The Frogs have to get a rush on Mayfield and even that is not guarantee that he won\u2019t evade it to make the big play.\u00a0 With a host of capable running backs, OU is locked and loaded.\u00a0 Does TCU have the horses to stop OU consistently Saturday?\u00a0 I would not bet on it.\u00a0 As for the TCU offense, if they can sustain drives, make some big plays, control the clock, they can give OU all they want. The Sooner defense will get TCU\u2019s best shot and if the Frogs do not turn it over, they have a chance.<\/p>\n<p>Final:\u00a0 OU 41 and TCU 38<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<table
