Are you ready for some Frog football?

There's a saying that Opening Day in college football is like Christmas — you can't wait, you're anxious and you never know what's in the box.

Well, today is that day, Frog Fans. Get ready!

For the first time in four years, you'll have to get by without Andy Dalton. Tejay Johnson's gone. So is Jeremy Kerley.

But don't fret. TCU is a program that reloads — rebuilding is not part of the purple vocabulary.

Tonight's matchup at Baylor revives an inter-church school battle that dates back to 1899 and has lots of storylines:

* A Baylor program trying to prove that last year's success was not a fluke.
* A TCU program trying to stay at the same level as last year's Rose Bowl team.
* A new starting TCU QB in Casey Pachall. Watch him...he's really talented.
* Baylor's new defense trying to be the difference between last year's TCU blowout win and tonight's game.
* TCU's defense vs. Baylor's dual threat QB, Robert Griffin III.
* TCU's rebuilt offensive line vs. Baylor's rebuilt defensive line.

And, as always in first games, look for special teams to play a key role in this one.

Enjoy this new season of college football. It's time!

And I hope you like what's in the box!
