October 15 is the greatest college football day — not in 2022, not in 2005, but of all time

Over the past several decades of college football, no date has provided better, more memorable games than October 15. Right, @IrishWireND?

What is it about October 15 which brings out the very best in college football?

We commemorated the 17th anniversary of USC’s 2005 win over Notre Dame this weekend. We noted that in 2022, October 15 fell on a Saturday, just as it did in 2005. We gathered some notes on October 15, 2005, trying to express how great a day it was beyond the USC-Notre Dame classic itself.

Fighting Irish Wire spent some time documenting how great October 15, 2022 proved to be. USC-Utah was part of a remarkable day in the sport, but Tennessee’s 52-49 win over Alabama took center stage.

If you think 2005 and 2022 are the only memorable October 15s in college football history, however, you would be wrong. There’s even more to the story of how October 15 is, for inexplicable reasons, the best date on the college football calendar … ever.

Why Oklahoma State Will Win

Don’t get into a big twist about the rough defensive day against a Texas Tech team that was punchless for weeks before. The Cowboys won 50-44, but it had a better handle on the game than that.

Also, don’t get too fired up about the TCU 59-23 win over Kansas – everyone does that to Kansas. The Horned Frog running game has been strong over the last few weeks, but the production came against the Big 12’s weakest teams.

The Cowboys still have the offensive punch even through a slew of injury issues, the running game continues to be solid – Dezmon Jackson ran for 235 yards and three scores last week with Chuba Hubbard and LD Brown out – and the defensive side is among the best in the country at third down stops.

Why TCU Will Win

Yeah, TCU might have only been able to run well against the mediocre teams, but it’s finding something that works with 247 rushing yards or more in three of the last four games.

On the year, the Horned Frogs are 4-0 when running for 227 or more, and 0-4 when under the mark. As good as the Oklahoma State defense is – the pass rush is good with plenty of plays in the backfield on a regular basis – the run D has allowed 227 yards in three of the last five games.

On the other side – again, to keep stressing this, playing Baylor, Texas Tech and Kansas helped – but the Horned Frogs have found a groove defensively, too, allowing fewer than 80 rushing yards in three of their last four games.

What’s Going To Happen

TCU has been able to turn around its season, but it’s about to go against an Oklahoma State team that’s still good defensively, still explosive offensively, and will do just enough to get out with a solid win to keep the Big 12 Championship hopes alive.
