Three keys to victory

1 Run the option well Against Army, the Frogs were able to run the option with success. This, in turn, opened up the passing game and was a major reason why the Frogs rolled up 485 yards of total offense. The Frogs need whoever starts at quarterback to run the option aggressively.

2 Limit Gerrard The Frogs have shown they can stop the run. TCU’s performances against Nebraska, UNT, SMU and Army last week has shown as much. It’s in the air where TCU gets crushed. The Frogs cannot let quarterback David Gerrard take control of the game, or it will be a long night.

3 More inspired play Before last week’s game, the seniors held a players only meeting. The result, according to players and coaches, was increased intensity on the field and a 38-20 victory. When the Frogs have shown up to play, they have usually won. The Frogs need last week’s intensity to carry over into tonight.
