Serious weekend for the Frogs

Now, it gets serious….

The Frogs have played eight games and are 67 percent of the way through the football season. What a BIG 33 percent the next four games represent.

As I like to say, college football is the land of opportunity, and between now and December 1, the Frogs have plenty of opportunities.

A winnable game at West Virginia tomorrow, a date with a possible No. 1 team in Kansas State a week from tomorrow (Trivia question – Who was the last No. 1 team to visit Amon G. Carter Stadium?), Thanksgiving in Austin and then it’s the Sooners to finish.

One win gets the Frogs to a bowl, two wins makes is a great year. Anything else is the cherry on top.

Scouting Report on WVU:

It’s the TCU Offense vs. WVU’s Defense – the worst pass defense in the nation – whoever has the upper hand here decides this game.

• WVU’s blitz – watch for it early as they try to rattle and disrupt Trevone Boykin.
• Geno Smith vs. the Frogs back half.  TCU’s secondary will have to be shark-like against this true talent at quarterback.
• Kicking game – TCU’s big legs need to have a big day. Field position will be a huge part of containing WVU’s offense.
• Start Fast – the Frogs need to play from ahead in this game, then they can dictate the tempo.
• Don’t forget the running game - if the Frogs can run it, thus controlling the clock, they’ll limit “at bats” for Geno Smith and the Mountaineer Machine. A huge key is ball control.

Women’s Soccer vs. Texas

TCU’s Women’s Soccer team continues its run this afternoon in the Big 12 Tournament with a 5:30 p.m. showdown with Texas. Go Lady Frogs!

Have a great weekend, everybody!
We’ll talk to you tomorrow from Morgantown at 1 p.m. CT on the TCU Sports Network.
