GAME BREAKDOWN
KEY MATCHUP: TCU’s defense against Oklahoma State’s explosive offense. The Cowboys can run up and down the field with any team in the conference. To stay in the game, TCU has to produce a twin of the performance it did last week in its gritty win over Baylor — get Oklahoma State off the field and force turnovers.
DRAFT SLANT:
–DE Ben Banogu is the easy pick to be the Horned Frogs’ first player taken in the 2019 draft. He’s a speed rusher off the edge and will be looking to build on his junior season in which he had 8.5 sacks and 16.5 tackles for loss. He had a team-high 10 tackles, four of them for a loss, a sack and a forced fumble in the win over Baylor; Banogu now has 49 stops, two forced fumbles including one that led to a TD return, a fumble return for score, another fumble recovery, six sacks and five quarterback hurries for the season.
ROSTER REPORT:
–QB Michael Collins and running backs Darius Anderson and Sewo Olonilua suffered injuries in the win over TCU and will likely miss the Oklahoma State game.
–WR Jalen Reagor has a touchdown catch in a career-best six consecutive games, tying Josh Doctson’s school record from 2015. Reagor has been on the receiving end for four of TCU’s six passing plays of at least 50 yards this season.
