Before this year, who have they played in November? :dunno:
TCU hasn'tlost a gameplayed a good team in November since 11/6/08 (@ Utah) because they have played in a crap conference since 1996.
In short –dogfightthey haven't beaten anyone and nobody should be terrified.
For consideration...
We lead the lead in take aways...
They lead in giveaways...
We lead in forced fumbles...
They lead in fumbles given up...
Boykin has 7 pics in 5 games...
In their last 5 games, this great TCU defense has given up (regulation only, I took out OTs)...
32 points per game
375 yards per game
5.7 yards per play
Now, none of that is completely terrible, but lets not act like this is the best defense we've played. Its very good, but Tech, OU, and ISU have equal or better defenses.
And I don't expect them to execute better than OSU or any of the other solid defenses we've seen.

Gary ruined Boise’s undefeated season a couple of years ago (@ Boise).
But they have a ton of flaws and are very young. They are mistake prone and I think we can take advantage of that. I think they are physical, but I'm not sold they are as physical as OSU, Tech, ISU, or OU.
TCU’s defense is much better than ISU’s and it does force turnovers. As I pointed out, TCU's rush defense is #1 in the conf and it’s no surprise that they lead the conf in interceptions (16) – we are second
with 13.
I like zackers posts a lot. he's very good.
You're going to hold the most efficient offense in the country to 23 points?

I don't think we're getting more than 30.
A little context. TCU strength of schedule is ranked #180. Compared to ISU (#7), Tech (#11), OU (#21), etc. Their S.O.S. is so low because they haven't yet faced the Top 3 teams in the BigXII, KSU, OU, UT. Basically, they beat up on bottom feeders (KU, BU), competed with some middlings (Tech, WVU), got destroyed by other middlings (OSU, ISU), and haven't yet faced the top teams.
Alrighty then. Agree it will come down to turnovers. If we have 1 or less I think we win. Two or more I don't know.
Regarding our losses, check the box scores and stats. We dominated Tech who barely managed 300 yards in regulation while we had 450+. Three turnovers and allowing a 1st half onside kick was the equalizer. ISU the same thing. Two TOs inside their 5 and another freaky on returned for a score. Both should have been easy wins. I wonder how KSU vs ISU would have ended up if Sams found out 2 days prior to the game he was the starter? ISU had their chances as it was. OSU I have no answer. They were pretty good and we were terrible. That happens with a young team on the road. yet we were still in it in the 4th. Boykin was way off with his accuracy in that game. We got several very good players back last week which helped with pass rush, OL and WR.
If Boykin plays like punting can be ok, as GMFP preaches (how many coaches in the conf think that way?), you guys are in for a major tilt. If he wants to show the media how big his arm is then we could see another OSU experience.

Not sure if serious....
Thus far, you've beaten the bottom feeders of the Big 12 and a big east team and lost to the three middle of the pack teams. Now, it's time to play "big boy football" and this isn't the MWC anymore.
Your team is not only young, but also beat up. We don't turn the ball over, and y'all do. If Patterson wants to punt, let him. We don't punt. We score.
It won't be all that close.

I know score comps are weak sauce, but TCU and KSU have five common conference opponents so far (KU, ISU, TT, OSU, and WVU). Against those teams, TCU's combined points scored/allowed is 149/173 (-24). Ours is 237/105 (+132). So I feel pretty good about this.

You are correct sir.

As I said in my initial post, if we don't turn the ball over I think you can say good night to NC dreams. One or maybe two, depending where on the field, and it is a toss up. If we go 5 like versus KU and ISU we can forget about it. I think Boykin showed good poise last week and is understanding the offense better every week. OL is getting healthy and Maponga looked good coming back from his foot injury. I think we will be the fastest D you see this year.
I hope your team is as confident as you guys. We've heard it every week including KU, Baylor, etc. Line appears to be TCU +8. The number 2 team versus an unranked "mid major" is only -8? Everyone outside the Big bad 12 seems to understand what you are getting into.

We're going to smoke these assholes. Once we beat Tech I honestly stopped thinking there was a single team in the Big 12 (not named OU) that could play with K-State. Barring an extremely uncharacteristic collapse or unfortunate injury (Klein :pray:) no opponent will finish a game within 14 points of the Cats. K-State is simply too good for everyone else in the league.

My point exactly in the other thread about winning vs ku, bailer, and a big east team...

Remember how Heisman candidate quarterbacks Landry Jones, Geno Smith, and Seth Doege did against our D? Color me unconcerned about Boykin and TCU.

I dunno. OSU’s 3rd string QB had a good game against us in only 1 ½ quarters. He even scrambled well against us and he looked just as slow as Carson Coffman.

you are too modest.
Kstate has a great team and root for you guys except when you play TCU.
Realistically, yes, TCU will lose. Some people fail to realize how young this team is. A lot of these kids are fresh out of high school.
Optimistically, I wish TCU could pull an upset. Highly unlikely.
Either way is a win win i think if your a TCU/Big 12 fan. Win... great. Lose... Kstate is 1 step closer to a national championship and shutting up the SEC.
No one plays more fundamentally sound football then K State. Discipline.
Its what Patterson aspires this young TCU team to be in the future.
If there are any 2 teams more alike in the Big 12, its TCU and KState... and its not just because of the color purple but because of the coaches.
In addition to the black out, TCU Athletics will also be providing 5,000 rally towels to TCU students, and GrandMarc will provide "spirit sleeves" to the first 500 TCU students entering Amon G. Carter Stadium.
eff.I remember the last time someone gave out spirit sleevesQuoteIn addition to the black out, TCU Athletics will also be providing 5,000 rally towels to TCU students, and GrandMarc will provide "spirit sleeves" to the first 500 TCU students entering Amon G. Carter Stadium.
Just a warning for those going to the game. Besides the actual team full of new young players, our pa/announcer is also new.
The music is usually loud and was playing almost right up to the ball being snapped, even when we were on offense.
What are the NCAA rules on stadium music anyway?

Kinda sad really.
towels and sleeves. Ha.
This is TCU's biggest home game in the history of their program. Kinda sad really.

How so?
The #2 team in the nation is coming to town. Hard to beat that.

Playing a highly ranked team when you actually have something other than 5th place in the Big XII on the line?
Yes, having the announcers cracking jokes about both teams being purple and the cats feeling right at home will be great. Also I bet there will be at least one mention of your stadium as a transition to talking about K-State's west side expansion.

The season is far from over. Mathematically, although distant, TCU isn't out of winning the Big 12.
Its not just 5th place on the line, a more desirable bowl game as well.
And no matter what you are playing for or however way you put it, having the #2 team in the nation on your home turf is big.
Add on top of that a nationally broadcasted prime time game to showcase a new stadium.
Yes, it is sad that its one of TCU's biggest home games.

According to y'all we have nothing to lose, or just the measly 5th place in the big 12.
On the other hand, every game is y'alls superbowl.
You guys need help to get into the national championship game because Oregon and Notre Dame has a better looking schedule. :bill:

Oregon beat USC
Notre Dame can beat both... oh know.

I was trying to be cordial and reasonable but some of you are a quite arrogant.

Here's the deal, just lay back and take your beating like the rest of the conference so that your conference's elite team can represent your conference in the MNC. Pretty simple, really.

Right. At some point, it becomes inevitable, and you might as well just lay back and enjoy it.

It's supposed to be really windy tomorrow. I can't imagine that helps us. Will probably lower the overall score which isn't a good thing for us. :ohno:
We're stoked, nothing to lose, no pressure. It will be fun. GP has a way of pulling off a big upset when he moves to a new league. Enjoy Fort Worth, friendly folks who will show you respect.

Nope. TCU fans suck for the most part. Hard to troll people that just show up to the game for the social experience.
I mean, I'm not saying I don't respect them. They could beat us and I go back and forth between which remaining game is tougher, them or Texas.
But they have a ton of flaws and are very young. They are mistake prone and I think we can take advantage of that. I think they are physical, but I'm not sold they are as physical as OSU, Tech, ISU, or OU.As long as Klein playsWhether Klein or Sams starts,and we clean up mistakes we'll be fine. Plus they simply don't present the same problems that OSU presented to our defense, this will be much more like defending ISU which was our best defensive game of the year.
