way to step out on a limb with the line is 24.5 :lol: i honestly don't know enough about TCU this year to make an adequate prediction, but it is a rivalry game so you never know. How many people gave us a chance against tech when Kingsbury and Welker came to town? they barely got out of town with a 24-12 win....


Exactly, we can give our best guesses, but to say "this is going to happen" just does not fly. Should we have been within 14 pts of them last year?(methinks not). Were we better than them in '05 (hell no). Strange things can happen and here's hoping for a really strange Saturday night in Dallas.

TCU 42

BLM 3=INT
"D" 0=None


But hanging around here I have learned to have "No Expectations" and be "surprised" with the outcome!

I think TCU's D will be much better than Techs. We will get no more than 10 points at the most. TCU 38 SMU 7

"Mitchell was 10 of 19 in the first half, averaging an interception every five passes. He would finish his night just as it started, tossing his fifth interception and last pass to Daniel Charbonnet with under eight minutes to play in the third quarter."

Let's see 5 INT in 38 minutes

38 minutes/ 5 INT = 7.6 minutes/INT

so

4 INT x 7.6 MIN/INT = 30.4 min

30.4 MIN/15 MIN/QRT= 2 QRTS 24 SECONDS

Therefore at 14:46 of the Third Quarter.

We can expect BLM's 4th INT right after the Second Half Kickoff.
