1. Can TCU overcome the obstacle that has been Big 12 conference games at the Carter?
Answer: Ultimately, no. The Frogs end the 2012 campaign 0-4 in conference play at home. It was a familiar story on Saturday, as TCU battled to the end, but fell just short. It must be noted that TCU has had stout competition in its home games this season: a sneaky Iowa State team in a game only two days after the DWI heard ‘round the world, a Texas Tech team that came to Fort Worth playing its best football of the season, and two teams that finished in the top 12 nationally in Kansas State and Oklahoma. But, TCU had chances in each of those games, and simply could not close.
