Dykes brushes aside boos from TCU crowd as just 'bad part' of job.
TCUI had a job to do and I was trying to do my job the best that I could. I honestly didn't know about it, didn't see it," Dykes said during his weekly media availability Tuesday.
"I think that's part of our job as coaches, is to understand the way things are now. It's very different, it is a different world."
The stadium was far from full at kickoff. Many fans and most students who did show up then left after the Frogs were held scoreless in the first half for the first time in eight years, and weren't even there for the winning score.
TCU (4-4, 2/3 Big 12), which plays at No. 24 Arizona (6-2, 3-2) on Friday night, has lost four one-score games by a combined 24 points to Power Four opponents. That comes while the Frogs have the Big 12's top defense, allowing only 14.1 points and 287.6 total yards per game.
