The Frogs and Longhorns face off this weekend in a series that has massive implications for both teams, albeit for very different reasons. These two programs have seemingly trended in different directions this season, as TCU took a precipitous drop after four years as the reigning best team in Texas, while the Horns seem to be ahead of schedule in David Pierce’s second season in Austin.
As TCU fights for their postseason life, Texas is looking to lock up their first regular season Big 12 Championship since 2011, and with that, a chance to host a regional in Austin - something that hasn’t been done in several seasons as well.
