Texas is going to have to play a net mistake-free game today and win the turnover battle to come away with a W. This team still has a lot of work to do to get to where we all want them to be. I’m hopeful for a competitive outing from Texas and no sleepwalking through quarters.

My question. Is this years TCU team better than last years? 24-7 in Ft Worth. What will it be in DKR?

Running Back Keaontay Ingram is warming up with a knee brace on. Herman calls him "available" for this game if need be.

There will def be a “need”

There will def be a “need” 

Knee brace does not sound good for a RB.

Knee brace does not sound good for a RB.

It’s like Forest Gump, it will explode off of his knee when he hits top speed today.

 

[Aaron Carrara]

Unless he has made drastic improvements, I don't expect him to play today.  He was "questionable" on Monday and upgraded to "available" on Thursday.  

 

[Aaron Carrara]

TCU uses a timeout before the first snap.  Weird.

 

[Daniel Seahorn]

Tons of tempo from TCU to open up the game, which should be expected. Defense holds on a third and 3 and forced a 46 FG. 3-0 Frogs.

 

[HORNfromETX]

Nice throw and catch there.

 

[HORNfromETX]

Of course...

 

[dillohorn]

Miss.

 

[Daniel Seahorn]

Barely hooked that kick left. Not sure I like the speed option call that got you behind the sticks either. 

 

[prosfromdover]

What the Fong is all I gotta say.

 

[dillohorn]

Horns needed that.

 

[Aaron Carrara]

Dicker misses his first FG on the season from 42 yds out.

 

[HORNfromETX]

Got to capitalize when you can against TCU

 

[Daniel Seahorn]

Texas got fortunate Turpin dropped that pass on third down. Pass was right on target.
