GAMEDAY INFORMATION
- After playing its first game out of state this season, TCU returns home to host Kansas State Saturday at 2:30 p.m.
- Before traveling to Kansas last week, the Horned Frogs played their opening seven games in Texas. In addition to four home dates, TCU had contests in Dallas, Arlington and Austin.
- Saturday features the two winningest coaches at their respective schools in TCU's Gary Patterson (163) and Kansas State's Bill Snyder (213). Patterson and Snyder are the only two active head coaches nationally with at least 163 wins at their current schools.
- Patterson is a 1983 graduate of Kansas State. He was a strong safety and outside linebacker for the Wildcats.
- TCU is 38-15 in regular-season games following a loss under Patterson.
- Patterson is 3-3 as a head coach versus his alma mater.
SERIES HISTORY
- TCU and Kansas State are playing for just the 12th time in their history with the Horned Frogs holding a 6-5 series lead.
- Since beginning Big 12 play in 2012, TCU has split its six meetings with Kansas State. The road team has won four of the six games. The Horned Frogs are 2-1 in Manhattan with the Wildcats 2-1 in Fort Worth.
- Overall, TCU is 3-2 against Kansas State in Fort Worth and 3-3 in Manhattan.
- Prior to TCU beginning Big 12 play in 2012, the schools had not met on the gridiron since 1986.
- The first game in the series was a 45-0 K-State victory in Manhattan in 1922.
- After that initial game, the schools did not play until four consecutive seasons from 1983-86.
- A 52-45 win in Manhattan in 2015 saw TCU rally from a 35-17 halftime deficit. At the time, it equaled the largest come-from-behind win (18 points) in Gary Patterson's tenure as head coach.
TIES TO THE SUNFLOWER STATE
- TCU head coach Gary Patterson was born in Larned, Kan., and is a native of Rozel, Kan.
- Patterson went to Pawnee Heights High School and then Dodge City Community College, before heading to Kansas State.
PROTECTING THE CARTER
- The Horned Frogs are 84-21 in 18 seasons under head coach Gary Patterson at Amon G. Carter Stadium.
- TCU went 6-0 in Amon G. Carter Stadium last season for its third perfect campaign at home in the last four seasons.
TCU NOTABLES
- Over the last five seasons, TCU (43-18, 27-14) has the Big 12's second-best overall and conference records.
- TCU is one of just five programs nationally to finish in the top 10 of the final polls at least three times in the last four seasons. The others are Alabama, Clemson, Ohio State and Oklahoma.
- Gary Patterson's 18 seasons as TCU's head coach are more than the combined tenures of the 11 other FBS head coaches in the state of Texas.
- Under Patterson, TCU has posted seven top-10 finishes and 11 in the top 25. The Horned Frogs have won at least 11 games in 10 of the last 15 seasons.
- Patterson has accounted for 25.2 percent (163-of674) of TCU's all-time football victories.
- Ten of TCU's 12 regular-season games are in Texas. TCU will stay in the same Fort Worth hotel for nine of its 12 contests. The Horned Frogs have only two flights this season.
- TCU is in the midst of a $100 million premium seating expansion of Amon G. Carter Stadium. Completion will be in time for the 2019 season.
- Three of TCU's losses this season are to teams ranked in the AP top 15: No. 7 Oklahoma, No. 8 Ohio State and No. 15 Texas. The Horned Frogs held second-half leads against the Buckeyes and Longhorns. TCU also led in the fourth quarter against Texas Tech and Kansas.
- TCU has held all eight opponents below their season total offense averages.
- Preseason Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year Ben Banogu had 4.5 tackles for loss, including two sacks, at Kansas. He has a team-best 6.5 sacks on the year.
- In the Kansas game, Mike Collins became the first non-Texan starting quarterback at TCU in the 21 seasons Gary Patterson has been on campus. Collins completed 23-of-33 passes for 351 yards and a touchdown while adding two rushing scores.
- Jalen Reagor had a career-best 177 receiving yards on a career-high tying eight receptions at Kansas. Thirty-one of his team-best 46 receptions this year have been for a first down or touchdown.
