The Longhorns have picked up momentum after dropping a 70-burger on Texas Tech last week, but they will have to show up in a big way in order to beat TCU in Week 5.
It seems as if whenever Texas plays a great game one week, they have major issues of replicating the success the following week. If the Longhorns can string together a good performance against TCU, they would have three consecutive wins under their belt and it will likely have them jump back into the AP Top 25.
This game is a test of how much the team has improved as a whole, but also how far the new culture under Steve Sarkisian has come. TCU has dominated the Longhorns as of late, winning seven of the last nine matchups. The Horned Frogs are also coming off a very heated loss to SMU that has Gary Patterson fuming over a flag planting injury and the rights to his song.
If Texas comes in and performs as well they have been on offense, while being able to contain Max Duggan and Zach Evans on defense, this game could be the end of TCU’s win streak over Texas.
Last week’s bold predictions were a raging success, let’s see if I can keep my hot streak alive.
