TCU Football: Derius Davis and Johnny Hodges Receive Weekly Big 12 Honors
In this story:
It was an exciting win for TCU when they took down Texas Tech 34-24 on Saturday. It moved the Frogs to 9-0 for the first time since 2010 and have now moved into the No. 4 spot in the College Football Playoff committee's rankings this week.
Derius Davis has been awarded the Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Week. Davis had an 82-yard punt return to open up the scoring for the Frogs. The touchdown gave him sole possession for most punt returns for touchdowns in program history.
Davis also tied the all-time mark for most special teams touchdowns. He added a touchdown catch to cap off his incredible day. His speed has proven to be huge for TCU in flipping field position.
He is one of the most explosive players in college football and Saturday proved that. This is the second time Davis has received the award this season.
Linebacker Johnny Hodges received the award for Co-Newcomer of the Week. Hodges finished the game with eight tackles which led the team. He also leads the team with 55 tackles on the season. He is fantastic at moving up and down the field and has been an anchor for this TCU defense.
