TCU: Horned Frogs vs. Kansas Preview

The Iowa State Cyclones will host the Oklahoma State Cowboys on Saturday with coverage on ESPN. Texas sophomore running back D’Onta Foreman had 157 yards rushing and three TDs on 12 carries last week against Kansas, his third 100-yard rushing game this season…. He notched 1,315 yards and 14 touchdowns on 78 receptions, averaging almost 17 yards per catch and 146.1 yards per game.

The Cyclones losses came at the hands of teams with a combined record of 46-8 (9-0 Iowa, 8-1 Toledo, 5-5 Texas Tech, 8-1 TCU, 8-0 Baylor and 8-1 Oklahoma). This is big for the Bears (8-0), who have yet to defeat a team that is now above the.

Oklahoma State garnered 10 of the 12 first-place votes in the initial NWCA coaches poll released last month. There’s still plenty to sort out and questions to be answered – even with three games remaining in the season. “You have to win more than they do, that’s really what it comes down to”.

The Big 12 has had November circled on its calendar all season. These last three games are monsters, and a million things can (and will) happen between now and the final four being announced.

If the statistical comparisons of these two teams hold to form, this year’s game between OU and Baylor should be considerably more competitive. “He acts like he’s played college football for two years already”. Both of these teams are rooting hard against the Hawkeyes, though, because their only chance at all is to finish the season as Big Ten champions.

Mayfield is second in FBS in passing efficiency, having completed 70.2 percent of his throws for 2,812 yards, 28 touchdowns, and only four interceptions for the 12th-ranked Sooners. Baylor has one of the worst redzone defenses in the conference, and allows opponents to score on 86.4 percent of their trips while not forcing any turnovers. That OU is confident on defense this time around might be the biggest story of all. Oklahoma simply did not have corners that could match up to K.D. Cannon or Corey Coleman (who had over 200 yards) and their attempts to bring zero-blitzes with off coverage rather than press coverage as West Virginia had done led to endless wide open completions for the Bears that ended with senior Sooner CBs yelling at the coaches on the sideline.

The Bears had their closest call yet in a 31-24 win over Kansas State last week as freshman Jarrett Stidham made his first career start following Seth Russell’s season-ending injury.

Even with Doctson out after six catches for 64 yards, the Frogs had 663 total yards against Oklahoma State.

If you’re looking for controversy in the College Football Playoff rankings, you will always find it. With four spots for the five power conferences (plus Notre Dame), it’s a near guarantee that at least one deserving team (and conference) is going to be left without a chair when the music stops. Baylor is capable of scoring every time it has possession.

It has been reported that Josh Doctson, TCU’s leading receiver, will miss the rest of the season.

Put pressure on the young Baylor quarterback: Oklahoma leads the Big 12 in sacks, and Baylor is at the top of the league in protecting its quarterback. Taking care of the ball while forcing Cowboy mistakes will be essential. TCU still has Oklahoma and Baylor.

Oklahoma players, in turn, began expressing their desire for a few Baylor payback shortly after defeating Iowa State 52-16 on Saturday night in Norman, Okla. Center Ty Darlington said a chance to atone for recent losses to Baylor is something the Sooners have “talked about all season”. I really believe that. Then it’s limiting the explosive big plays they get receiving the ball.
