No. 24 TCU will be without leading rusher Kevorian Barnes against Arizona State
No. 24 TCU will be without leading rusher Kevorian Barnes for a second straight week.
Barnes was listed as out on the Horned Frogs injury availability report for Arizona State, still recovering from the lower body injury he suffered against Abilene Christian. Injury reports are mandated by the Big 12 for conference games in football and men’s and women’s basketball.
Barnes leads TCU with 156 yards rushing and averages 7.4 yards per carry. TCU will lean on Jeremy Payne and Trent Battle for the second straight week after the duo combined for 113 rushing yards in TCU’s 35-24 win over SMU.
Other notable players that will be out include cornerback Avery Helm and wide receiver Jordyn Bailey. It will be the third game Helm has missed this season while it will be the second for Bailey, who also serves as a kick returner for the Horned Frogs.
It wasn’t all bad news on the injury front as the Horned Frogs starting defensive end Zach Chapman practiced on Tuesday and will be available against the Sun Devils. Chapman one of TCU’s best pass rushers and was a freshman All-American last season.
