To the TCU faithful, the Horned Frogs football team has been a bit disappointing in 2007. The Frogs have lost three of their seven games played, two of which came against conference foe Air Force and Wyoming. Entering tonight’s game with Utah, the Horned Frogs are tied for sixth-place with the Utes in the Mountain West Conference standings, each team with a 1-2 conference mark. A loss tonight will practically kill any chance either team has in winning the Mountain West Conference championship.
Utah (4-3, 1-2 MWC) has picked up some momentum since their season low-point, a 27-0 shut out loss at UNLV back in week 4. The Utes have been impressive in defeating Louisville Oct. 5 on the road and dominated San Diego State at home last week. Utah has covered two straight ATS.
TCU picked up a needed win at Stanford last week, a win that has a more impressive look since the Cardinal upset of then No. 1 USC two weeks ago.
