2016 football schedule released
TCU to host seven home games and play outside of Texas only twice.
TCU Football’s 2016 schedule will feature seven home games — six against Power 5 opponents — and 10 games in the state of Texas.
The Big 12 Conference released its conference schedule this afternoon, giving the Horned Frogs their first look at next season’s slate, which includes home matchups against potential Top 25 teams Arkansas, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State.
The Frogs will open 2016 with three straight home games for the first time since 1993, hosting non-conference foes South Dakota State and Arkansas before facing off against Big 12 mate Iowa State. The games are part of seven contests to be played at Amon G. Carter Stadium. It’s just the second time in school history for the Frogs to have seven home games. In 2014, TCU went 7-0 in Fort Worth, including three victories over ranked opponents.
Also like 2014, the 2016 Frogs will play outside of Texas just twice in the regular season — on Oct. 8 at Kansas and Oct. 22 at West Virginia.
The Frogs open the 2016 campaign Sept. 3 versus South Dakota State. A Sept. 10 home game versus Arkansas is part of a 13-year run in which TCU will have at least one non-conference game against a Power 5 opponent. Then the Frogs open Big 12 Conference play against Iowa State on Sept. 17. The following week, the Frogs hit the road against long-time rival SMU.
TCU will also host Oklahoma (Oct. 1), Texas Tech (Oct. 29), Oklahoma State (Nov. 19) and Kansas State (Dec. 3). In addition to Kansas and West Virginia, the Frogs will travel to Baylor (Nov. 5) and Texas (Nov. 24), which will be played on Thanksgiving night.
