No matter how many injuries TCU suffers, the one constant in life seems to be strong defense.
Despite having multiple starters go in and out of the lineup, TCU finished No. 1 in the Big 12 in total defense and passing defense, No. 2 in scoring defense and No. 3 in rushing defense. The group finished No. 16 nationally in S&P and held seven opponents to fewer than 20 points.
