TCU Coach Sees Winning Time for Frogs in 1976
TCU coach Jim Shofner spoke with Southwest Conference writers in Fort Worth claiming it is time for the Horned Frogs to win and aim for the Cotton Bowl. He cited a 28-21 season finale win over Rice ending a 20-game skid and predicted strong offense, improved defense, and a spoiler role in the SWC with QB Jimmy Dan Elzner and WR Mike Renfro leading the charge. Shofner singled Texas Tech as the team to beat and warned that Texas and others face problems despite their tradition.
