Oklahoma off a big win over Oklahoma State last week can share the Big 12 crown with a win and a Kansas State loss despite losing to Kansas State head to head, while TCU looks to finish the season with the Big 12's #1 defense in their first year in the conference. See how it all plays off and cash in with my early bird special backed by a full in depth analysis.


TCU continues to be the #1 defense in the Big 12, and now they'll have another stiff test going up against Oklahoma who just came off a huge win. TCU has a couple extra days to rest and prepare which is good for a team that starts more true freshman than any other team in the country. Overall they are one of the better coached teams and that has paid huge dividends. Now they have gone 0-3 at home in league play and that's 100% due to the fact that they have lost 10 turnovers in those three games to Texas Tech, Kansas State, and Iowa State. However Oklahoma is -3 in turnover margin on the year and is ranked 100th in the nation in forcing turnovers with just 14 on the year.

TCU has been here before against a team that likes to throw the ball all over the field. Oklahoma is 10th in the nation in passing play % at 58%. TCU has hung tough against West Virginia with a win on the road, Texas Tech, a loss by just 3 at home and SMU, a win all teams are ranked in the top 20 in passing play %. They have benefited from leading the league in forcing turnovers with 30 and have a great opportunity to be + in turnover margin on Saturday if they play smart on offense and continue to be aggressive.

You may be wondering what I mean by be smart, well last week they kept it conservative and kept running at Texas. Well they can do that again at home this week and have more success as Oklahoma is 88th in rushing yards allowed and 105th allowing 5.0 ypc on the season, 6.6 per carry per game over their last 3 games alone. To put things in perspective TCU only allows 2.7 ypc. Oklahoma's offense is getting too much credit after scoring 42, 50, 51 vs. the Big 12's 3 worst defenses. While Oklahoma is looking to play for a share of the Big 12 crown with a win and a Kansas State loss TCU will look to spoil it and I believe they will. They are just better in a lot of stats that matter including third down defense, red zone defense, tackles for loss, penalties, and special teams defense.
