Official: SMU vs. TCWHO Prediction Thread

[Harry0569]

It's time to fire up the old thread again.

Will we play with a sense of urgency/hit them in the mouth a la 2011?

Can GG pass on TCU's secondary (5 ints this year)? Will GG go deep?

Can we convert on 3rd down (39% conversion) against TCU who is giving allowing opponents to convert on 48% of 3rd downs

Can our O-line hold up against TCU's front four that has 8 sacks this year?

Can the SMU D get off the field on 3rd down (49% conversion) vs. the no.104 O in the land (Converting 35% of 3rd downs = #87 nationally)?

As Daniel Bryan would say: "Yes!" "Yes!" "Yes!" "Yes!" "Yes!"

I think we keep it close and I'd love to see a win. But my gut says something like 28-17 Frogs

[ojaipony]

35-10 TCU.

This SMU team has to be show me they WANT to win before I give them a W against a quality opponent. They "gave up" in the TTU game and were defeated before they ever got on the bus against aTm. And didn't come out with a "dominating" mentality against Montana St.

We definitely have the capability of beating them as I actually think the talent gap is a bit smaller this year (still wide, but doesn't seem as much so than 3-4 years ago to me, maybe I'm wrong . . . or maybe it's because we've actually beaten them once and played them real close at SMU last year in a game we played very ugly in).

[SMU89]

29 - 24 SMU

Open up the O

[RGV Pony]

TCU 31 SMU 16

tcu- 32 smu- 14. This team has no killer attitude and seems to give up as soon as the ball is kicked off. Just another indication that our $2mill dollar man has checked out on us.

Something sad. I did 4 little quick tests and I got losses by 20, 19, 17 and 16.

Maybe TCU--35 SMU--17.

tcu-45
smu-20

unlike sumlin fatterson will try to embarrass us but ends up embarrassing himself as usual.

When we unleash the secret offense that we have been hiding all along, it will look something like this:

The TCU i saw against LSU - we get killed. the TCU I saw against Tech - we can hang. who knows. Play smart and no penalties please and you have a chance - #23 is hard to stop

TCU 28
SMU 17

[Stallion]

we won't see that TCU first half gameplan against SMU. The worst coaching job I have ever seen from Patterson. TCU outplayed Tech in the 2nd half except for one big play pass which was perfectly thrown.

SMU 31
TCU 28

Goes into OT again in Ft. Worthless.

As a reminder - we are 0-1 against TCU since Grimace has stopped helping us.

Evidently the TCU team is feeling sorry for themselves and Grimace is not happy about their attitude:

Our teams seems to have taken on the lackluster attitude of our head coach...................
