TCU opens as fav over Texas

[horninchicago]

We have not won in Ft Worth since Mack Brown

Fort Worth...it scares you to death.

No kidding though, heard TH saying the other day what an intimidating environment Amon G. Carter can be blah blah blah.

TCU probably has at least half of its starters who feel wronged they weren't recruited by Texas. That and our lousy D, I don't have much confidence in Texas beating them in Fort Worth.

I did not go to the OU forums b4 your game w them but I bet someone there said something like this w all the Texas players they have. LSU gets a bunch too, so does Ohio State, so maybe, just maybe, you are not getting what you think, except the Qb, anyone that watches football has to like him. BTW the injury situation you are in on defense is what TCU was going through last year, except the TCU QB based on results was a huge recruiting bust.

Quite the contrast in uniforms, our icy whites and their whatever blacks.

Worst TCU uniform ever.....wish they would stop accommodating the Chinese, I mean Nike.

Patterson sure has caught a lot of crap on these boards over the years. He's a darn good coach who gets more from less than just about anyone. He can also identify the diamonds in the rough that UT, OU, etc. wouldn't even give the time of day to. He's like a younger, sweatier Bill Snyder.

Not to worry--Sam's sheer force of will, if nothing else, should get us the W on Saturday.

Yes, exactly. However, the TCU OC has to go and I think he will, this is the poorest coached offense this decade. I did not think there was any way TCU would win, like last year though, when the Qb turns the ball over.......This is still a bad TCU team. Big 12 a mess after yesterday. Who makes the Cheeze It Bowl?

Well, you certainly got to see Owens yesterday. I wouldn't get down on the guy. When you throw Freshmen into the defensive backfield, at times they will play like Freshmen. No surprises there. His raw talent and closing speed is evident, he just needs the experience.

One of the toughest parts of coverage is to know just when to turn around and look for the ball and to make that move without losing the receiver. It's a split second sort of thing. I think he'll get there, but he's not there yet. Sort of like the ongoing development of Boyce.

I can’t help you with being able to pick up on sarcasm.

Sounded like he sort of reiterated this after the game.

Yep, he was not ready. But he is still a physical freak

This part is psychological--because he's tall and he wears #44, he just sort of looks like a LB. So a football player's (and fan's) mind subconsciously tells him: 'that guy's too slow to be covering a WR.' This could end up working to our advantage later on.

He was beat by inches both times. A freshman.
