- TODAY'S FEATURE GAME -
Brigham Young Cougars at TCU Horned Frogs (-13.5) (:00 ET)
Box Score | Recap
Let's be honest... Nobody is going to be watching this football game (who watched game 6 of the World Series last night)... Even people who don't go nuts about baseball might be interested in seeing what kind of tense magic the Texas Rangers & St. Louis Cardinals can conjure tonight... Last nights game will go down in the annals as one of the best 'Game 6's' of all time (maybe the best ever)...
So here in Texas, the Horned Frogs are going to have to compete with the Rangers & the weekly ritual of 'Friday Night Lights' (referring to the high school games that are building towards their season finales... Andy Dalton is in the NFL now & there's just not the same passion as when TCU was playing with a '#' in front of their school...
Nevertheless, I think they cover here... BYU has been playing these Friday Night games all year long (mostly at home), so I think the novelty has worn off... You gotta think the faithful who mosey on over to Amon Carter stadium are REALLY interested...
This one win has the chance to vault TCU into the top #20 (which perhaps qualifies them for a better brand of muffler bowl in silly season)... So they have that going for them...
The Vegas angle is mostly that publicly backed FIU failed to cover vs. Troy on Tuesday & Virginia knocked off the Miami Hurricanes last night... The public won with heavily favored Houston vs. Rice last night (I think Houston got a phone call at halftime letting them know that Virginia was winning, so it was OK to run up the score... The Pitt-U Conn game was fairly evenly bet... Bottom line is that Vegas isn't really exposed here (just a slight public lean towards TCU)...
TCU for (0 units)...
