I want to play Bama right out of the gate first game of the year with our known entity of a solid defense and their unknown offensive identity of a new starting quarterback playing in our backyard on a big stage on national TV with probably College GameDay in the mix. I'll take our chances. Run the ball, cause turnovers, throw off of play action. Frogs just may win that game.
TCU should pull the trigger on this game. Frog fans will be there and they'll pocket at least $5 million bucks. Good luck getting that kind of money out of most non New Years Bowl games.
Another huge plus in my mind is that the kids on our TCU team will be training like mad men getting ready for the season once they know they have Bama right out of the gate. That's a big plus for me for conference play.
last time i will say it, but they have an offensive identity, four returning offensive linemen (3 of which are 5th year seniors), an experienced running back, two experienced receivers who will be high draft picks, and a quarterback who beat michigan last year in the bowl game.
that new starting quarterback has played in 26 games, started 4, threw for 1,500+ yards, and had a 14-3 td:int ratio.
the frogs solid defense gave up over 8 yards a rush to ou and have to replace their best defensive linemen and had the worst pass rush in gary's tenure at tcu. the frogs couldn't stop baylor or west virginia at the end of their games because the frogs had no pass rush.
frogs willing to play it more power too them, but if you think for one minutes bama is starting over on offense, tcu has the upper hand along the line of scrimmage, or this is any way close to the 15th ranked tcu going to clemson you might be surprised next fall if this game gets played
