TCU: The 2-1 Horned Frogs are unranked in the AP poll but a tied for 21st in the latest Coaches' Poll. Junior QB Kenny Hill has thrown for 1035 yards but just four TDs (with three INTs) through three games. He has added six rushing TDs while averaging 6.1 YPC. TCU has run for 215.7 YPG (on 6.1 YPC) and has 13 rushing TDs on the season. However, TCU will be without the versatile KaVontae Turpin due to a knee injury. He has 16 receptions for 196 yards but maybe more importantly, he is one of the nation's top return specialists. He leads the nation in punt-return average (28.8 yards, one TD) and ranks fifth in kickoff returns (32.8). TCU is averaging 46.0 PPG (12th) on 571.7 YPG (4th).

SMU: The Mustangs are also 2-1 to open the 2016 season and while the offense averages 490.7 YPG (28th), it has only translated to 25.3 PPG (ranks 98th!). The defense is allowing 25.0 PPG but is tied for third in the nation with 10 takeaways, including nine INTs. Redshirt freshman QB Ben Hicks has passed for a modest 583 yards with just two TDs and has already been picked off five time. The running game is solid (244.7 YPG on 5.6 YPC) but has produced just three TDs on the ground.

The pick: SMU came up woefully short in losing 40-13 at Baylor on September 10, allowing the Bears 536 yards. Not sure we should expect the Mustangs to be any more competitive against the Horned Frogs, even at home. TCU has won 14 of the past 16 meetings between the schools and the last time here in Dallas, won 56-0. Last year's score in Fort Worth was 56-37. Maybe SMU should rid themselves of these games on the schedule against former SWC rivals? Lay the points.
