TCU will be without one of its top defensive players for tomorrow's Poinsettia Bowl matchup with the Broncos, causing the Bronco running game to breathe a huge sigh of relief.
Linebacker Robert Henson, a senior and the team's second-leading tackler, was left at home in Fort Worth due to problems with academics. They just don't make football tutors like they used to.
Henson, who earned first-team All-Mountain West Conference honors, had 73 tackles, nine tackles for loss, one sack, two interceptions and a forced fumble this season. But what the Horned Frogs might miss more than anything is his leadership.
What they'll miss least is his help on the word jumble.
Henson's absence can only be good news for the Broncos, who were looking for any sort of advantage against one of the top units in the country. His replacement is junior Daryl Washington, who doesn't have too shabby of a resume himself. Washington is the team's fourth-leading tackler.
Still, Bronco fans have to be a little relieved to know that the Horned Frogs won't be 100 percent for the P-Bowl.
God bless Biology 101.

I look at this news and think, 'Will they act like Oregon fans and say we beat them because their number 2 defensive guy was out.' But then again, We lost Mike T. Williams, so I'd say that makes it about even.
The point is, we are going to win with Winn, no doubt with Hout, and…. can't think of anything to rhyme with Winterswyk… Please don't take my poetic license away!

If you will permit me, pretendhuman, …psych with Winterswyk.
I was going to comment that if we win, now, everyone will say we didn't play their best Defense, but you said it best,…and first.

Of course they will say that. They already say that when we talk about our record againist the MWC. "You didn't play our teams at their best." Quit thinking your stuff doesn't stink. At least we can admit the WAC has weak teams. Notice how none of us have said "Colorado State was lucky they faced Fresno State when it is down. Fresno had a lot of injuries. Blah, blah, blah…"
