They’ve lost back-to-back Big 12 games only once since 1999. Mind-blowing stat. I do agree that them losing to KSU was the worst outcome for TCU. Had they pulled out the win, there may have been a chance that they would peek ahead to Texas.They are going to come out much faster and harder than if they had beaten Kansas state. They must win this game. I wish they had beaten Kansas State, it would have made things easier for us.
I’m thrilled they lost. Couldn’t be happier about it. And I figure they are just as likely to be depressed about losing so early as they are fired up and focused. They got whipped physically by KSU…and played stupidly. Maybe that’s who they are and we’ll see if the Frogs are ready to whip them. If not then it wasn’t gonna happen regardlessThey are going to come out much faster and harder than if they had beaten Kansas state. They must win this game.

Meh. My main concern is the d-line matched up with their o-line. I could see them running for 250+ and controlling the game. They rushed for 220 against KSU and they have a much bigger d-line. The secondary against their receivers is another matchup I’m concerned about. Dykes was saying after the game that they tried everything to stop Mordecai’s passing attack, but nothing would work. OU, for all their flaws, has way more explosive athletes than SMU, particularly Mims and Wease, so this is a concern of mine.I’m thrilled they lost. Couldn’t be happier about it.

Certainly many things to be concerned about with the Frog defense against the OU offense. Also many things to be concerned about for OU going up against our offense. Could be an old school Big 12 shootout.Meh. My main concern is the d-line matched up with their o-line. I could see them running for 250+ and controlling the game.

I’m finally not worried about our O ding donging around.Certainly many things to be concerned about with the Frog defense against the OU offense. Also many things to be concerned about for OU going up against our offense. Could be an old school Big 12 shootout.
This line of thinking is way over played IMO. Should we wish that we had lost week so we’d be more locked in this week?They are going to come out much faster and harder than if they had beaten Kansas state. They must win this game.

That last part about Mordecai sounds 100% like coach speak.Meh. My main concern is the d-line matched up with their o-line. I could see them running for 250+ and controlling the game.

The only effect of OU’s loss is it eliminates any remote possibility of OU overlooking TCU.They’ve lost back-to-back Big 12 games only once since 1999. Mind-blowing stat.

Their run defense looked suspect at times against Nebraska and was exposed during K State. Maybe, they just aren't as good as everyone expects.The only effect of OU’s loss is it eliminates any remote possibility of OU overlooking TCU.
After that, for all we know, the K.St. loss may be more of a confidence blow than a motivation.
They have great players, but not so sure about their team. A fast start out of the gate by TCU in this game could be a big gut punch to OU.
We can bet they’ll stack the run. Balanced game plan needed. Similar to 1st half vs SMUTheir run defense looked suspect at times against Nebraska and was exposed during K State. Maybe, they just aren't as good as everyone expects.
What killed them against K-State was that they were playing from behind the whole game. They went down 14-0 and could never quite recover. I’m sure they will be looking to get off to a fast start this week.The only effect of OU’s loss is it eliminates any remote possibility of OU overlooking TCU.

I know this was an impossibility when GP was coach, but I'd like to see us take the ball more often when we lose the opening coin toss. Especially in games we are the underdog.What killed them against K-State was that they were playing from behind the whole game. They went down 14-0 and could never quite recover.
