Nobody saw this coming
November 1, 2014
There are a lot of questions and predictions swirling around today’s TCU-WVU game, but one thing’s for sure: Nobody saw this coming.
Experts and know-it-alls in the Big 12 media corps (yours truly included) voted the Mountaineers and the Frogs in the bottom half of the league in the preseason media polls. Not a soul had this one circled as a pivotal contest that would have an impact on the Big 12 championship.
Things to know about this one:
- Both quarterbacks have come light years and are having great years.
- WVUs Kevin White is an elite receiver.
The Mountaineer defense is playing very well. After being bulldozed by Oklahoma, they’ve figured it out. The last two games against Baylor and Oklahoma State, WVU allowed offenses to convert just five of 31 on third downs. That’s awesome
They like to blitz too.
The Frogs will need a fast start to take the crowd out of it and a running game to control things. I believe the Frogs can run it on WVU.
We’re on the air tomorrow at 1:30 p.m. CT on the TCU Sports Network. Talk to you then from Morgantown!
