TCU is entering this game with a 3-0 record overall to start their college football season and they will be playing their 2nd home game of the season as they are 1-0 in their home games this year. This will also be the 1st conference matchup on their conference schedule this season. They won against the SMU Mustangs in their last game on the road 42-34. Max Duggan started that game at QB and he completed 22/29 passes for 278 yards and 3 touchdowns. Kendre Miller led the team in rushing with 142 yards and 1 TD on 17 carries. Derius Davis led the team in receiving with 78 yards and 1 TD on 3 receptions. Abraham Camara led the defense in that game with 6 solo tackles and 2 assisted tackles. Johnny Hodges and Tymon Mitchell both led the defense in sacks with 1 each while Abraham Camara and Josh Newton each came away with 1 interception for them in that one.

The current betting odds have Oklahoma listed as a 6.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Oklahoma just took a very bad loss at home to KSU and they may have just destroyed their season as there is no real chance of them getting into the final four now. They can still win their conference championship though since it is only 1 loss and very early in the season, they will have to turn up their level of play here. They will be angry from that loss last week and looking to take that out on TCU here. TCU has played well to start their season but they also haven't been given any real challenges with their opponents, but they will be getting one now. Oklahoma cannot afford to lose another game though and they have a lot more talent on their team compared to TCU. Venables is a defensive coach and he will make sure the problems on his defense are fixed in this game and they will make it hard on TCU to score here. Their offense still put up a lot of points last week and they will do the same in this game with Dillon Gabriel leading this offense and the talent he has around him. The best way to place a bet here is on Oklahoma to cover the spread in this game.

"I don't think that we played, obviously, like we have these first three weeks. It starts with the man in the mirror and it starts with us as coaches. Obviously, we did a poor job of getting our guys ready to play. Obviously, we didn't handle success very well. Sometimes, it's just the other team. They just outplayed you, outcoached you." - Brent Venables after his team’s loss against KSU in their last game.

 

 

"There wasn't a lot of talking going on. I thought it was a cleanly played, good, hotly contested football game. Just exactly what you'd want." - Sonny Dykes after his team’s win against SMU in their last game.
