Three keys to victory

1 Turn down the fire. After last week, the TCU secondary might still be feeling the heat after getting scorched for 355 yards. Army’s passing game is not as dangerous, but TCU cannot let Army move the ball through the air. The Frog secondary needs to get its confidence back.

2 Chuck it. Junior quarterback Sean Stilley threw for 158 yards against a second-class Tulane secondary. To date, the Frogs are averaging just over 5 yards per completion. When teams stack the line, TCU needs to take shots down the field with its speedy receivers LaTarence Dunbar and Adrian Madise.

3 Capitalize on mistakes. Army made three mistakes against East Carolina that were converted into 21 points. Two turnovers and a punt returned for touchdowns. TCU needs to take advantage of a turnover-prone Army squad.
