3. TCU Horned Frogs (Record: 5-4)

Down. Goes. Baylor… again.

Coming off a loss at home to Texas Tech last weekend, TCU knew it had to carve out a statement win, and with Baylor suffering its first loss of the season in Texas, the Horned Frogs were able to dismantle a vulnerable Baylor team, 62-22.

I remember at the beginning of the season when experts were talking about how defense could be an issue for Baylor, especially with the losses of four starters, and injuries. Questions arose at how offenses would be able to exploit such losses, and TCU had no problem putting on a clinic to remaining Big 12 teams that have Baylor on their schedules.

Not only was TCU quarterback Kenny Hill able to throw for 244 yards and score a touchdown on Baylor, running back Kyle Hicks put up a career high 192 yards rushing, for five touchdowns. The most impressive state of the day, however, was TCU’s 688 total yards of offense, compared to just 415 by Baylor–a team that average 616 yards-per-game in 2015.

TCU has a bye this weekend, before hosting No. 18 Oklahoma State in two weeks.
