Could this be a trap game for TCU? This game takes place before the first big Mountain West showdown between TCU and BYU on this upcoming Thursday. Probably not since TCU’s coach Gary Patterson will have his team ready this week.

TCU most likely will be without quarterback Andy Dalton who has missed the last game and a half with a right knee injury. As of yesterday Dalton’s status is uncertain, even though coach Patterson said Dalton could have thrown few passes in last weeks win over San Diego State.

Marcus Jackson who has been the backup this year has been playing very well, and he brings a different element to the Horned Frog offense with his running abilities.

This game could be interesting because of the weather, there have been reports of possible rain and snow to a high of 65 and sunny. Weather could be an issue, especially since it changes quite frequently in Colorado Springs.

Colorado State’s hope in this game is to get the same performance from Gatrell Johnson III who had 191 yards last week against UNLV. Obviously TCU’s defense is much better then Vegas.

It will be tougher for any of the Rams backs to be too successful. The Rams will need to make plays in the passing game with Billy Farris, because TCU will stack the box against the run and force CSU to make plays in the passing game or dare the Rams to run against eight lineman.

TCU should have no problem winning this game, because they want to try to reclaim the conference title and it most likely will take an undefeated conference record to do so.

Final Score: TCU 35 Colorado State 17

(3-3) #8 (5-0)
