Colorado State is having another typically poor season. \u00a0They have lost 5 in a row but perhaps this team is not as bad as people think with back to back three point losses heading into the game on Saturday afternoon at TCU. <\/p>\n
Colorado State Rams vs. TCU Horned Frogs Colorado State<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0But before we go patting them on the back unjustly you should know this team has also lost to UNLV and UTEP this season.<\/p>\n The Rams are coming into this one pretty banged up with QB Pete Thomas questionable at the moment. \u00a0Last week backup Garrett Gryson got into the game and it wasn\u2019t pretty, and that was against a San Diego State team not known for defense. \u00a0TCU may not be as sharp as in year\u2019s past on D but Gary Patterson can certainly make it tough for a freshman signal caller. \u00a0It is not like they can take the pressure off with the run either.<\/p>\n Colorado State and TCU have met only 8 times with the Rams winning just once, in their first meeting back in 1998. \u00a0It has truly been the case of lack of offense (and great defense) by Colorado State. \u00a0In the losses they have scored in double figures only twice with a high of 14 points. \u00a0The only thing that CSU has going for it in this one is that TCU might have a letdown after their big win at Boise State last weekend.<\/p>\n TCU<\/strong><\/p>\n They won\u2019t be playing in the Rose Bowl again this year but the Horned Frogs have to be pretty pleased with themselves after winning at Boise State last weekend. \u00a0[soliloquy id=”82219″]<\/p>\n \u00a0It was an exciting finish that almost makes you wish they were sticking around in the Mountain West so they could have a few more regularly scheduled battles. \u00a0Oh well…Memories.<\/p>\n Andy Dalton had a bad week in the NFL but his replacement Casey Pachall showed that the Horned Frogs are in good hands for the next few seasons. \u00a0The sophomore is having a super season completing 68% of his passes with just 6 picks for the season. \u00a0His favourite target is another sophomore receiver Josh Boyce. \u00a0Look for this combination to be one of the better ones across the nation in the years to come.<\/p>\n Above I outlined how TCU has just owned Colorado State since joining the Mountain West. \u00a0On both offense and defense they have dominated outrushing the Rams by more than 100 yards in each of the last seven games. \u00a0In fact, three times, including last year, they have outgained CSU by more than 300 yards on the ground alone. \u00a0TCU has great balance this year so even though they are not as stout defensively they can still put on another whooping.<\/p>\n ATS Pick: \u00a0Colorado State +35.5 CFB Handicapping: Colorado St. Rams vs TCU Horned Frogs Colorado State is having another typically poor season. \u00a0They have lost 5 in a row but perhaps this team is not as bad as people think with back to back three point losses heading into the game on Saturday afternoon at TCU.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":180,"featured_media":26292,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-45729","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ncaa-football"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45729","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/180"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=45729"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45729\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":45792,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45729\/revisions\/45792"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/26292"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=45729"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=45729"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=45729"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
