TCU can win the National Championship this year! One of college football's most under-rated coaches is Gary Patterson, and the Horned Frogs coach has his team in position to win it all! Their offense has great, great depth at RB( 3 Rbs avgd over 6.5 y.p.c.), they have one of the best wr corps in the nation, and nearly 4 starters back on the offensive line, including a 1st team MWC player at the all-important Center spot. And, that side of the ball may not even be the strength of the team!
Last year, TCU had only 4 starters back on defense, and proceeded to give up only 12.8 points per game, 80 yards rushing and 158 yards passing. Opposing offenses completed only 474% of their passes! Yo, people, this year TCU has 7 starters back on defense. Yes, they lost AA DE Hughes, but, they have 3 starters back, including 1st and 2nd All MWC linemen, respectively.
They lost a 3rd team AA, but, get back 2 strong starters at the linebacking spots.
The one weakness on this team is at the CB position, where TCU lost 2 All-leaguers. If they do not win it all, it will be because of this position.BUT, coach Patterson has proven to me his ability to overcome the losses of key players on his prior outstanding defenses, and I believe he will do it again this year.
Oregon St. may be their toughest test, but, that game is being played in Texas. The other tough test on the schedule is the Utah game on the road. If they win both of those games, the only thing that keeps the Horned Frogs out of the championship game is the politics of the BCS!
