Ohio State Buckeyes at Texas Christian Horned Frogs Overview
Ohio State Buckeyes
The Buckeyes entered the 2018 season with a whole lot of controversy surrounding their program. Coach Urban Meyer was alleged to be involved in a high-level misconduct case that resulted in his subsequent three-game suspension. Meyer’s punishment will be commuted after this third and final game, but it comes at a crossroads in Ohio State’s campaign. So far, the Buckeyes have been academic in absolutely throttling both Oregon State and Rutgers in their first two games this season, posting a 2-0 ATS record over the span. Dating back to last year, the Bucks have covered the last four in a row.
Texas Christian Horned Frogs
The Horned Frogs like their counterparts in this contest enter in excellent form. TCU comes in on an exceptionally high note as they smoked cross-state rival SMU last week by a score of 42-12 in Dallas. Like Ohio State, TCU also features one of college football’s elder statesmen at Head Coach in Gary Patterson. He is the one that developed TCU from a small mid-major program to now a Big 12 contender on an annual basis.
Reasons To Back Texas Christian University
TCU is very much like Boise State in that it was at the forefront of leading both the BCS Buster and Group of Five ascension revolution. However, TCU managed to matriculate itself into a Power Five conference and has become a big dog in its own right. This game has a feel similar to when we saw the Frogs in the Rose Bowl against Wisconsin or when they were on the outside looking in of the College Football Playoff and went to the Peach Bowl against Ole Miss in the first year of the College Football Playoff in 2014.
Reasons To Avoid Ohio State
There was a whole lot of hoopla surrounding this team as a potential National Champion contender in the pre-season. While the body of work of Ohio State has shown to be impressive, it was achieved against two cupcake football teams at home. Now, Ohio State is traveling into a hostile environment against a team far superior in quality compared to their previous victims. They must do so without their mastermind. Spotting nearly two touchdowns on top of this is extremely disadvantageous.
