TCU -22.5 over Smoo ******
TCU played Southern and beat them 55- to something...all starters sat out the 2nd half...Smoo got blown away by North Texas 46-23...and Smoo scored all of its 23 points in the 4th quarter...NT qb Fine was 40-50 for over 460 yds and a few Td's...Smoo defense was so bad..no pass rush and secondary was just as bad as last yr..NT had 9 different wr's get over 10 yds...Sonny Dykes " air raid" was grounded...but Sonny was an offensive coach at TCU so he knows there attack..but that doesn't mean anything because his defense can't pass rush,can't tackle or stop anyone.. NT had 34 1st downs...and Smoo has about 80% of their defense back this year...they did get 2 sacks on Fine after 50 attempts. Smoo qb Hicks looked terrible...they had no running game and their wr's are both in the NFL...
TCU is loaded...Patterson just reloads...he gets 3-4-5 star recruits to attend...they were 11-3 last yr..lost their top qb in the middle of the season..but in comes 6'2 Robinson a dual threat .. He had 5 td's in the 1st half last week..they have solid rb's and solid wr's..they have that spread attack and then power running in the inside...the only positive thing Smoo did last week vs North Texas was stopped the run..but NT didn't run it because Fine had all the time in the pocket...TCU can run it...they have their two tackles that are 6'7 and 6'8 weighing in at 315 and 330..but TCU strength is there defense...not offense...they play that Patterson 4-2-5 defense...could have the best defense in the B-12..there linebackers are strong against the run and there def-line puts pressure on the qp..there secondary are athletic and quick..
Frogs have owned the Stangs...last yr they won 56-36 and Smoo had a much better team...they year before 33-3 and the following yrs 56-37,56-0 and 48-17..
Smoo defense is in big trouble...Smoo offense vs TCU is even in bigger trouble...TCU has the speed and are stronger..with the spread offense its a bad matchup for Stangs defense..because there inside power running game will have some huge holes...with Robinson at Qb being a dual threat will create even bigger problems...these teams don't like each..they share the metro plex of Dallas and Fort Worth...think TCU wins this 55-14 and Smoo scores late in the 4th qrt...the only worry is TCU is at Ohio St next week...so Patterson will sub early and worry about a backdoor.. back in a few days with a few other games...

Worried about TCU taking foot off gas, but SMU players hate Sonny Dykes... think SMU lays down on National TV as well and down like 31-7 at half and TCU 45-14 as Horned Frogs play scrubs late and give up some points, could be 45-21... SMU players want Dykes gone! Line goes to 24.5 would be a concern as Patterson is not type of coach to run up the score

DD,you make some good points...Patterson is the best coach in the B-12 bar none...he will only run up scores on schools that recruit the same kids..look at theTexas,Baylors and Smoo's..last yr he beat Baylor 45-22,Texas 24-7 and Smoo 56-36.But its their defense..Texas Tech scored 3 pts,Texas 7,Arkansas7.....not sure of the Gary-Sonny relationship...Sonny coached for Gary at TCU ....last yrs game...Smoo was leading 19-7 at some point and then the Frogs woke up...Smoo had a much better offense last yr...but its Smoo's defense that is the problem TCU gained over 600 total yds vs the Smoo defense...Sony was hired to use his " air raid" offense in this conference...it sure didn't work last week vs an avg North Texas defense....NT doesn't have one player on defense that could start for TCU...think Patterson's TCU wins the " Iron Skillet" annual game big...they can easily win by +22 and not run it up....think Gary will "take foot off the pedal" at some point....but there is no pedal on defense...good luck

TCU -13.5 1st half ***
that way there will be no backdoor...just think they will dominate from the "get go"...

1st qrt -6.5 **

in a rush..can't break down games....I am working a big parade in my village...they jut drove the golf cart to my house..big job..in charge of lining up 120 fire engines,tractors,etc for the parade...
last night won big with Rutgers..thanks ibo...lost the 1st qrt and halftime plays..did make a huge -12 halftime play on TCU..the weather was a factor in the 1st half but by 2nd half TCU just dominated...

Army -8 over Liberty **
My buddy at West Point texted me...all they did was work on fumbles and protecting the ball drills..they had more fumbles last week then all of last year..think they bounce back

Wisky -35 over New Mex **
Miss St -7 over KSU **
just following some people here in cyberspace that really like this game..I know nothing about either team

ISU +3.5 over Iowa **

Ohio St -34 over Rutgers ****
Even though I won big last week with Red Nites blowing away Tx St they have some big time weakness's..They lost their top All Big 10 db...Art Sit is a freshman...great arm but threw 3 ints...not impressed back 7 now 6 are decent..but no pass rush... ohio st won last yr 56-0.. gotta run back later after parade
