Sam Ehlinger chases his third Big 12 Player of the Week award
The last time that TCU came to Austin, they were the ranked team but left with a loss. Sam Ehlinger threw for 280 yards and responsible for three touchdowns in that game. He wasn’t able to run the football the way many have been accustomed to but he did have one rushing touchdown in that game.
Ehlinger is coming off his second-straight Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week honor, can he make it a three-peat? He started out with 688 yards passing and 10 touchdowns in their first two games. Can Ehlinger continue his hot start as he continues to chase the elusive Heisman Trophy?
Against Iowa State, the TCU defense gave up just 211 yards and one touchdown. However, they did allow 78% completion to Brock Purdy. The combination of that and the Cyclones run game was too much for the Frogs defense. Look for Sam to take advantage of this defense.
