First time ever College Gameday comes to Provo!

*Will Corso put on the Horned Frog mascot head?

*Who will the special guest be? Steve Young?

*Will BYU rise to meet the hype, or fold under the pressure?

I think the biggest question in the TCU game will be the teams strengths outshining their weaknesses. More or less meaning, BYU's Offense playing well enough to score on TCU's Defense versus BYU's defense being able to limit a less than stellar TCU offense. The same thing was said about last year's game and BYU just played bad all around. I personally think if BYU comes out flying high on the offense side of the ball and the D can step up and make a couple of stops, then BYU will win. I am more concerned that this game could turn into FSU part II. However, I think BYU is a bit more prepared to deal with the pressure and is not overlooking the frogs.

I'd like to think that we have a couple of special things ready for TCU. I'm of the opinion that the Coaches saw the whole schedule, and planned to hold a few things back prior to the TCU game because TCU figures to be the most important game of the year as far as obtaining the stated goals of confernce championship, and the Cougars' schedule up to TCU hasn't been such that they needed to do anything special for the past 4 games

I tend to think (maybe hope) is a better word that BYU played very conservatively on defense to show TCU as little as possible in this latest game, while on offense making a point of calling a few QB draws just to make them add that wrinkle into their defensive game plan.

Isn't TCU's offense in the Top 25 in both scoring and total yards? Just because they don't pass much doesn't mean they aren't good.

I hope ESPN's College GameDay crew does their homework and visits the TCU campus to get some film footage of this:
