Can TCU beat Texas in Austin?
This is my upset pick of the week. TCU is an outstanding defensive football team. Having coached in Texas, I know what an opportunity this is for the Horned Frogs. TCU’s roster is full of players who weren’t recruited by Texas or Texas A&M, and because of that, they have a chip-on-their-shoulder mentality. There are enough talented high school players in Texas to field a very strong TCU team, and that mind-set might give the Frogs an edge. They’ll be licking their chops at the chance. 3. Will Clemson save itself from itself? The Tigers certainly have talent. Offensively, the running back tandem of James Davis and C.J. Spiller is among the best in the country, and quarterback Cullen Harper looked great in his debut. But the Tigers have collapsed in years’ past, and they don’t look immune this season, if Week 1’s comeback by Florida State was any indication.
