Texas is coming into this game with a 19-8 record overall and they are 15-2 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. This will be the 15th conference matchup on their schedule this year and they are currently 8-6 in their conference games this season.

TCU is coming into this game off of a win in their last game but they were up against a WVU side that has been awful against conference opponents this season and TCU had also lost 3 straight games prior to that win at home against WVU. TCU is on the road again in this game and they have been alright on the road this season with a 4-3 record but they are going up against a Texas team that has been very good at home this season with a 15-2 record. Texas has not been playing well recently with 2 losses in their last 3 games but both losses were against ranked opponents, including their last game which they lost at home to a Texas Tech rival team. They only lost that game by 6 points but they were swept by TT this season and they will be looking to take out their anger from that loss on TCU here. TCU is nowhere near as good as TT is and Texas will make sure not to lose another Texas rivalry game against a lesser team than they are. Texas should be able to win this game at home by double digits as TCU does not score a lot of points in their games and Texas has a great defense that will keep them from scoring more than usual.
