TCU is fortunate not to have a three-game losing streak having nipped Iowa State in its last game on a field goal with 37 seconds left. The problem for the Horned Frogs, who were ranked 14th three weeks ago, is not their defense. That's still first-rate. It's struggling quarterback Shawn Robinson and an offense that managed just 16 points against Texas and 17 versus Iowa State in TCU's past two games.

Robinson has a 4-to-6 touchdown-to-interception ratio in his last four games. He has failed to pass for more than 200 yards in all but one of TCU's five games this season. Darius Anderson, TCU's top running back, isn't helping either averaging 2.3 yards per carry in his last two games on 24 carries.

Texas Tech has a middle-of-the-road run defense. The Red Raiders can handle TCU's offense right now especially given Robinson's lackluster performances.

I also see TCU keeping Texas Tech's powerful offense in check just like last season when the Horned Frogs beat the Red Raiders in Lubbock, 27-3. TCU has the second-best scoring defense in the Big 12 yielding 20.8 points per game. The Horned Frogs also rank 12th in the country in fewest yards allowed per game.
