Kickoff Time & TV Info Announced for WVU at TCU

A sneak peek at the Horned Frogs...

It's been a rough start to the season for the Horned Frogs, who enter Week 7 with a 2-3 record. They have picked up wins over Grambling and Arkansas State and have lost to every Power Four team they have played: North Carolina, UCF, and BYU.

Defensively, TCU is among the best in the Big 12 Conference, limiting opponents to just 255 yards of total offense per game. They've been solid against the run, but they have the second-best pass defense in the conference (155.4 ypg/all.). Because of that stingy defense, they've allowed the second-fewest points per game in the league at just 13.4.

Unfortunately for Sonny Dykes, they just haven't had the offense to complement that championship-caliber defense. They've been able to throw it around pretty well with QB Jaden Craig, but the ground game just hasn't been there for them, checking in dead last in the Big 12.

TCU is basically the exact opposite of West Virginia — it can stop just about anyone but can't score. The only difference is that they are nearly as bad offensively as the Mountaineers have been defensively.

When the two first entered the league back in 2012, they had some nail-biting finishes that alternated winners for four years. That was followed up by each team recording a blowout before the Mountaineers started to experience more success in the series. West Virginia now holds an 8-6 edge and has won six of the past nine meetings, although the Frogs have won two of the last three. Oddly enough, the Mountaineers have fared much better against the Frogs down in Fort Worth with a 4-2 record in six trips.
