Cincy on the Prowl
TCU is an offensive juggernaut, and despite some deficiencies on defense, there may not be a team who can keep up with their scoring ability.
Heisman candidate Trevone Boykin is putting together yet another masterful season, and is leading the Horned Frogs to a 51 point per game average. There are only two teams averaging more points than the Frogs, and one of them is their foe in the season finale, and what will end up being the defacto Big 12 Championship game – Baylor.
When the Bears and Horned Frogs meet on Nov. 27, everything will be on the line – a Big 12 title, a trip to the playoffs, and a likely national championship. While the two teams are both able to practically score at will (and give up nearly as many points), the battle will be decided by the quarterbacks. Whoever has the better game between Boykin and Seth Russell will stand on the winner’s side of the field.
TCU will have too much for the Bears to handle.
