Not gonna ruffle my rhubarb, TCU has played consistently good defense way more than anyone else in the B12, including and especially my own team.
No, no!  More especially MY own team!  At least over the last 5 years, anyway.

C-Dub, you and I have had our differences, but I'm gonna have to just go ahead and ask you to just back off.  Sure, maybe your defense was the worst last year, but Texas owns the shitty defense trophy from 2014-2017 and no amount of your protests is going to change that!

Well, one of us is going to have to be the bigger man, so--just this once--I'll let your ridiculous claim stand with no further rebuttal.

Good advice, Fearless.  I was probably feeling some positive waves when I decided to let Utee win the argument.

That's mighty kind of you.  Thanks!

I watched the OU/Houston game and was surprised at the ability of Houston to move the ball

on the sooners

Not sure if UH is under rated or if the sooner defense needs some work

course the Horn defense definitely needs some work

Everybody needs solid line play, of course.  Games are won and lost there, of course.  Underappreciated aspect of the game.  Folks focus on the "skill" positions.

Give me great lines and average skill players and I can do pretty well.

Vandy and Purdue could both be playing for that Win #6.
WRT Purdue, I was thinking the same thing.  Purdue's schedule is rough.  Their OOC of @Nevada, vs Vanderbilt, vs TCU doesn't have any major headliners but it doesn't have any pushovers either.  It would be nearly impossible to get to 6-6 if they start out 0-3 and TCU is probably tougher than Vandy so this game is almost a "Must Win".  

In conference play they have five home games that could each be winnable:
  • Indiana
  • Illinois
  • Minnesota
  • Nebraska
  • Maryland
Then four road games that will likely each be really tough:
  • Wisconsin
  • Penn State
  • Iowa
  • Northwestern
I don't see six B1G wins and five is far from a lock so they could REALLY use a win in this home game against Vanderbilt.
