we’re doing. …. We’re not fighting through the heat. No attention to detail. We’re not very good. Either side. Right now, I’m not happy with it.”
