TCU starting defense

TheGarfather

Pretty much a regular
Can someone with (local or otherwise better) insight tell me what the current situation is with this defense? Who is in the two deep at each position would be a place to start. I am wondering if their attrition is about to hit a critical mass, sort of the way it did with Notre Dame last year. You can lose a guy here, and even a guy there, but when you starting losing your most experienced and talented players in each position group it just gets to be too much, you can't plug and retrain that many guys during the course of the season.
 
Any receivers with size are going to get a lot of work.
I'll be ready to see that total this week.

Hopefully, this isn't a duplicate of one already posted.

As a reinforcement of how difficult it can be to bet these games sometimes, I'm watching the post game presser for Nev/Ags. Sumlin comes across with the fact that Miles Garrett had his wisdom teeth removed earlier in the week. Sumlin plays it real close when it comes to injury. His favorite phrase regarding injuries is "this isn't the NFL".
Lotta coaches that way.
 
According to numerous reports, TCU senior defensive end Mike Tuaua and redshirt freshman wide receiver Andre Petties-Wilson were arrested on felony robbery and bodily injury charges for allegedly beating up fellow students outside of a party, and then stealing their case of Keystone Light.


The arrest warrant for Tuaua (you can read it here) says the alleged incident occurred at 11:30 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 4, and began when a beer can hit one of three guys who were walking down the street with the case of Keystone Light in hand. They turned to find three men standing in a front yard, and asked why they had thrown the beer. Here’s one of the alleged victims’ description of what happened next:


A black male suspect, wearing a TCU backpack (the type of which is issued to TCU athletes), hit REDACTED with a closed first to his left temple. REDACTED felt pain and backed away quickly and bent over. REDACTED ran, in fear he was going to be assaulted. When REDACTED looked up, he observed the three suspects kicking and punching REDACTED. REDACTED described REDACTED as “laying on the ground in the fetal position” while the suspects where (sic) hitting and kicking him.


REDACTED stated that the suspects stopped assaulting REDACTED and one suspect said, “Get the beer.” REDACTED stated the, “Asian-pacific male with big hair” picked up the case of beer which belonged to REDACTED and all three suspects ran south through an alley.

At the scene of the offense, FWPD officers observed several items that are believed to have be (sic) left behind by the suspects, to include; one bottle of Bombay Sapphire gin, one bottle of Heineken beer, and a pair of red and black sunglasses. CSSU officers processed the scene. Also found was a black Apple iPhone cell phone that rang while officers were at the scene. The name that appeared on the caller ID was “Mike Tuaua”.

 
With the current state of their defense, TCU is just another Big 12 team. Nothing to really separate them from half a dozen others in conference at this point.
