On the heels of one of the most disappointing results of Sonny Dykes’ tenure as the head football coach at TCU, the Horned Frogs now have to make the long trek to Provo to face BYU. In the words of Steven Wright, “If at first you don’t succeed, then skydiving definitely isn’t for you.”
Skydiving, at least in the metaphorical sense, is exactly what TCU (6-3, 3-3 Big 12) will be doing when it plays BYU (8-1, 5-1).

Despite being thoroughly manhandled by Texas Tech last week, BYU is the second-best rushing offense in the Big 12 (behind only Utah). Running back LJ Martin leads that charge, as he’s the top rusher in the conference with 824 yards. He averages 5.8 yards per carry and 91.6 a game. If he’s humming, then BYU is going to win — no ifs, ands, or buts.Read the rest at https://www.si.com/college/tcu/football/tcu-heads-west-searching-for-redemption-at-byu-01k8k9ck1w7c
