This rivalry game doesn’t feel as much fun this year, does it?
TCU has struggled mightily out of the gate, and fan support is waning — or worse, indifferent.
Meanwhile, before Saturday, the Bears had had more games cancelled than they had played, and now had three of each. The Horned Frogs are a sad 1-3 and the Bears just 1-2, and neither team has anything close to the fireworks on offense of years past.
Instead, we will be treated to a defensive duel between two of the game’s brightest minds on that side of the ball; first year head coach Dave Aranda has a national championship ring on his finger from directing the potent LSU defense in 2019, but the star power is considerably more dim in Waco this fall.
