It was a shame that TCU lost their opener at Baylor – it was a hell of a game. \u00a0Their defense was a mess throughout the contest but with Casey Pachall at the controls they showed amazing determination to get back in the game before losing it late. \u00a0 <\/p>\n
TCU Horned Frogs vs Air Force Falcons <\/strong>TCU<\/strong><\/p>\n Now that they have lost, eliminating themselves from BCS contention, it will be interesting to see how the Horned Frogs play throughout the rest of the season. \u00a0Especially given that they are saying adios to the MWC at the end of the season.<\/p>\n It took a while for him to get going but Pachall showed that there might not be much of a dropoff from the Andy Dalton era – at least at QB. \u00a0Unfortunately for TCU they got behind to the point that they couldn\u2019t achieve the balance they wanted – still they rushed for more than 200 yards. \u00a0Ideally they would like to grab a lead and play great defense while pounding the ball to victory. \u00a0In the opener they proved that they can compete in whatever type of game they find themselves in though.<\/p>\n What has happened to the TCU defense? \u00a0Sure there were some personnel losses from the previous season but this team had not given up as many as 36 points since 2006 so giving up 50 was a shocker. \u00a0Their pass coverage was horrible and the run defense was not much better. \u00a0Lucky for TCU, Air Force runs a much more predictable attack. \u00a0That doesn\u2019t make it easy to stop, but they have had success giving up an average of just 13.6 points to their triple option attack the last 5 seasons..<\/p>\n Air Force<\/strong><\/p>\n Air Force is always a little better than expected but never quite good enough to break through in the MWC. [soliloquy id=”82219″]<\/p>\n They are coming off a sloppy win against South Dakota and I am not liking what I hear from this team about how they were pulling for TCU so they could get a letdown game out of the Frogs. \u00a0To me that speaks to a team that doesn\u2019t think they have much of a chance to win, which is surprising because they have played TCU as close as anyone in the conference before last year\u2019s beatdown.<\/p>\n It would be fair to say that the Falcons might have just lost interest last week as South Dakota scored two TDs in the fourth to make the game look closer than it really was. \u00a0Air Force churned out nearly 400 yards on the ground 5 players with 49 or more yards. \u00a0Last year they struggled to run against TCU, one of only two opponents who held them below 200 yards all season. \u00a0They have to be able to run more effectively to upset \u00a0a stunned TCU squad.<\/p>\n Like other service academies Air Force seems to lack bulk and athleticism on defense. \u00a0However, since coach Troy Calhoun took the helm this has been a very good defensive team that gives up few points – perhaps helped by their ground oriented offense. \u00a0Last year TCU ran for almost 400 yards in a game that TCU literally ran away with. \u00a0TCU will look to establish the run this week and Air Force must be ready or a repeat of last year will occur.<\/p>\n AIRFC are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games on grass.
