The TCU Horned Frogs will be without leading rusher B.J. Catalon in their game against the Kansas State Wildcats with first place on the line in the Big 12 in this College Football Playoff elimination game

B.J. Catalon missed practice all week with a reported upper torso injury so the loss of him for this weekend should not be a surprise as the Horned Frogs enter the Big 12 game of the week without one of their top weapons.

Catalon leads the Horned Frogs in rushing with 493 yards and 10 touchdowns and he has been a nice weapon as a receiver out of the backfield for quarterback Trevone Boykin with 14 receptions for 163 yards and a touchdown.

With Catalon unavailable for the game with first place in the conference on the line and a chance to move up the College Football Playoff rankings, the Horned Frogs are expected to start Aaron Green in his place.

Green is second on the team in rushing with 378 yards on 8.4 yards per carry and has three touchdowns. Trevorris Johnson and Kyle Hicks could also see some carries, but the extra burden of moving the ball on the ground likely falls with Boykin who is second on the team with 423 rushing yards.

Boykin has played himself into the Heisman conversation with back-to-back 400-yard performances and a seven-touchdown game last month and has arguably been the most improved player in the nation this year, so the pressure will be on him in this big, Big 12 game.
