NEVADA has a future NFL QB and their offense is really good. It sputters sometimes due to OLinemen at Nevada but that QB if given time is deadly !! I don't know a thing about SAC ST. Cant answer that one, but OU nearly lost to TULSA and TULSA isn't good this year. OREGON nearly got beat by Fresno and OREGON beat OHIO ST so you can't really use the transactional comparison of teams.
Fact is - CAL defense is really good with really great bigtime talent. They will jell better as season goes on, but CAL has bigtime athletes on the defensive side of ball. Offense not so much but defense is SEC quality.
TCU defense is even better than CALs defense. MUCH MUCH MUCH BETTER !! TCU's defense could contend for top defense in the SEC this year (minus #9). #9 on TCU personally gave up 3 TD passes to CAL and 4 long gainers. It was really ugly and he should have been pulled off the field. Have never seen a CB abused like that before.
If TCU had # 21 out there on the field instead of second string #9 the score would have been TCU 36-CAL 10.
TCU has to do something about #9. Will be curious how Frogs deal with that really obvious sore spot on defense. Rest of TCU defense is HUGELY TALENTED !!

They did rebound for a win at home against Sacramento State, where they gave up 30 points. Not sure that will be the best defense the frog faces this year. We might not be the best, but surely OU or even Kansas will field a better D.
