More ESPN love.
But it's the defensive side of the ball where TCU's injuries have been so baffling, missing seven key members. Secondary starters Ranthony Texada and Kenny Iloka barely got the season started before they were out with year-ending knee injuries. Same for linebacker Sammy Douglas and defensive end James McFarland. The only player from the 2014 defense who hasn't graduated, left for the NFL or been sidelined is safety Derrick Kindred. He has been joined on defense by 14 players making their first collegiate starts, tops in the nation. Just behind them is UCF, which has fielded 13 rookies on defense and are 0-7. TCU is 7-0.
