10 TCU at Kansas t Sept. 15, 2012 t Lawrence, Kan. t 11 a.m. CDT t FX 10 FROG DEFENSIVE NOTES A TCU TRADITION t Since the NCAA began tracking statistics in 1937, TCU has led the nation in total defense more than any other team. All five No. 1 rankings are in the last 12 seasons. t In 2010, TCU became just the third program in NCAA history to top the nation in total defense in three consecutive seasons ( ). The others are Toledo ( ) and Oklahoma ( ). STINGY D t The 70 yards surrendered to Grambling State marked the second-lowest total by a TCU opponent in 12 seasons under Gary Patterson. t The lowest total allowed by a Patterson defense was 60 yards to Northern Illinois in a 37-7 TCU victory in the 2006 Poinsettia Bowl. t The Frogs held Grambling State to five first downs and a 3-of- 14 mark on third-down conversions. t The Tigers had just two first downs in the first half. SHUTOUTS t With its 56-0 victory over Grambling State, TCU recorded the 10th shutout in Gary Patterson s 12 seasons as head coach. t The Frogs have had at least one shutout in each of the last four years. NEW FACES t Seven of TCU s 11 defensive starters against Grambling State were making either their first or second career starts. t The four first-time starters on defense were defensive end Devonte Fields, defensive tackle Davion Pierson, linebacker Joel Hasley and safety Elisha Olabode. t Making just their second career starts were defensive tackle Jon Lewis, strong safety Sam Carter and weak safety Jonathan Anderson. IMMEDIATE IMPACTS t True freshman defensive end Devonte Fields had a team-high three tackles for loss, including a sack, among five stops versus Grambling State. t Fields is one of just five true freshmen to start in the 12-year tenure of head coach Gary Patterson. Four of those five true freshmen have been on the defensive line (Kelly Griffin, 2007; Chucky Hunter, 2011; Jon Lewis, 2011; Devonte Fields, 2012) GAME-BY-GAME STARTERS TCU OFFENSE BALL HAWKS t Elisha Olabode s 28-yard interception return for a touchdown against Grambling State marked the ninth score in TCU s last 25 picks. t TCU has returned three of its last four picks for touchdowns. t Olabode s touchdown was his first career pick and the first interception for a score by a Frog since Kris Gardner's 16-yard return against UNLV on Dec. 3, t Olabode had the first pick for a touchdown by a TCU safety since current Carolina Panther Colin Jones went 30 yards at UNLV on Oct. 30, t TCU is one of just three teams (Maryland, Tulsa) to have three pick sixes in each of the last two seasons. PLAYER TO WATCH t Defensive end Stansly Maponga is TCU s lone preseason All- Big 12 selection. t Maponga appears on watch lists for the Bronko Nagurski Trophy, Chuck Bednarik Award, Ted Hendricks Award and Rotary Lombardi Award. REACHING THE QB t Stansly Maponga has taken part in a sack in nine of his last 12 games, including last week s Grambling State contest. SELECT COMPANY t Stansly Maponga was one of four players in the nation in 2011 to rank in the top 10 in forced fumbles and top 25 in sacks. t Maponga tied for 10th nationally in forced fumbles (5) and 24th in sacks (9.0). He added a team-best 13 1/2 tackles for loss and two fumble recoveries. t Maponga s 55 tackles topped all TCU linemen and were sixth on the team. NOSE FOR THE BALL t Stansly Maponga either forced a fumble or made a recovery in six of the 13 games last season. t Maponga s five forced fumbles were the most by a Frog since All-American Jerry Hughes led the nation with six in SACK WATCH t TCU had three sacks against Grambling State. t The sacks were by defensive ends Stansly Maponga and Devonte Fields and safety Sam Carter. t While Maponga increased his career total to 12 1/2 sacks, Fields and Carter recorded their first career sacks. t TCU has at least three sacks in four of its last eight games.

Jonathan Anderson Kenny Cain Elisha Olabode Jason Verrett NEW FACES t The 2012 TCU defensive coaching staff has a pair of new faces, although one is quite familiar, in safeties coach Chad Glasgow and linebackers coach Randy Shannon. t Glasgow was TCU s safeties coach for 10 seasons ( ) before serving last year as Texas Tech s defensive coordinator. In his last three campaigns with TCU, the Frogs led the nation in total defense each season. t Shannon, a former head coach at Miami (Fla.), is in his first year as TCU s linebackers coach. In five of his six seasons ( ) as their defensive coordinator, the Hurricanes ranked in the top seven nationally in total defense. Shannon was a fouryear letterman at linebacker and a starter on Miami's 1987 national championship team. He has three national championship rings as a player and coach. YOUNG FACES t TCU starts just one senior (linebacker Kenny Cain) on its defense. t Walk-on cornerback Brian Alexis is the lone senior in the secondary. There are no seniors at the safety position. MAGIC NUMBER 17 t Under head coach Gary Patterson, TCU is 78-2 when allowing 17 points or less. TACKLE CHART t Linebacker Paul Dawson led TCU with six tackles against Grambling State, while fellow linebackers Kenny Cain and Joel Hasley along with defensive end Devonte Fields tied for second with five stops. t Dawson, a wide receiver at Dallas Skyline High School before playing one season at Trinity Valley Community College, was making his TCU debut. TIGHT RACE FOR TACKLE LEAD t Kenny Cain became the fourth different linebacker in the last four years to top TCU in tackles with 72 in t The last non-linebacker to lead TCU in stops was safety Marvin White with 86 in LINEBACKER U t The last five starting linebackers to complete their eligibility at TCU went on to the NFL: Name NFL Team(s) David Hawthorne Seattle, ; New Orleans, 2012-present Robert Henson Washington, Jason Phillips Baltimore, ; Carolina, 2011-present Daryl Washington Arizona, 2010-present Tank Carder Cleveland, 2012-present t Four of the five linebackers above are still active in the NFL. t Eight of TCU s 13 active players in the NFL are from the defensive side of the ball. KEY NUMBERS t TCU has won 23 consecutive games when allowing 28 points or less. t TCU is 75-6 under Patterson when surrendering 300 yards or less. t The Frogs are 59-3 in their last 62 games when allowing less than 333 yards of offense. NO FRIEND OF RUNNING BACKS t During his 140-game tenure as head coach, Gary Patterson has seen only yard rushing games by opposing players. MAKING HIS MARK t Jason Verrett s 58 tackles last season, which placed fifth on the Frogs, were the most by a TCU cornerback since 2001, when Jason Goss also totaled 58 stops in Gary Patterson s first season as head coach. t Goss has returned to TCU to complete work on his degree and is an undergradate student assistant coach for the Frogs.

He played as a true freshman at Division II Eastern New Mexico before matriculating to TCU. AWARD WATCH t Brandon Carter appears on the watch list for the Paul Hornung Award, recognizing the nation s most versatile player. t In addition to averaging a team-best 13.7 yards on punt returns last season, Carter placed fourth on the Frogs with 23 receptions. t Carter had a 21-yard touchdown catch on his lone touch in the Grambling State game.

BUSY DEBUTS t True freshman placekicker Jaden Oberkrom was 8-for-8 on extra-point attempts against Grambling State, while recording touchbacks on three of six kickoffs. PATIENCE PAID OFF t Fifth-year senior and graduate student walk-on Cale Patterson made his first appearance on the field for the Frogs in the Grambling State game. t Patterson, no relation to TCU head coach Gary Patterson, had two punts in addition to holding on PATs and field goals. t Patterson had a long punt of 46 yards. t Patterson is one of 17 family members to have either graduated from TCU or currently be a student. BLOCK THAT KICK t TCU has blocked three punts in its last seven games dating back to last season. A STRONG TRADITION t TCU had the first-team All-MW return specialist all seven seasons it was in the league (Cory Rodgers, 2005; Brian Bonner, ; Jeremy Kerley, ; Greg McCoy, 2011). t With McCoy being selected the 2011 MW Special Teams Player of the Year, a Frog garnered that honor each of the last three seasons (Jeremy Kerley, ). SNAPPER U t Daniel Shelley will be in his third year as TCU s deep snapper. t The last two snappers to leave TCU went on to the NFL. t Jared Retkofsky won a Super Bowl ring with the 2008 Pittsburgh Steelers, while Clint Gresham is currently with the Seattle Seahawks.
