Oklahoma State hosts Texas Christian tomorrow at the Boone in Stillwater in one of the best match-ups in week four of the college football season. The two undefeated team have one good win on their resume, with the Cowboys dismantling the Pittsburgh Panthers in the steel city by a 59-21 score and the Frogs scoring late to top the Arkansas Razorbacks 28-7 in\u00a0Northwest Arkansas.\u00a0This game opens the conference season for the 6th ranked team in Oklahoma State and the 16th best in the nation, TCU.<\/p>\n

On first glance, one would expect a high scoring affair, as Oklahoma State has the best offensive team in college football.\u00a0 TCU has had\u00a0enough success to take close games with Arkansas and SMU to win late with excellent 2nd half performances.\u00a0 OSU\u2019s first line players have not had to go into the fourth quarter as of this season, being pulled just after half in all three blow-out wins.<\/p>\n

As for TCU, their defense could be just another group to get smoked by the O-State offense.\u00a0 Using a three man front with three linebackers and five in the secondary, Coach Gary Patterson leaves his defenders in a precarious position with regard to the Cowboy running game.\u00a0 A set-up of the 3-3-5 defense alignment tells me that Poke runners, lead by their best back, Justice Hill (5\u201910 185), will chew up the Frog defense with a pounding of the defensive line, giving way to long and productive scoring drives.\u00a0 TCU can try to take away the Pokes passing game as best as they can, but when the formations on offense contain the \u201ccowboy back\u201d, which gives the\u00a0Pokes that extra blocker, TCU is in for a big time beat down. As I look at it, TCU is in for a tough day and this one could be a another OSU blowout by half, especially if TCU\u2019s Kenny Hill and company cannot keep pace. Add to the fact that OSU does not turn the ball over and TCU\u2019s offense is susceptible to inconsistent play by Hill, OSU\u2019s defense should do enough to let them cruise to an easy win.\u00a0 If the game is within a touchdown at half, we could have us a ball game. If OSU is up five touchdowns after thirty minutes, we will not.\u00a0 I suspect it is over by half.<\/p>\n

Final: OSU 58 and TCU 31<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

As for the Oklahoma Sooners and their trip to Waco to play the hapless Baylor\u00a0Bears, OU will name their score. Will OU run it up in this one?\u00a0 Probably, as OU\u2019s 2nd team offense will add to the wipeout from the first half.<\/p>\n

OU 63 and Baylor 14<\/p>\n
