There are only two games between ranked teams this weekend, and the first is TCU-Oklahoma State. The Cowboys have hardly been challenged so far, convincingly winning their first three games against Tulsa, South Alabama and Pittsburgh by an average score of 54-17. Mason Rudolph hasn’t had to play in a fourth quarter yet this season. He’s still averaging nearly 400 passing yards per game and threw for a program-record 423 yards in the first half alone against the Pitt Panthers.
Horned Frogs Coach Gary Patterson seems to have plugged some holes after a 6-7 season last year, and his team has faced stronger competition than Oklahoma State has this season with FBS wins over SMU and Arkansas.
