Jerome Miron-US PRESSWIRE
The junior injured his foot and ankle in the first half of the game against Baylor a week ago. He figures to be replaced in the contest by two true freshman, James McFarland and Josh Carraway, in a committee approach. TCU has been through a substantial amount of injuries in 2012, with 12 starters missing games on the season.
Maponga was the only Horned Frogs player to be named to the All-Big 12 team in the preseason and was on his way to living up to that honor before suffering the injury. He amassed 12 tackles, including a sack, and three quarterback hurries.
TCU is ranked No. 23 in the nation and is 2-1 in conference play heading into Saturday’s home game. They’ll have a real test in Texas Tech, which is ranked No. 17 and is 2-1 in the Big 12.
