TCU-13


Key Injuries
SMU WR Cole Beasley 31 catches, 376 yards in 4 games is doubtful with a knee injury.


TCU -RB ED Wesley-Shoulder-Probable Wesley has been injured all season but rushed for almost 1100 yards last season for the Horned Frogs.


This season has not exactly started out as planned for the SMU Mustangs. Starting QB Kyle Padron has lost his mojo and has been replaced by senior JJ McDermott. SMU is a pass first team and the loss of their leading receiver diminishes the already small chance SMU could do something they have only done once in 11 tries and that is beat TCU.


TCU has beaten a very good SMU team by a combined 80-38 the last two seasons and should get a huge spark on offense this week with the return of last season's leading rusher Ed Wesley.


There was supposed to be a learning curve this season for Sophomore QB Casey Pachall and some predicted that TCU would have to lean on a stingy defense until Pachall could get a good grasp of the offense. This has not been the case as Pachall has completed 69.2% of his passes this season with a 10-2 TD/INT ratio and a QB rating of 165!


TCU has already rushed for 874 yards in four games and the return of Wesley is only going to make the rushing attack that much better. The Horned Frogs are averaging 44 points per game thus far with a schedule that has included road games vs Baylor and Air Force. TCU has the better coach and the date change from Friday to Saturday only gives Gary Patterson more time to prepare for SMU. Without the services of their go-to-guy,  the Mustangs are going to have a tough time keeping up with this potent TCU offense. The Horned Frogs should win this game bu three scores
