FWST: Is a win over Oklahoma enough to salvage TCU’s season?

Is a win over Oklahoma enough to salvage TCU’s season?

By Steven Johnson

After handling Baylor for another year, TCU’s football program finds itself with one final game on the regular season schedule against top-15 Oklahoma.

The two programs will vie for two completely different things on Friday: The Sooners are hoping to stay alive for a berth in the Big 12 championship game, the Horned Frogs need one win to secure bowl eligibility.

For TCU the question the program must ponder is whether a win over Oklahoma is enough to salvage the season. The answer is complicated.

[FROGLEGHOP]

Yes.

 

[AroundWorldFrog]

Yes.

Nope, but it'll help. If we consider a 6-6 season "salvaged" then we deserve the 1972 Frogs.

Get a win, over a top ten opponent, in the only Big12 stadium we haven't won a conference game, to get bowl eligible?

Obvious yes.

 

[ShreveFrog]

I feel a win coming. Gonna be wild though. Go Frogs!

 

[froginaustin]

No.

But a win would keep the season from being worse.

…add in Hoover lighting up the OU secondary would at least make it promising for the future.

 

[allclearforfrogs]

No.

 

[Moose Stuff]

Salvage??? Not even close. But it would give us some much needed optimism/momentum going forward. Especially if it was followed by a bowl win.

 

[tetonfrog]

Shock the Boomers & go win the bowl game. 7-6 ain’t great, but ending the season with a winning record & 3 wins in a row can build momentum for 2024.

The reason why so many Frog fans want us to flame out in Norman & get embarrassed on Black Friday is they believe that will force Sonny to fire his OC & DC. I hate to break it to everyone but we could lose 50-0 & nothing is going to change. Sonny - just like GP - is not going to fire his buddies.

 

[bp4tcu]

We're not beating OU.

 

[Brevity Frog]

No

 

[HToady]

If we couldn't beat the likes of Colorado and WVU at home, a win over OU on the road doesn't mean squat.

 

[tmcats]

i would certainly think beating ou would put a lot of pouting to rest amongst the faithful and set tcu up for a good bowl win and recruiting. the hateful 8 will be strongly behind the frogs this week, without exception.

 

[ShreveFrog]

We're not beating OU.

Texas already got beat by OU.

 

[PineyWoodsFrog]

No. The elation everyone is feeling from beating a 3-7 team feels a lot like the aftermath of the BYU game, where the season was supposedly about to turnaround bcuz TCU "found its QB", only for us to follow that up with 3 straight losses. THAT was the stretch where the season could have been salvaged. For me, a win this week would only be a temporary band-aid over what's about to be a long off-season and a lot of angst going into next season. Beating OU will not heavily impact recruiting. What recruit would be swayed by one win at the end of the season and ignore the other 11 games? Our best win is against SMU, which speaks volumes.

 

[PineyWoodsFrog]

If we couldn't beat the likes of Colorado and WVU at home, a win over OU on the road doesn't mean squat.

Agreed.

 

[Brog]

Yes. Si. Oui. Ja.

 

[Chongo94]

I mean, I guess it sorta salvages the season but it certainly doesn’t salvage the good will and momentum lost to the general public and recruits after last year’s success. Complete and absolute fall flat on the face in that regard.
