Stand out TCU receiver Jalen Reagor on the upcoming season.

The Horned Frogs last season was not one to remember. The team ended with a winning record (7-6), but TCU fans did expect more from their team. Coming into the 2018-2019 season, the Horned Frogs were ranked in the AP top 15; they ended the season out of the top 25 and won one of the most bizarre bowl games ever. But TCU fans should remain optimistic because history says they will “bounce back.”

There is a trend that is becoming apparent with TCU head coach Gary Patterson. He is know for having bounce back seasons. In 2016, Patterson went 6-7 and with the same team the next year the Horned Frogs went 11-3 with a ranking of fourth in the nation through mid season.

Reagor said that he believes the bounce back season will happen again because of the “earn the chip” mentality that Patterson is instilling in his team.

“We have to earn our way back,” the junior wide receiver said. “We can’t have a bad year and then just expect things; we can’t feel entitled. We got to earn stuff. That’s the main goal.”

TCU has not appeared on any preseason top 25 polls and that is something that flows well in the earn the chip motto because they do not wanted to be handed anything. TCU has a chip on their shoulder this year and they look to earn a national chip too.
