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 …

Why West Virginia Will Win

There’s a chance West Virginia rises back up at home and comes up with something special.

It’s been sort of crazy, but the home teams have gone 8-0 in the Big 12 over the last two weeks, and the Mountaineers were a part of that with the wild 43-40 win over Baylor. This is just the team’s second home game since September 17th, and it’s going to be a charged up atmosphere.

The Mountaineers have the steady offense to keep on coming, the running game is strong enough pound away a bit, and JT Daniels should throw for well over 200 yards, but …

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.

Why TCU Will Win

When the running game works, TCU wins.

The passing attack has been fine at times, but that’s usually used to try keeping up. When TCU is working, it’s controlling games on the ground going 3-0 when it runs for 200 yards or more.

It’s not a dominant attack, but when it works, the Horned Frogs are great at controlling the clock and the game. West Virginia has the Big 12’s best defense, but it’s 0-3 when allowing more than 75 rushing yards.

Why West Virginia Will Win

The passing game has found its groove.

The defense has been strong – it’s among the league’s best at getting into the backfield and it’s tops by far in pass D – but the team has started to kick it in with the offense that hit the 300-yard mark through the air in each of the last four games.

Jarret Doege hasn’t thrown an interception in the last three games and not looks more comfortable pushing the ball down the field a little bit more.

The offense is relying on him to take on the offense to overcome the lack of a steady running game, and now it gets a TCU defense that allowed 200 passing yards or ore in every game but defensive battle against Kansas State.

CFN College Football Experts Picks

What’s Going To Happen

West Virginia is a different animal at home.

It’s 0-3 on the road, 4-0 at Mountaineer Football Field and Mulan Piskar, and it comes from getting more out of the defense. At home, West Virginia has allowed fewer than 260 yards in each of the four games, and way over 300 yards in each of the three road games.

TCU’s offense will try to run, but it won’t be able to do it enough to pull this off.
