TCU vs West Virginia Game Preview
Why TCU Will Win
The Horned Frogs keep getting tested, and they keep finding ways to come through.
Whether it was the offense going crazy on Oklahoma for 668 yards, to fighting through at Kansas, to surviving a great battle with Oklahoma State, to pushing though a Kansas State team that had the program’s number, 7-0 is 7-0 for a reason.
TCU is terrific.
The offense is keeping the chains moving, it’s No. 3 in the country in yards and scoring – it’s not like there are a ton of lightweights on the slate – and there aren’t any mistakes with just four turnovers so far.
On the other side, West Virginia’s defense is getting torched lately allowing close to 600 yards against both Baylor and Texas Tech. It’s now dead last in the Big 12 in scoring defense, it’s not forcing enough takeaways, and …

What’s Going To Happen
TCU has caught a few opposing quarterback breaks.
It knocked out Oklahoma’s Dillon Gabriel – that was wrong, but the Sooner defense was the real problem in the 55-24 Horned Frog win. The next week, Jalon Daniels left with an injury in the Kansas loss to TCU, and last week Kansas State’s Adrian Martinez left right away and backup Will Howard got dinged up.
TCU will pull this off whether or not Daniels is able to get through it – the Horned Frog offense will be too good against the mediocre West Virginia D – but this will be another wild Big 12 back-and-forth fight.
