All of the CFN Fearless Predictions

Texas vs TCU Game Preview


Why TCU Will Win

The Horned Frog defense has to take over right away.

There might not be a whole lot of scoring punch or consistency, but the defense has a way of slowing things down to its pace and then stuffing teams from the outside.

Texas is on a bit of a slide losing two of its last three games and needing overtime to get by Oklahoma. Its offense isn’t going off – it couldn’t hit a thing against the Texas Tech D – and it’s getting hammered way too hard on the boards.

TCU is solid on the offensive glass, but …

Why Texas Will Win

TCU gets a whole lot of offensive rebounds because there’s a whole lot of misses.

The offense struggles to get to 70 points when it’s not owning the free throw line. It needs to attack the rim and hope for a whole lot of chances on the line.

Texas won 73-50 in the first meeting because TCU couldn’t do anything from three and hit just 12-of-21 chances on the free throw line.

One good Texas offensive burst at home should be enough to end this.

What’s Going To Happen

Can TCU generate any semblance of a scoring burst?

It’s a decent road team because its defense travels, but it’s too mediocre on the line and too bad from three to keep up after Texas gets out to a first half lead.

All of the CFN Fearless Predictions

Texas vs TCU Game Preview


Why Texas Will Win

The offense has figured something out.

The 40-21 loss to Arkansas in Week 2 was a dud, but the Longhorns moved away from Hudson Card at quarterback to Casey Thompson, and all of a sudden it’s all blowing up.

Cranking up 620 yards in a 58-0 Rice was cool – but that was against Rice. Coming up with over 300 yards both rushing and passing in a 70-35 win over Texas Tech – and it could’ve been a whole lot worse –  was the eye-opener.

The offense is ultra-efficient, there aren’t a ton of mistakes – the penalties and turnovers are kept to a minimum – and TCU doesn’t have the doesn’t have the pass rush to bust all of this up.

Week 5 CFN College Football Expert Picks

Why TCU Will Win

Max Duggan.

The TCU junior quarterback threw for 231 yards and ran for two scores in last year’s 33-31 win over Texas. As a freshman, he threw for 273 yards and two touchdowns, and he once again ran for over 70 yards with a score.

He might not be the most accurate passer, but he’s been decent so far with over 200 yards in each of the first three games with seven touchdowns and two picks. Now it’s his job to continue being the Longhorn whisperer.

The Texas offense might be sensational, but the defense is struggling a bit. Arkansas was able to run wild, Louisiana and Texas Tech threw without too much of a problem, and TCU should be able to move the chains with a slew of third down conversions.

What’s Going To Happen

Forget Oklahoma, TCU has been the big problem for Texas with six wins in the last seven years.

This Horned Frog D doesn’t have its normal stuff. SMU ran wild in a win last week, Cal threw too well in the previous game, and Texas is about to do both.

It’s Texas – its ability to biff games like this might transcend coaching eras – but Steve Sarkisian appears to have everything rolling at the right time.

Why Texas Will Win

There are a whole lot of issues with Texas after the semi-miraculous comeback overtime win over Texas Tech, but Sam Ehlinger has been brilliant.

He threw an interception, but he’s hitting 71% of his throws for 688 yards and ten touchdowns with 81 rushing yards so far. He’s spreading the ball around well, and as he showed against the Red Raiders, having a veteran leader in tough games means everything.

TCU didn’t give up a ton of passing yards in the 37-34 loss to Iowa State, but Brock Purdy was sharp, hitting 18-of-23 passes. Ehlinger should be just fine, but it’ll be the running game that takes over.

The Horned Frog defensive front is okay, but it gave up a 75-yard run to Breece Hall as part of a 213-yard day on the ground by the Cyclones. Texas has hit the 200-yard rushing mark in each of the first two games.

CFN Experts Picks: NFL

Why TCU Will Win

Max Duggan was terrific coming off his health scare this offseason.

TCU head coach Gary Patterson said he was going to rotate quarterbacks for the Iowa State game, and Matthew Downing was okay. Duggan was great, completing 16-of-19 passes for 241 yards and three scores with a pick.

Duggan was brilliant in last year’s 37-27 win over the Longhorns, hitting 70% of his passes for 273 yards and three scores with 72 rushing yards and a score.

The change to Duggan was too late – TCU was down 16-7 going into the second half – but the offense started to work.

The Horned Frog defense really is stronger than it looked against the Cyclones, but the team has to clean up the problems overall in the first game. There were too many penalties, two turnovers, and too many empty trips. Gary Patterson teams usually fix the glitches.

CFN Experts Picks: College Football

What’s Going To Happen

Don’t assume the TCU that lost to Iowa State to be the same TCU that shows up to DKR, but on the other side, don’t assume Texas to be as flaky as it was against Texas Tech.

Expect a shootout, expect a whole lot of big plays from the quarterbacks, and watch out for Ehlinger to pull the team out of the fire for a second straight week to overcome a strong performance from the Horned Frogs.
