FORT WORTH, Texas -- TCU coach Gary Patterson isnt worried about the College Football Playoff or that the Horned Frogs dropped out of the national rankings.Im just trying to beat Iowa State. Thats where all the mistakes are made, Patterson said about focusing on those other issues. Shoot, Im fired up were not in the (Top 25 ).The young Frogs (1-1), coming off a double-overtime home loss to Arkansas, play the first game that counts in the Big 12 standings Saturday in their third consecutive home game to start the season. It is a pre-noon kickoff against Iowa State (0-2).Patterson reminded everyone this week that the Cyclones won in Fort Worth four years ago in what was TCUs first Big 12 home game after joining the league.What Patterson didnt bring up was the unique circumstance surrounding the game in 2012, which came two days after quarterback Casey Pachalls DWI arrest and suspension. Or that the Frogs beat Iowa State 55-3 in the 2014 regular-season finale at home to clinch a share of the Big 12 title.In TCUs loss to the Razorbacks, new quarterback Kenny Hill led TCU to 21 consecutive points to go ahead with 2 minutes left, before Arkansas drove for a tying score and the Frogs had a short field goal blocked with 10 seconds left.There wasnt as many tears in that locker room the other night, as much as I would have liked to have seen, for that close a ballgame, the way it turned out, Patterson said. A lot of that has to do with you have a lot of young guys that, they havent put in enough heat here, they havent put in that offseason work here.TCU has played more freshmen (12) than seniors (nine) this season.While new Iowa State coach Matt Campbell will still be trying to figure out how to handle quarterbacks Joel Lanning and backup Jacob Park -- both who have struggled so far -- he knows that Hill provides a challenge for his defense. Hill, the former Texas A&M transfer, has started slow and finished slow in both of his TCU starts. He has thrown for 816 yards and three touchdowns and also leads the Horned Frogs with 138 yards rushing and five more scores.You see a guy that has the ability to make all the throws, Campbell said. When things break down a little bit, hes got the ability and athleticism to make plays with his feet.Some other things to known when the Cyclones and Frogs play at Amon G. Carter Stadium, where TCU is 75-15 under Patterson:CATCHING CYCLONEIowa State junior Allen Lazard leads the Big 12 with 120 yards receiving a game, and is the first Iowa State receiver since 2003 with consecutive back-to-back 100-yard games. His streak of 25 consecutive games with a reception is a school record.TRYING TO AVOID A TRIOIowa State is trying to avoid its first 0-3 start since 1997. That will be quite a task for the Cyclones , who are more than three-TD underdogs and ranked 127th out of 128 FBS teams at just 11.5 points per game. Campbell said hes never been a one-quarterback guy and indicated that both Lanning and Park, the transfer from Georgia, could play against the Frogs. Lanning has started the last seven games.LOT OF YOUNGSTERSThe Cyclones and Horned Frogs have both already played six true freshmen in only two games this season. Iowa State had played only six true freshmen combined the past three seasons. TCU had 15 true freshmen see action last year.EXTRA, EXTRAThree of TCUs last four games have been decided in multiple overtimes, including last weeks 41-38 double-overtime loss to Arkansas that snapped the Frogs 14-game home winning streak. They finished the 2015 regular season with a double-OT home win over Baylor before their big comeback and triple-OT victory over Oregon in the Alamo Bowl.---Online: AP college football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org Joe Smith Astros Jersey . The Americans, skipped by John Shuster, seized the advantage in the eighth end by scoring five points for a 7-3 lead.

Third-seeded Murray had the easiest path to victory on New Years Eve, barely breaking a sweat during his 6-0, 6-0 win over 2,129th-ranked Qatari wildcard recipient Mousa Shanan Zayed. https://www.cheapastros.com/2693o-wade-miley-jersey-astros.html . Perhaps Carroll was so prepared for a break because he believes there is very little the Seattle Seahawks need heading into the off-season. "I dont see anything that we need to add. We just have to get better," Carroll said. Cheap Astros Jerseys . The scientists believe the small earthquake during a Marshawn Lynch touchdown was likely greater than Lynchs famous "beast quake" touchdown run three years ago, which also came against New Orleans during a playoff game. Aledmys Diaz Jersey . You can watch the game live on TSN at 7:30pm et/4:30pm pt. The Flyers had won seven of eight before dropping their last two outings on consecutive days over the weekend. Philadelphia was handed a 6-3 loss by the visiting Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday afternoon before dropping a 4-1 decision to the Rangers the following night in New York City. The All Blacks midfield concerns have deepened with the loss of centre George Moala for Saturday nights Bledisloe Cup clash with the Wallabies in Sydney.Impressive against Wales earlier this year, Moala has been ruled out of the Rugby Championship opener at ANZ Stadium after suffering a medial ligament tear at training on Monday.Its another headache for All Blacks coach Steve Hansen, already coming to grips with losing Sonny Bill Williams for the entire campaign due to his Achilles injury at the Rio Olympics sevens last week.After decades of stability, the centres were already shaping as a potential area of rare vulnerability for the top-ranked All Blacks following the retirements of veteran pair Maa Nonu and Conrad Smith after last years successful World Cup defence.Nonu, Smith and Williams boast some 230 Tests of experience and have each won two Rugby World Cups.Since the days of Bruce Robertson, Joe Stanley, Frank Bunce and Tana Umaga through to Smith and Nonu, the All Blacks have always prospered with long-serving centres.Now Hansen is seemingly certain to use the relatively inexperienced international duo of Ryan Crotty and Malakai Fekitoa against Australia, with young rookie Anton Lienert-Brown unlikely to start in the Bledisloe Cup cauldron after being called up as Williams squad replacement.All Blacks assistant coach Ian Foster conceded the Moala setbaack was disappointing.ddddddddddddIts certainly different, isnt it, Foster said.People are sort of used to the Nonu-Smith (combination). Chuck Sonny Bill in there as well.I wouldnt call it vulnerable but Id certainly say we are building combinations.While New Zealands centre stocks are suddenly depleted, Wallabies coach Michael Cheika has the luxury of being able to call upon his World Cup pairing of Matt Giteau and Tevita Kuridrani, or consider any number of other options.Israel Folau, Samu Kerevi, Adam Ashley-Cooper, Rob Horne and Matt Toomua are other competent centres in the Wallabies squad fighting for a starting spot.I dont know whether thats an area theyre going to target or not, Foster said.Theres no hiding the fact that weve got players that are less experienced than guys who have been there in the past.But if look at the guys weve got there, Ryans got a number of Tests under his belt and Malakais the same.Obviously losing George means were short of that option but weve got guys who have played a bit of Test-match rugby and have played over here as well.So whichever way we go, its exciting for us.We know its new, but its something we saw in June. We made good progress in the midfield and now its going to be a next step up. ' ' '
