BYU has taken five of the teams' seven all-time meetings, including three of four at TCU's Amon G. Carter Stadium. The Cougars won their last trip to Fort Worth 31-17 on Sept. 28, 2006, one of the Frogs' four losses in their last 32 home games.
TCU will have its work cut out for it against BYU's Max Hall, who ranks among FBS leaders with 1,852 passing yards and 20 touchdowns. Hall, 17-2 as a starter, completed 22 of 34 passes for 265 yards and three touchdowns against New Mexico, and has thrown at least two TDs in each of his last eight games.
Hall is converting an astounding 70.7 percent of his pass attempts for more than 307 ypg and has 20 touchdowns against just four picks.
With Dalton still listed as questionable with a right knee injury, Jackson has to carry the offense again for the Horned Frogs. Filling in for an injured Andy Dalton at quarterback, Marcus Jackson had a bit of an off-day versus Colorado State last week, hitting 16-of-26 passes for 166 yards and an interception, yet still played well enough to secure the Frogs a narrow six-point win on the road.
The Horned Frogs turned the ball over twice, but it could have been much worse with TCU putting the ball on the turf a total of five times and losing possession just once in those instances.
Predicted final:
20 -10 BYU :SIB :SIB :SIB :SIB :shrug: :SIB :SIB :SIB :SIB
