6. TCU Horned Frogs

TCU started the season with a nice victory against the San Diego State Aztecs, and were looking to build on that momentum headed into its home game against Arkansas.

Unfortunately for Gary Patterson’s team, that momentum racked up some insane statistics against the Razorbacks, but a game-winning touchdown by Arkansas in double overtime sealed the victory.

TCU quarterback Kenny Hill threw for 377-yards and a touchdown compared to Arkansas’ 223-yards passing for three touchdowns. But TCU dominated on the ground with 195-yards rushing for four touchdowns–compared to just one rushing TD by Arkansas.

What this says headed into conference play for TCU is that given how Big 12 teams have been playing, patience and cleaning up some fundamental mistakes could be all that stands in its way of competing for the conference title.
