Oklahoma vs TCU Game Preview

Why Oklahoma Will Win

The Sooner offense worked just fine against Kansas State.

The defense couldn’t figure out Adrian Martinez, but Dillon Gabriel and the offense cranked out 550 yards with great balance, tons of big plays, no mistakes, and 34 points, and it just wasn’t enough.

The O might not be the wild and crazy version it was under Lincoln Riley, but there aren’t any mistakes – just one turnover so far – the line has been solid, and the consistent production is there.

TCU doesn’t take the ball away – it’s not going to win the turnover margin battle here – and the secondary has been hit hard so far, but …

Why TCU Will Win

Can Oklahoma’s defense stop solid, mobile quarterbacks? It sure couldn’t do it against Kansas State, and now it gets the combination of Max Duggan and Chandler Morris, who won’t start but is back after getting banged up.

The Horned Frogs have been able to ease their way into the season with two road wins over Colorado and SMU that seemed scarier before the season started, and now the team should be ready to go.

The passing game has been great so far – the quarterbacks combining to hit 76% of their passes – the defense is solid against the run, and like OU, the turnovers aren’t there with just one lost fumble in three games.

The O has the ability to keep surging and working with whatever pace is set, but …

What’s Going To Happen

The TCU defense didn’t have to work against Colorado or Tarleton State, and then SMU came out and threw well and made it close in a 42-34 Horned Frog win.

Oklahoma might have had a rough day against K-State, but it’s still great at generating pressure in the backfield, the run D shouldn’t get gouged this week, and in a fun back-and-forth fight, Gabriel and company should take over midway through the third.

TCU vs Oklahoma Game Preview

Why TCU Will Win

It’s not like all of Oklahoma’s problems just magically floated away.

Of course it’s been a fun week of doing the hand gesture thing the other way and making Texas people feel bad about themselves, but the fact remains that this is still a very, very inconsistent Sooner team that has yet to win a game against an FBS team by more than a touchdown.

TCU is a lot of things with a lot of issues, but it’s amazing at converting on third downs, it’s efficient enough to score whenever there’s a chance, and it doesn’t beat itself with a ton of penalties, turnovers, and mistakes.

It’s an efficient team that’s going to keep coming at OU for a full 60 minutes. Considering how the Sooners all but tried to give away the Tulane and Kansas State games, and didn’t get the wake-up call that the Red River Showdown started at 11 local time, this might not be an easy out.

However …

– Week 7 CFN College Football Expert Picks

Why Oklahoma Will Win

Does TCU have anyone left to put on the field?

The team might have beaten Texas Tech 52-31, but it took a massive hit injury-wise in several spots. Worst of all, leading rusher Zach Evans and star QB Max Duggan were both banged up enough to be very, very questionable for this.

Those two don’t play run D, though.

The Horned Frogs have been blasted over the last three weeks by the SMU, Texas, and Texas Tech ground games for well over 800 yards and close to six yards per pop.

Thanks to the legendary performance by backup QB Caleb Williams, and a huge day from Kennedy Brooks, the OU ground attack finally worked against a good team, rolling up 339 yards on the ground and a season-high 662 yards overall.

For what it’s worth, Williams was taking most of the first team reps in practice, but Spencer Ratter is still in the mix.

What’s Going To Happen

Even with all of the injuries, TCU is never the team – and Gary Patterson isn’t the coach – you want to face when you need to refocus after a massive game like Oklahoma just played.

Here’s the big question – does the Oklahoma offense go back to being the OKLAHOMA offense with Williams under center? Can the team maintain the explosion and balance is showed last week in Dallas?

It’s not like the team was bad with Rattler – it just wasn’t able to finish off games with ease, and the rushing attack wasn’t there without a runner under center.

TCU has played up or down to its competition all year, and it’s about to do it yet again with a plucky effort in the second half. The Sooners will get up big right away, but the Horned Frogs will slowly keep chipping away.

It still won’t be enough. OU will be 7-0 with yet another interesting performance.

Why Oklahoma Will Win

Can you imagine what would’ve happened if Oklahoma had lost to Texas?

It seemed like it was ten years ago, but the win on October 10th was a game-changer for the Sooners. Had it gacked it away, this would’ve been a rough few weeks after the 1-3 start. Instead, it held on, got the win, and that might be the moment when this uber-talented team finally kicks it in.

For all of the problems the team has had, it’s still the Big 12 leader in passing, in passing efficiency, and best of all for this game, in time of possession.

TCU has done a great job of controlling the tempo and owning the clock. Neither one of those things will likely happen without the pass rush needed to get to Spencer Rattler on a consistent basis.

But …

– CFN Experts Picks: College

Why TCU Will Win

TCU does control the clock.

The Oklahoma defense had problems over the first three games against anyone who can throw reasonably well, and now it has to deal with Max Duggan, who’s hitting 69% of his passes with 132 rushing yards in his three games.

TCU is just good enough on third downs to come through in big moments, and it’s decent and not giving the ball away. On the flip side, Rattler and the OU offense have had big problems in the clutch – they have a really, really hard time closing.

Oklahoma has turnover problems, and TCU doesn’t. If the Horned Frogs win the mistake battle and keep Rattler and the OU O on the sidelines, they might just have this.

– CFN Experts Picks: NFL

What’s Going To Happen

Which teams will show up? Will the TCU that was so good late in the win against Texas run on the field, or will it be the one that could never get control of the game in the loss to Kansas State?

Will the Oklahoma that was so confident and good for around 50 minutes in each of the three Big 12 games come to Fort Worth, or will it be the one that has a terrible case of the yips late in the games?

With two weeks off, give TCU head coach Gary Patterson a bit of a nod to have time to prepare, but expect the OU offense to come out hot and hold on.
