The TCU Horned Frogs watched the action from their couches last weekend, but are set to take to the field. They will head out on the road to face off against the SMU Mustangs at noon ET on Saturday at Gerald J. Ford Stadium. The contest is expected to be a close one, with TCU going off at just a 2-point favorite.
You can't lose the matchup if you win every quarter, and that was precisely the Horned Frogs' strategy against the Tarleton State Texans two weeks ago. TCU was fully in charge, breezing past Tarleton State 59-17 at home. The game was pretty much decided by the half, when the score had already reached 38-7.
Meanwhile, SMU came up short against the Maryland Terrapins last week, falling 34-27. WR Rashee Rice put forth a good effort for the losing side as he caught 11 passes for 193 yards.
TCU's win lifted them to 2-0 while SMU's loss dropped them down to 2-1. We'll find out if TCU can add another positive mark to their record or if the Mustangs can shake off the defeat and take the spring out of TCU's step.
