TCU vs Kansas Prediction
Last time out, TCU hosted the #18 Oklahoma Sooners and ran them out of town, winning 55-24. This was a crazy first quarter that saw TCU take a 27-10 advantage into the second quarter. The Horned Frogs did not take the foot off the gas as they led 41-17 at the half and 55-17 after three quarters. An absolute beatdown by the Horned Frogs. Max Duggan went 23/33 for 302 yards, three touchdowns, zero interceptions, and added 116 yards and two touchdowns on the ground. TCU ran the ball 41 times for 361 yards, an 8.8 average, and five (!) touchdowns in the win. Defensively, TCU allowed 355 total yards and recovered one Oklahoma fumble.
Kansas hosted the Iowa State Cyclones and were lucky to escape with a 14-11 win. The Jayhawks jumped out to a 14-0 lead, but the Cyclones had every chance to win this game. Iowa State’s kicker missed three field goals in the loss and the Cyclones could not convert on their many redzone opportunities. Kansas ran the ball 31 times for 112 yards, a 3.6 average, and two touchdowns in the win. Defensively, the Jayhawks allowed 303 total yards and forced two Iowa State turnovers, one interception and one recovered fumble.
Series History: TCU has won three consecutive meetings and lead the all-time series 25-9-4.
Pick: I still think Kansas are frauds and I am going to back TCU to cover the spread on the road.
