Patterson understands the kind of fight this game almost always is. Will the Frogs fully understand that this is SMU’s super bowl?

TCU’s running game could easily dictate the pace of this game, if they’re given the chance.
The biggest unknown heading into this game for the Frogs is how much co-offensive coordinators Sonny Cumbie and Doug Meacham will call on Kyle Hicks and the rest of the running backs. After a stellar performance against Iowa State, the TCU run game has emerged as a potent threat, nearly on the level of the Frogs' spread passing attack.
