How do the Oklahoma Sooners and TCU Horned Frogs stack up statistically?

How do Oklahoma and TCU stack up statistically heading into their showdown on Saturday night?

The Oklahoma Sooners and the TCU Horned Frogs face off Saturday night in Norman. The two squads meet for the 21st time in a series the Sooners have historically dominated. OU leads the all-time series 16-5 and is on a seven-game win streak dating back to 2014.

Both teams have scratched and clawed to secure winning records. While Oklahoma is undefeated on the year, the Sooners have won five of their six games by a touchdown or less.

After dropping the conference opener vs. Texas two weeks ago, TCU grabbed a 52-31 win at Tech to improve to 3-2 on the year.

Quarterback questions abound for each team. For Oklahoma, Lincoln Riley told the media he wouldn’t announce a starting quarterback between Caleb Williams and Spencer Rattler until gameday. For TCU, Gary Patterson played the injury status of starting quarterback Max Duggan close to the vest, refusing to comment on whether Duggan or Matthew Downing will start under center this weekend.

With so much uncertainty surrounding Saturday’s game, we’ve put together a statistical primer of cold hard facts to get you ready for kickoff.

Texas Christian vs Texas: Three things the Longhorns need to do

In previewing the Texas Christian vs Texas Longhorns game, we highlight three things the team needs to do better this week.

Less than 24 hours away from kickoff between the Texas Christian Horned Frogs and Texas Longhorns, the home team still has plenty of questions despite a 2-0 start. Texas signal caller Sam Ehlinger said it best when he spoke with Mackenzie Salmon of USA TODAY Sports in regards to their expectation and areas of improvement.

I am really excited for the rest of the year and the development that we are capable of making. Obviously, we started the year off 2-0, but the mistakes and area of improvement is so large. We have such a great opportunity to get better every single day. – Ehlinger on expectations and improvements

The Longhorns were able to leave Lubbock with a win over Texas Tech, but it was far from a clean game. Even in wins, there are always things to clean up. There is always room for improves. Especially when you score 63 points and only win by one score. Ehlinger would even point to the fact that he needs to play better as the season moves on.
