TCU Football: 5 biggest questions facing the Horned Frogs in spring 2018

TCU football will have some important players to replace in 2018, but what are the five biggest questions facing the Horned Frogs this spring?

There may not have been a bigger surprise in the Big 12 than TCU, although Iowa State gave the Horned Frogs a run for their money in that regard. Still, Gary Patterson’s team went 11-3 and finish No. 9 in the final AP poll despite losing to Oklahoma two crucial times during the season.

Entering the 2018 season, the Horned Frogs have some serious questions to answer, especially with Kenny Hill graduating. The veteran quarterback spent some big seasons with the Horned Frogs and helped lead them to strong finishes. However, there will have to be players stepping up to replace him, both in leadership and under center.

What’re the five biggest questions facing TCU this spring?

5. Can offense still be effective without Kenny Hill?

Losing Kenny Hill is a big blow to the Horned Frogs. They are without their leader under center who passed for over 6,300 yards and 40 touchdowns as a member of the Horned Frogs, a two-year career. However, it’s time to figure out just how good this team can be without him.

The offense needs to figure some things out at the receiver position, running back and now under center, so we will find out if the offense can still be effective without Hill.

TCU averaged about 420 yards per game and 33.6 points per game in 2017 and that was good for No. 29 in the country. This spring will tell us a lot about how effective this offense will be with a new No. 1 at the quarterback position.
