It’s Battle for the Saddle week and TCU finds itself in a must-win game against Texas Tech if it wants to reach a bowl game in the postseason.
It’s a huge game for both teams as the Horned Frogs and the Red Raiders hope to become bowl eligible. Both teams faced two ranked opponents in their final three games, so this a must-win for each program.
The son of a longtime high school coach in Lubbock, Dykes knows Morton’s game well and he was also the quarterback that took the majority of the snaps last season when the two teams met. When he’s played this season, Morton has simply been OK. The TCU defense has a lot of respect for Brooks’ ability and will look for a much better showing after being carved up by the Kansas State rushing attack the last time out on the field.The Red Raiders lost a top-10 pick on the defensive line in Tyree Wilson, but Texas Tech has seen modest improvement on that side of the ball so far. The numbers across the board like scoring defense, rushing yards allowed and passing yards allowed per game are all better than a season ago.
Another name to know up front is Myles Cole, who recently had a three sack performance against Baylor. Those around Lubbock are hoping that’ll be the start of his breakout.One small area that could end being a big factor in the outcome of this one is fourth down. Head coach Joey McGuire has already let it be known that he’ll be aggressive and go for it on fourth as many times as possible. So far this season Texas Tech has attempted to convert 27 fourth downs and has been successful on 18 tries.
