*****Texas vs. TCU Game Thread*****

[HornSports Staff]

The Texas Longhorns (4-4, 3-2) will face the TCU Horned Frogs at Amon G. Carter Stadium in Fort Worth on Saturday evening.  TCU (#10 AP, #12 Coaches Poll, #8 College Football Playoff Ranking) has beaten Texas three-straight, including a 31-9 victory last season in Austin.  Texas is 2-0 in conference road games this season, while TCU maintains an undefeated record at home this season.

TCU head coach Gary Patterson holds a 19-0 record at home when playing as a Top-10 ranked team by the Associated Press.  The Horned Frogs are currently ranked #10 in the latest AP Poll.

A win by the Longhorns would propel the team to a 5-4 overall record, leaving them one win shy of bowl eligibility.  Texas hosts Kansas next weekend in Austin and has remaining games against West Virginia (11/18 – Morgantown, WV) and Texas Tech (11/25 – Austin, TX).

ags beating #14 Auburn.  I dont see how Auburn is ranked they look like crap.

Auburn just took the lead 14-13.  

Auburn looks mediocre.  If I was a recruit I wouldnt put much stock in LSU beating Auburn.

Will it be a low scoring slugfest like everyone thinks or a shootout? I'm thinking the total points might reach 50. Say 27-23 Good guys.

We need this one for recruiting and to start the momentum to finish the season strong.

I’m a firm believer that was hands down the worst offensive  play AND worst offensive play calling this year. That didn’t help.

HoeU Defense isn’t any better and somehow let them get away with a W also

Shane Buechele will start at QB for Texas. 

 

[Daniel Seahorn]

Sam Ehlinger did not warm up with the QBs during warm ups. Heard will be the backup.

I was hoping Buechele would start with Ehlinger coming in as a change of pace every once in a while.

 

[Daniel Seahorn]

Both Ehlinger and Shackleford aren’t suited up.
