  Draft Scout by Conference









  TCU would've preferred to keep Max Duggan on the sidelines the entire game Saturday, coach Gary Patterson revealed on Monday. Duggan had a limited number of practice reps going into the game after being diagnosed with a heart condition that sidelined him for an extended time during training camp. He only returned to practice two weeks ago. That's why Patterson and the offensive coaching staff didn't play Duggan earlier in the season-opening 37-34 loss to Iowa State. Several fans questioned the decision as Duggan had a better day statistically than starter Matthew Downing. "Max had been out almost a month and a half," Patterson said on the Big 12 teleconference Monday.

"People need to understand the procedure he went through and what he had to do. In fact, on the final drive his hands were cramping up even playing a half to play at the level you have to play. "It wasn't a plan. We thought if Matthew Downing did good, we'd protect Max Duggan for one more ball game. He gets back to where he was - he'd be in full strength and condition to be able to play a full ball game. We made the decision at halftime to at least give him two series to see how it turned out. It turned out well, so he stayed in the ball game." Patterson reiterated his belief that injuries shouldn't be the reason players lose their position. "All indications are that'll be the way we do it [with Duggan starting]," Patterson said. - Oakland Tribune
