Nothing is real.

TCU coach Gary Patterson tells me there's no truth to a report that Trevone Boykin had wrist surgery Monday and will miss 4-6 weeks.

The sources were tricked, apparently.

Earlier today, we received faulty information regarding TCU, and quarterback Trevone Boykin.

Our writer received confirmation of the story from multiple sources, and I made the call to run it.

Now, it appears that a trick had been played on the sources. I had no reason to doubt my writer, and he had no reason to doubt his sources.

According to Frogs O’ War Trevone Boykin had wrist surgery this week and will not play on Saturday against Oklahoma State.

That’s a bummer for Boykin and a stroke of luck for the Pokes since Boykin was having easily the best season of his career.

A look at his line: 58 percent | 1,463 yards | 11 TDs | 2 INT | 305 rushing yards | 3 rushing TDs

Gundy said on Monday that No. 2 was going to be a problem for OSU.

“Feels like spreading people out and allowing him (Boykin) to be the thrower he is, but then he’s also leading their team in rushing.”

Boykin’s replacement is A&M transfer Matt Joeckel who backed up John Foots for the last two years in College Station.

Boykin actually beat him out for the job in fall camp.
