Crossing the Goal Line: Predicting the TCU vs SMU Football Game

TCU is returning to its home fan base, and you can expect it to be electric, as the SMU game is always that way. I expect the Frogs to come into this game with high expectations and ready to fight it out with the Mustangs for the Battle for the Iron Skillet.

The Frogs have had large back-to-back wins and have improved each week. TCU is coming off of their first Big 12 win against Houston, where they beat the Cougars 36-13. They will work hard to stay on track and play a good competitive game against SMU. TCU must expect SMU to be ready. In the end, it will be who wants it more. 

The Horned Frogs have better stats in almost every team stat category other than total yards allowed and passing yards allowed. I don't think SMU can hold the TCU offense the whole game. The Horned Frogs' rushing attack will get to them early in the game.

SMU's QB Preston Stone is a talented QB, but he doesn't have the years behind him that Chandler Morris has. Morris has more years of experience, which gives him the needed confidence. I think he keeps getting better each game. I think it will be a battle of the QBs this game.

All teams should be afraid of Emani Bailey. He can potentially be one of the top running backs in college football this season. Bailey and Trey Sanders are a deadly duo. The two backs will be too much for SMU to handle.
