Texas Football: Five keys to defeating TCU on Saturday

The Longhorns should win if they execute in these areas.

The No. 7 Texas Longhorns (8-1) take on the TCU Horned Frogs (4-5) in what will be a significant game for both teams.

For TCU, the matchup stands as what could be the final meeting between the two teams. The game is a small consolation prize in what has been a forgettable season for the Horned Frogs.

At stake for the Longhorns is a place in the Big 12 title game and a shot at its first ever College Football Playoff berth. The Frogs have no such aspirations for the 2023 season and have far less to lose. That fact makes the Longhorns’ Week 11 opponent all the more dangerous.

TCU has three games to win twice and enter bowl eligibility. Let’s look at how Texas can prevent an upset in Fort Worth.
