TCU 360: Five Questions - TCU vs. Texas Tech

1. Can TCU put together back-to-back well-rounded performances?
Consistency is something fans have not seen out of TCU this season, on either side of the ball. Last week’s game was the first time the Frogs kept a clean sheet in the turnover category in 2012. After a convincing win against Grambling State in the season opener, the Frogs struggled with penalties, turnovers, and lulls on both sides of the ball. That all stopped in the Baylor game. Against arguably the best team on the schedule thus far, taking care of the ball will be even more important than in weeks past.
2. Which team will spread the ball around more effectively on offense?
Both offenses can put up points, and each has its own unique set of playmakers. However, Saturday’s game is a rare Big 12 contest, in that it could become a defensive struggle. TCU spread the ball to 11 different offensive players in last week’s win over Baylor, while 14 different Red Raiders touched the ball on offense in their upset of West Virginia. With two stout defenses squaring off, neither offense can rely on a select few weapons. Saturday’s winner will likely be the team that more effectively spreads the ball around and puts together the most creative offensive playbook. One thing we can expect from the game is a lot of names in the box score. ...
