The Horned Frogs have been stealthily sneaking up the rankings with their perfect start to the season.
This is their first year in the BIg 12 and this is their last nonconference game for the year.
During the 12-year (and counting) tenure of head coach Gary Patterson of the football team at Texas Christian University, he’s always made sure his squad brings it’s A-game when the nation’s elite competitors were in town. That sort of caged-animal, “never say die” attitude is what precipitates TCU’s move from the Mountain West to the Big 12 this season. This is a tough program that relishes the chance to play the Oklahomas and Texases of the world.
One of the travesties of the current bowl situation is that it places a team like TCU is a low tier game against a relatively low tier opponent before we even ring in the New Year.
It is too bad this contest is not on the gridiron because I would like to have seen that. TCU has no real pedigree when it come to hoops and even though they have a solid record so far they haven’t beaten anybody and have a loss to Norfolk State.
Eight months removed from going undefeated and edging out Wisconsin 21-19 in the Rose Bowl, Texas Christian University is heading into their final year as a member of the Mountain West Conference without their star quarterback.

One of the first week’s marquee match-ups takes place Saturday night in the House that [Jerry] Jones Built. Texas Christian, one of the top BCS busters in 2010, locks horns with a solid Pac-10 program in a game that will be a litmus test for both squads. 
Jacquizz and James Rodgers, brothers and Oregon State’s two most important players, are returning to their home state of Texas and doubtlessly will be amped up for this game. They will need to be ultra-explosive, because TCU is in great stead on both sides of the ball.
The Frogs should be well-prepared for what is essentially a home game for them (the Frogs are in nearby Fort Worth).
Veteran Frogs pivot Andy Dalton is ready to lead TCU to a memorable season and head coach Gary Patterson always has his men up for the big games. This is a game versus a BCS opponent on one of the biggest stages, just miles from home.
When the Beavers get either of the Rodgers brothers in space, they can put points on the board in a hurry.
The Frogs D must worry itself about limiting the damage these two players inflict. If these two guys can even be slowed, TCU has the horses elsewhere on the roster to finish the job. Though both of these offenses have the ability to strike quickly, this is the type of game where you might see more of a battle of attrition than you might think.
In the remote possibility this game came right down to the wire, both teams are well equipped with talented, veteran kickers and both can get a stranglehold in the field position game with thunder-footed punters.
More than likely, however, the Frogs showcase their talent on defense and slow Oregon State enough to let Dalton and his strong receiver corps pull away.
Patterson has been trumpeting for years that his program never gets the credit it deserves – it doesn’t seem right that they would be derailed in the season’s opening game in front of tens of thousands of (mostly) supportive fans.
